Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin had a solid season in his first year with the organization. 

On Tuesday during exit interviews, he said he wants to remain with the team after it lost to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals. 

"I want to be here," Martin said. "I've gotten better here and I believe I'll get better here."

Martin is among the Heat's seven players who will be free agents this summer. He feels he can contribute wherever he lands. 

“I feel like I can be one of those guys that fluctuates whatever a team needs from me,” Martin said. “If you need a guy to come off the bench, bring energy and do that stuff — I can do that; I feel like I can step in and start. It doesn’t matter what the role is and what a team needs from me, I feel like I can fill that void. My game expanded shooting-wise, being more efficient and consistent ... I feel like I took big steps and I feel like I’m only going to take larger steps going forward."
