Mario Chalmers, it's been a long time since we've heard the name, and it's true that since leaving the league in the 17-18 season, Chalmers hasn't been in the NBA or played a game for the team in the last 3 years. After leaving the NBA, Chalmers's name has gradually been forgotten by the outside world, and few people can still remember him. However, according to reporter JD Shaw, Chalmers, who is 35 years old this year, has signed a contract with the NBA Development League, and his goal is to return to the NBA stage.
Admittedly, chalmers, who played in the NBA, was a very qualified team to start the backcourt, and he had a strong ability to break through with the ball in the game, and at the same time he was able to connect the whole team to attack, and he also played very well on the outside. When playing for the Heat, he was a trusted player on the Big Three.
From 11-12 to 13-14, Chalmers started the team's backcourt for three seasons, averaging nearly 10 points per game, shooting efficiently and defending well. While the Heat were able to win the championship twice in the 11-12 and 12-13 seasons, Chalmers' performance was instrumental, he was the hero of the Heat's two consecutive championships, and a good helper around James, Wade and Bosh.
However, after leaving the NBA for 3 years, chalmers, who is also 35 years old, wants to return to the NBA stage, which is not very realistic in my opinion. Because in the NBA league, the guard is the least lacking position, each team has a strong young backcourt, even if there are many players in the league who are injured at present, but Chalmers wants to seize the opportunity and return to the NBA, it is still very difficult.
Although Chalmers was a strong backcourt player when he was young, he can serve as the starting guard of the championship-winning team, but in the past few years, Chalmers has suffered a very serious injury (Achilles tendon fracture), in addition, he has been away from the NBA for 3 years, plus he is 35 years old this year, in terms of competitiveness, he is far inferior to the current young guard, in such a competitive NBA league, Chalmers wants to continue his NBA career, the difficulty can be imagined.
Of course, Chalmers is not completely without opportunities, because there are currently multiple players in the league's teams that have triggered health and safety agreements, and the lineups of each team are incomplete, the more serious ones are the Bulls, Nets, Hornets and Lakers, etc. The Bulls even postponed the game with the Pistons because the lineup is not complete.
From this point of view, it is enough to see how incomplete the squad of the team currently affected by this aspect is. Although Chalmers is 35 years old, he has a lot of playoff experience, and he also helped the Heat win the championship and has the experience of winning the championship. In the absence of a complete roster on other teams, he still has the opportunity to be signed by other teams and return to the NBA, although the probability of such a is very small. The 35-year-old Chalmers, who still hasn't given up his NBA career, deserves praise for his spirit and finally looks forward to his good luck.
