The NBA is a fiercely competitive business league, today's unlimited scenery, the core of the team, tomorrow may be because of the decline in form and sit on the bench or even no ball to play, this season there are many players encounter such a dilemma, next season may really have no ball to play.
Let's take a look at who we are today.
DeAndre. Jordan (Jordan Jr.)
Since the 14th season of Howard's All-Star tour, the NBA has not had a dominant center qualify, and today's small-ball era is the era of center decline.
Jordan Jr. was also named the best team and first defense in the 15th and 16th seasons, and he averaged 12.7 points and 13.4 rebounds per game. Helped the Clippers win 51 games. In addition, Jordan Jr. has also been the first in the league for four consecutive years in shooting percentage, and the rebounding block is in second place.
However, the speed at which Little Jordan, who once flew in the City of Air Connections, fell was astonishing.
Jordan, who was still an All-Star in 2017, can still get a big contract of 20 million in the 2018 offseason. Even in 2019, he can still get a big contract of 4 years and 40 million.
The body has not suffered major injuries, and there has been no significant decline in physical condition, but during the Nets period you can even see that he is not even willing to do basic defensive moves, and such a big black man's contribution on the defensive end is simply unsatisfactory.
This season, after the Lakers cut Jordan Jr., who has not performed well this season, the 76ers took him in, and the now 33-year-old Jordan Jr. has expired in his 76 contract, and the poor performance has made him a cancer on the team, and he may not have the ball to play next season.
Thaddeus Young was in the top three of his high school class in college, second only to Auden and Durant, with height, bounce and speed. Entered the league for the first two years of singles first-class possession and was once the 76 most trusted scorer. Has long-range shooting, mid-range shooting ability, basically has all the abilities of a small forward.
In the 2019 offseason, Thaddes Young can also get a three-year, $41 million contract.
On December 7, 2021, Thaddeus Young became the third active player to reach 13,000 points, 6,000 rebounds and 1,500 steals.
Last year, when he was with the Bulls, he was able to get a comprehensive statistic of averaging 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and his state declined significantly this year. This season at the Spurs and Raptors, the stats are only 6 points and 4 rebounds, becoming a substitute player, playing less time, and gradually being marginalized by the team.
Once the true core of the Pacers, now gradually eliminated by the torrent of the times, this season's contract with the Raptors has arrived, this year is 33 years old, can he appear in the NBA next season and put a question mark?
Ibaka has won the league block for two consecutive seasons, entered the best first defense for three consecutive years, and played an important role in the Raptors championship in 19 years.
Once the main player of the Thunder team outside the three youngest, the Raptors won the championship before the starter, played 903 career games, started 697 games, averaged 12.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game.
This year's Ibaka is about to turn 33, he has averaged 7 points and 5 rebounds per game this season, and his playing time in the Clippers and Bucks is quite limited, and Ibaka's NBA career may have come to an end.
Recently, according to the Italian Turin Sports Newspaper, the Bologna basketball club of the Italian league is interested in bringing in Ibaka, who is 33 years old or older, but Ibaka himself said that he still wants to stay in the NBA.
Griffin entered the NBA as a champion in 2009, winning the best rookie and rookie first- and first-time, 6 All-Stars, 2011 dunk contest champion, 3 second-team, 2-time first-team, a regular of the top ten balls, and showed the aesthetic of violence in the air-to-air city.
He chose to join the Nets for the championship, and last season he was the team's most trusted inside lineman, but this season Griffin only played 56 games in the whole season, and at the end of the season, he was hidden by the team. This is not unrelated to griffin's state this season, due to injuries and age, griffin has long since lost the courage of the past, averaging only 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.
Recently, according to US media reports, according to a general manager in the East, it is difficult for the 32-year-old Griffin to reach a contract extension with the Nets this summer. The Celtics may be Griffin's next choice, and the Green Army wants the White Devil to inject new energy into the bench.
I hope Griffin can create glory again.
Well, what do you have to say about that? Like and comment.
