5 players who may retire in the offseason: 38-year-old Paul is full of injuries, and 4 All-Stars are on the list!
After the start of the new NBA season, many former players have disappeared from everyone's field of vision, such as Rondo and Griffin, the two stars of the 10s, have now left the league and began to enjoy life. With that said, let's take a look at the five players who may retire in the offseason.
Paul
Paul was traded to the Warriors in the offseason, because his competitive status has declined significantly, he became a bench backcourt in the Warriors, you must know that Paul has never played as a bench before, but now Paul is 38 years old, and the Warriors still have Curry on the backcourt, and he should also bear the change of role, after joining the Warriors, Curry gave the team a good help on the bench, averaging 8.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season.
Although the individual offense is not good, but after all, he is a historical point guard, and he can still connect the team well, but Paul has missed a lot of games because of injuries, and Paul has been deeply injured in recent years, although he has always wanted to win the championship, but in terms of his current state, he is estimated to be difficult to realize his dream, but Paul's career is great enough, even if he retires, he can be regarded as a success.
Lowry
Lowry played for the Heat at the beginning of this season, but because his performance did not meet his annual salary of 29 million, the Heat traded him to the Hornets as a garbage contract, and the Hornets chose to buy Lowry, and now Lowry plays for the 76ers, although he is still a backup point guard, but Lowry's performance is not bad, averaging 7 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game, and he can still give the team some help.
Lowry is also 37 years old, he is a complete free agent in the offseason, as far as his current level is concerned, it is estimated that there will not be many teams interested in him, although he is a former All-Star, but he is afraid of being less and stronger, and his contribution to the team will become less and less due to the rise of age, of course, Lowry may also choose to retire because he can't play a decent game, as a first-round No. 24 pick, his career can be selected as an All-Star 6 times, winning the championship is already very successful.
Oladipo
Oladipo should have been abandoned by the league in the 22 offseason, but Riley gave him a 2-year 18.2 million contract, to be honest, Oladipo didn't expect that he could get such a big contract, after all, he wanted to fight for a base salary contract in the offseason, but Riley directly gave him a surprise, and Oladipo didn't get too many opportunities to play in the Heat after winning this contract.
He was instead used as a trade chip, first sent to the Rockets, and then traded to the Grizzlies as a matchmaking contract in exchange for Adams, and the Grizzlies did not choose to keep Oladipo, they bought out Oladipo, Oladipo did not even get a chance to play this season, the former All-Star backcourt is no longer capable of playing in the NBA due to injury, maybe he will choose to play in other leagues in the offseason.
Jordan Jr
Jordan Jr. didn't expect to get a contract last offseason, after all, he almost didn't have the strength to play in the NBA, but the Nuggets liked his contribution in the locker room, so they kept him, and Jordan Jr. also won the only championship ring of his career last season. Jordan Jr. averaged 4 points and 4.6 rebounds in 11 minutes per game this season, which is not bad, but it will not help the team much.
Because of how many points he scores on the court, opponents may score more points on him, because of his existence, now the Nuggets do not have a suitable interior bench rotation, if the Nuggets can't win the championship this season, then they will inevitably choose to strengthen the interior, then Jordan Jr. may be abandoned, Jordan Jr. is also 35 years old, he was also at the peak of his career under Paul's feeding cake was selected as an All-Star, selected for the best team.
Trestan Thompson
TT played for the Lakers last year, the team didn't give him much playing time, and the Lakers gave up TT in the offseason, they also realized that TT has been eliminated by the league, and this season the Cavaliers want to build a winning culture, they got back the veteran TT, since joining the Cavaliers, TT's performance can be said to be very average, he is only averaging 3.8 points, 4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game this season.
According to the current situation, although TT is only 32 years old, he will most likely be forced to retire in the offseason, because he has no strength to play in the NBA, if the Lakers didn't give him a chance last season, he may have left the league a long time ago, and this season he also violated the league's drug ban regulations, so he was banned for 25 games, which was not good, and now there are such bad off-court incidents, and it is difficult to return to the league.
