The NBA playoffs are underway, and while the regular season has ended, many teams are already preparing for next season's roster building. For players who have not performed well this season, they may completely disappear from the NBA league after the end of this season, so which players may disappear in the NBA next season, today we will take a look at the 5 NBA players who may disappear next season.
5 Thomas Jr
Thomas Jr., the strongest 175 player on the surface this season, has once again returned to the NBA's field of vision, and he has returned to the NBA after a low point, which has made many fans call it inspirational. But the Suns were swept out 4-0 by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs, and Thomas Jr. did little to contribute to the team. For the Suns, this season's failure is bound to attract attention within the team, and Thomas Jr.'s shortcomings and age are no longer enough to meet the needs of the team, and he is very likely to disappear from the NBA league completely next season.
4 p.J. Tucker
A long-time league veteran who has played in the NBA for 18 seasons since entering the league in 2006, Tucker has expressed his displeasure after joining the Clippers this season with a significant reduction in his status and playing time. In the first round of the playoffs, the Clippers were eliminated, and Tucker will hardly stay with the Clippers next season. Today's Tucker not only has his stats declined, but even his personal abilities have fallen off a cliff. With such a performance, there is a high probability that he will not survive in the NBA next season, and Tucker may also retire.
3 Hayward
As a former Jazz All-Star forward, Hayward averaged 21 points per game at his peak, but suffered a serious injury after being traded to the Celtics. After the Celtics' comeback, as the double tanhua grows, he has to become the team's outcast. After joining the Hornets, he became a trade object for the team. After being traded to the Thunder this season, he was completely reduced to a marginal figure, you must know that his salary this season is the second highest on the team, but he has scored 0 points in 9 consecutive playoff games in the playoffs, and such a performance is likely to be unable to get a contract after the end of the season, and may even be unwanted.
2 Horford
Just today, the 37-year-old Horford helped the team win the second round of the playoffs, and the 17-year veteran of the league has been with the team to the Eastern Conference Finals many times. In the playoffs this season, he can also contribute 8.8 points + 7.3 rebounds per game, and in today's game against the Cavaliers, the 37-year-old Horford also scored 22 points + 15 rebounds. If the Celtics win the next two series, then Horford will most likely choose to retire and enjoy life after winning the championship. The five-time All-Star will likely retire by then.
1 Wiseman
As the third overall pick in the 2020 draft, James Wiseman has top-level talent, but there have been big problems with Wiseman's performance over the past four years. In his three seasons with the Warriors, not only was his performance inconsistent on the offensive end, but he also had problems with his teammates. After being traded to the Pistons, Wiseman would have ushered in a new start in his career, but his performance in the Pistons was only a flash in the bucket. The Pistons have the lowest record this season, and the team will focus on purging a group of players next season, while Wiseman's contract expires this summer. Given his performance, it will be difficult for him to stay in the NBA next season, and the road ahead will be increasingly difficult for the 23-year-old.
