In the NBA, almost every season, there will be stars who retire, some are abandoned by the league because they have not played in the NBA, and some are tired of the league and leave on their own, like Anthony last season. And which stars will leave the league this offseason? Judging from the news that is coming out now, these five former All-Stars are most likely, and Paul and Rose are not among them.

Kyle Lowry

Hard to say goodbye? 5 former stars who may retire in the offseason: Nuggets champion centers are on the list!

Lowry Sr. is 38 years old, he has bottomed out in the gas tank now, but in this season's playoffs, he averaged 7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game, the shooting rate was only 34%, not to mention the offensive efficiency, Lowry's defense has also become an ATM level, which is almost of little help to the team, and he has nothing to pursue, after all, the championship is also there, the big contract has been won, and he has been selected as an All-Star 6 times.

Of course, there may be young teams who will consider acquiring Lowry, but it is estimated that they will not give Lowry consistent playing time, that is, make him the leader of the locker room, and I think Lowry will most likely not accept such a role. Lowry had the idea of wanting to leave the league in an interview before, and he said that if he retired, he would sign a one-day contract with the Raptors, and then retire from the Raptors, as the first person in the history of the Raptors, he also deserves such treatment.

Oladipo

Oladipo can be said to have had a twist and turn this season, he was traded to the Thunder by the Heat in the offseason, but the Thunder did not keep him, but traded him to the Rockets as a matchmaking contract, and then in the Adams trade, he was traded to the Grizzlies, and then the Grizzlies chose to buy out Oladipo, after being bought, Oladipo also failed to get the favor of other teams, and is now a complete free agent.

Oladipo can be said to be a pity, he just proved that he was selected as an All-Star in the Pacers, but he lost his peak next season due to a serious injury, it can be said that he is no longer capable of playing in the NBA, and no team will want to get him next season, it is estimated that he may choose to play in overseas leagues, Oladipo is only 32 years old now, he and the letter are the same draft, it is a pity.

Jordan Jr

In last offseason, Jordan Jr. and the Nuggets reached a one-year base salary contract, and the Nuggets took him to make him the leader of the locker room, and the team won the championship at that time, they didn't care about this money, but now it's different, the Nuggets will have a total annual salary of 190 million players under contract next season, and the team also wants to strengthen the roster and improve the team's strength in the offseason, so in this case, they have no money to give Jordan Jr. alms.

Now Jordan Jr. has no ability to play in the NBA at all, the former Jordan Jr. was the top cake king in the league, but as he gets older, Jordan Jr. moves more slowly, and he has no projection ability, which is not helpful to the team, after leaving the Nuggets, it is estimated that no team will take him, he is likely to become a player abandoned by the league, and Jordan Jr.'s career can be regarded as okay, after all, he was selected as an All-Star, won enough championships, and his career was successful enough.

Guy

Guy also attracted the attention of many fans because of the template Maddie, and played an average of 20+ per game in the second year of his career, but then he lost his peak due to a major injury, and he did not have the level of a star, but after joining the Spurs, under the training of the Spurs, Guy played at the top 3D level, but for a big contract, he missed the last few years of his career and went to the Jazz to get a big contract.

As a result, the team didn't give him too many opportunities after coming to the Jazz, and he faded out of everyone's field of vision, maybe he could still give the team some help, but he didn't play for a long time and no one knew what level he was now, so he didn't dare to sign it, and the Warriors gave him an unguaranteed contract this season, but he was cut after that, and no team has been interested in him since then, and Guy is 37 years old and has reached the age of retirement.

Hayward

You may think it's strange to see this name, isn't Hayward still very young? Although he suffered a major injury, his performance in the years after the major injury was also good, although he did not have the level of the former All-Star, but the level of the top blue-collar workers is still there. It is true that before joining the Thunder, he still had an average of 14 points per game, but after joining the Thunder, his performance can be said to have fallen off a cliff.

Especially in the playoffs, he played a total of 7 games in the playoffs and scored 0 points, and in the end, the Thunder coach had to choose to abandon him, because it was really useless to play, as the Clippers team reporter said: he looks like he is retiring. It's been hard for Hayward to get a contract he wants in the offseason, and even said that some teams could end up without the ball given his poor defense and poor playoff performance.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these 5 players? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
