As we all know, the NBA offseason has been fully opened, and every year in the offseason, there is always a superstar transfer and signing, and the same is indispensable to the silent farewell of the veterans. Unlike the hot superstars and young players, once no team is willing to sign, then what awaits these veterans is the end of their careers, below we may face ten players who will retire in the offseason this year, and hopefully we can see them on the stage next season.
10. Joe Johnson
The 39-year-old Joe Johnson has not played in the NBA for two full seasons, the Pistons once provided him with a veteran base salary at the beginning of this season, but before the start of the game Joe Johnson was cut by the Pistons, Joe Johnson is still playing in the BIG 3 League, he has not yet announced his retirement, and is actively preparing for his return to the NBA.
9. Nick Young
Nick Young hasn't played in the NBA in a season, and he played for the Nuggets for a while last season, but the Nuggets didn't keep him. During this year's suspension, when Bradley announced his retirement, Nick Young also introduced himself to the Lakers, but the Lakers did not sign him in the end. For now, the likelihood of Nick Young's return is very low.
8. Tyson Chandler
Tyson Chandler signed a veteran base salary with the Rockets this season, and as the season ends, he becomes a free agent again, and from a performance point of view, the 38-year-old is very close to retiring, averaging only 1.3 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, but some teams may still need his experience, and Chandler himself has expressed openness to continuing his career.
7. Nene Hilario
Nene was sent to the Hawks before this year's trade deadline, then cut by the Hawks, and then no team signed him during the rematch, before being traded, Nene Rockets also belonged to the end of the water dispenser, and did not play a game - although it was cruel, But Nene was really not far from retirement.
6. Paul Gasol
Pau Gasol signed a contract with the Blazers at the beginning of the season, but was cut by the Blazers not long after, and has been unemployed ever since, during which Gasol has repeatedly reiterated that he has not retired, and there is also news that he may return to Barcelona. For now, the 40-year-old Gasol does have a certain chance of returning to the Europa League, but the probability of returning to the NBA is almost zero.
5. JR Smith
Before signing with the Lakers this year, JR Smith has not played for a whole year, the Lakers gave him a chance, but unfortunately JR's performance is really not particularly good, he can only average 2.0 points per game during the playoffs, three-point shooting rate of 27.3%, after Bradley's return, the Lakers may not choose to keep him, JR is going to enter unemployment again.
4. Kyle Korver
As one of the few players left in the 03 generation, Korver is now also 39 years old. His performance in the Bucks this season is not bad, averaging 6.7 points per game and shooting 41.8% from three points, but his defensive problems may become an obstacle, and for the sake of the alphabet brother's shooting, the Bucks may continue to keep him with a base salary.
3. Jared Dudley
Dudley has successfully won a championship with the Lakers this season, but his performance is not good, the entire regular season, Dudley's total score is only 58 points, the playoffs have not scored a point, from the point of view of contribution alone, the Lakers do not seem to have the need to leave Dudley, but from the perspective of the locker room, Dudley may have the opportunity to stay in the Lakers.
2. Uduness Haslem
Haslem has played only 28 games in the past three seasons, and it's no exaggeration to say that he was in a state where he could retire three years ago, but the Heat will renew his contract every year for the sake of the dressing room atmosphere. The Heat have managed to reach the Finals this season, and next year they will continue to have the opportunity to rush the championship, and it is not known whether the Heat will give Haslem a basic salary this time.
1. Jamal Crawford
After Winscat announced his retirement, Crawford became the oldest player in the league, he signed with the Nets during this year's suspension, but only played one game, scored 5 points and 3 assists, Crawford once said he wanted to stay with the Nets, it was up to the Nets to give them a chance.
