A list of 10 stars who are likely to leave the NBA next season

The NBA free agent market has been open for more than 20 days, and each team has added very capable players to prepare for the playoffs and even the championship next season. All the players with great strength have also found their favorite next home. But there are also some veterans we are familiar with who are still idle at home. After this offseason, they are likely to withdraw from the NBA. Westbrook is such a pity. No. 1 Simmons is very regretful, and Fultz is also incredible. He is neither of them is 30 years old.

1, 40-year-old PJ Tucker, 1.98 meters tall, weighs 111 kilograms, and averages 7.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in his career. This front line veteran, known for his iron-blooded defense, was once one of the most reliable wing barriers in the league. He could defend from No. 1 to No. 5 at the peak, and even faced James. He was Harden's sword guard when he was in the Rockets and was also the center of the Rockets' death five small. His bottom corner three-pointer was once a weapon for the team to break the deadlock, with a career three-point shooting percentage of 36.1%, and the year he won the championship with the Bucks was a key rotation. But last season at the 76ers, he averaged only 3.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, his pace has slowed down significantly, and his defensive coverage has shrunk. Now in an unemployed state, it may be time to say goodbye to the arena.

2, also 40-year-old Ty Gibson, is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 102 kilograms, and is averaging 8.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in his career. As a second round pick in 2009, he gained a foothold in the league with his tough rebounding and solid inside defense. At his peak, he averaged 13.0 points and 7.8 rebounds in the Bulls. He is the most reliable inside partner around Ross. His pick-and-roll was extremely threatening, and his finishing efficiency at the basket remained above 60% for many years. But last season, he played in the Wizards only 28 games, averaging 2.1 points and 2.4 rebounds per game. His bounce and confrontational ability are not as good as before. Now no team is interested in it, retirement may be an inevitable choice.

3, 40-year-old Al Horford, 2.08 meters tall, weighs 109 kg, and averages 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in his career. This four-time All-Star inside player can not only play from low posts, but also pull out three-pointers from outside, with a career three-point shooting percentage of 36.8%, making him a rare all-round center in modern basketball. At the peak of his career, he was the core of the team's defensive system and helped the team reach the finals twice. But last season, his form declined significantly, averaging only 6.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, and his movement speed cannot keep up with the young players. He is now unemployed at home. Although the Warriors are interested in him, this is just a statement. Maybe he will choose to end his 19-year career.

4, 37-year-old Jordan, 2.11 meters tall, weighs 120 kilograms, and averages 9.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game in his career. At his peak, he was the top center in the league. He was elected as the rebounding champion for two consecutive seasons. The all-connected city with Paul and Griffin was once popular in the league. His violent dunks and blocking blocks were his logo. He was selected for the first team and All-Star, with a total rebounding number of more than 10,000 in his career. But last season in the Nuggets, he averaged only 2.1 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, and his bounce and explosive power have greatly deteriorated, and even simple all-in-one connections are difficult to complete. Now under unemployment, retirement is almost a foregone conclusion.

Five, 36-year-old Russell Westbrook is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms. He averaged 22.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game in his career. As the historical triple-double king, he has averaged triple-double per game for three consecutive seasons, winning the scoring champion and MVP. His impact and speed at his peak are unstoppable, and his performance of 50+ triple-double in a single game is epic. But as he grows older, his shooting efficiency has dropped sharply. Last season, he averaged only 11.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and his three-point shooting percentage fell to 29.6%, and his defensive end has also become a loophole. He played well in the Nuggets. This year, he insisted on choosing to jump out of the contract. Now no team is willing to rotate his position. It's really a cocoon. Perhaps Westbrook really wants to say goodbye to the arena.

Six, 36-year-old Markieff Morris is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 111 kilograms. He averages 11.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in his career. This inside player, known for his tough style, averaged 15.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game at the Suns at their peak, and his mid-range jump shots were stable, and he never feared physical contact during confrontation. The Morris brothers, formed by him and his younger brother Marcus, were once the most troublesome forward combination in the league. But last season at the Nets, he averaged only 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, and his movement speed and shooting stability have dropped significantly. Now he is unemployed at home, and the possibility of continuing to compete is getting smaller and smaller.

7, 35-year-old Claude, 1.98 meters tall and weighs 107 kg, and averages 9.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game in his career. He is a famous tough guy in the league. He can defend from the second position to the fourth position on the defensive end. At his peak, he averaged 10.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.9%, which is the key puzzle for the team to reach the finals. His trash talk and tough confrontation once gave his opponent a headache, but last season due to conflicts with the Suns management, he only played 18 games, averaging 4.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, and his condition has declined significantly. Now all teams have little interest in this veteran and may choose to leave.

8, Curry's younger brother, 35-year-old Seth Curry, is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 84 kilograms. He averages 11.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in his career, and has a three-point shooting percentage of up to 43.5%. He is a league-level historical scorer. As Stephen Curry's younger brother, his off-ball running and receiving shooting ability are not inferior. At his peak, the Mavericks averaged 15.7 points and a three-point shooting percentage of 45.2%, which is an important scoring point for the team. But last season at the Nets, he was trapped by an ankle injury, played only 46 games, averaging 8.5 points per game, and his shooting percentage fell to 41.6%. Now no team is willing to provide him with a contract, and may choose to fade out of the league..

9, 29-year-old No. 1 pick Ben Simmons, 2.11 meters tall, weighs 104 kg, and averages 14.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game in his career. As the No. 1 pick in 2016, he was once the most optimistic all-around defender in the league. He was able to cover multiple defensive positions based on his height advantage at his peak, and had a top-notch fast break pass vision. He was selected as an All-Star for two consecutive seasons. However, in the past three seasons, his attendance rate has dropped sharply due to back injuries and psychological problems, his shooting shortcomings have been infinitely amplified, and his free throw shooting percentage has been lower than 60% year-on-year. He only played 42 games last season, averaging 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, and his defensive movement has also slowed down. Now under unemployment, it is doubtful whether he can adapt to the NBA again.

10, 27-year-old No. 1 pick Markle Furtz, 1.93 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms, and averages 10.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game in his career. As the No. 2017 pick, his talent has amazed the league, with top explosiveness and ball-handling ability. He was hailed as the "Next Wade" in college. However, due to the rare neurogenic thoracic exit syndrome, his shooting movements were once deformed. The 76ers used the No. 3 signing Tatum for him, so he really regretted his intestines. At his peak, he averaged 14.3 points and 5.1 assists per game in the Magic, showing good organizational skills. Last season, he played only 10 games in the Magic, averaging 5.8 points per game. The repeated injuries made it difficult for him to stay in shape. Now he has no next home, and he may end his career early.
