The fans who watched 84 Jordan’s session are over 40 years old, and those who like 96 Kobe Bryant are at least 30 years old. There are three draft years in the NBA, except 84 diamonds and 96 gold, which is 03 platinum. Because James is still playing, we subconsciously think that the 2003 players are not far away, but in fact, not only James is left in 2003, but even the next 04 has already been wiped out!
Ninth place: Jeff Green, show No.5 in 2007, status: 7.8 points and 2.6 rebounds!
Green has dropped to 7.8 points and 2.6 rebounds per game last season, and then dropped to 4.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in the playoffs. However, the Rockets sent Green a two-year 16 million contract in the offseason. Once Green almost retired due to heart problems, but now he has become an evergreen tree in the league. However, this contract belongs to the team in the second year and is completely unprotected. At that time, Green will be almost retired at the age of 38.
Once supersonic two little!
Eighth place: Mike Conley, show No.4 in 2007, status: 14 points and 5 assists!
Conley is still living a good life. Getting 31 minutes of playing time in the Timberwolves is the main force, and there is still $24.36 million left in the last year of the contract. Conley is only 35 years old now and should be able to play for another three to four years.
Seventh place: Al Horford, 2007 Flower Show, status: 9.8 points and 6.2 rebounds!
Last season, Horford was amazing on the defensive end, and fans once regarded him as Duncan in his twilight years. This season, Horford’s defense lost its deterrent, and the offensive end was low and his face frame was almost gone. In addition, the average number of empty cuts per game was also a career low. For the Green Army, Horford only had the role of an anti-aircraft gun platform, so the Celtics introduced Polzingis to enhance the inside strength. Horford had 20 million yuan left in his contract for two years, and he was 39 years old after two years.
Horford used to defend the letter brother!
Sixth place: Kevin Durant, the second-place show in 2007, status: 26 points and 6.4 rebounds!
Durant used to be the first choice of offensive end in Thunder, Warriors and Nets, but now he has finally changed since he came to the Sun. For example, in the series against Clippers, Devon Booker averaged 37.2 points and Durant only scored 28.4 points. Time and tide wait for no man. This time, the strong dragon finally couldn’t hold down the local snake.
Durant’s four-year $194 million contract will not expire until the summer of 2026, when Durant will be 38 years old. For some old fans, we can watch Durant for another three to five years.
Booker didn’t give up the team’s first offensive choice like Curry did!
Fifth place: PJ Tucker, No.35 show in the second round of 2006, status: 3.5 points and 3.9 rebounds!
Many fans only see the highlights of PJ Tucker’s one or two rounds, but in fact, Tucker’s positive and negative values in many games, including the efficiency of the defensive end, are not as good as before. Tucker entered the NBA through the draft after his junior year. In May this year, Tucker was over 38 years old, and it is obviously impossible to expect him to guard against the letter brother and Tatum.
Tucker just signed a three-year $33.04 million contract with Philadelphia last season, and the contract will not expire until 2025. Tucker’s high salary in the next two seasons will also be a drag on Philadelphia.
Tucker is getting a little overwhelmed!
Fourth place: Kyle Lowry, No.24 show in the first round of 2006, status: 11.2 points and 5.1 assists!
Lori originally had $29.68 million left in his contract for one year. However, due to the poor performance in the playoffs and the tight salary space of the Heat, the Heat is currently trying to trade or use extended terms to buy out Lori to relieve their pressure. Lori is 37 years old, and players can only sign a basic salary contract after being bought out. It is very likely that Lori will announce his retirement within two years.
It is said that the Heat will replace Lori with Drazic!
Third place: Rudy Gay, No.8 show in 2006, status: 5.2 points and 2.9 rebounds!
Rudy Gay was traded to the Hawks by Jazz, and then to the Thunder by the Hawks. Finally, the Thunder announced that he had laid off the small forward who had played for the league for many years. After the general players began to wander around, it meant that it was not far from retirement.
Second place: Chris Paul, No.4 show in 2005, status: 13.9 points and 8.9 assists!
Paul has two years left on his contract, which is $30.8 million in 24 seasons and $30 million in 25 seasons. His salary is not much lower than Pu ‘er’s. Paul is over 38 years old. When he and Curry play at the same time, the team’s backcourt defense will be a problem. In addition, it is also a difficult problem for the team to hand over the license to Paul or Green. The best solution is that Paul enters the bench. It is not a good deal to exchange Pu ‘er for Paul.
Such a backcourt combination height and age have become a problem!
First place: James, champion in 2003, status: 28.9 points and 6.8 assists!
James won’t actually reach the age of 39 until December 30th. If compared by age, James’ 23-24 season is equivalent to Jordan’s 01-02 season. Jordan averaged 22.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 01-02 season, leading the Wizards to the ninth place in the East. It is still a high probability that James will surpass Jordan of the same age in data and record next season.
At present, James’ contract will expire in two years, and we will see if the total score of the two seasons can exceed 40 thousand. If this goal is achieved, James may retire in two years, otherwise he may still play one or two more seasons.
