<h2>NBA News: 3 Former Superstars That May Not Play This Season</h2>
<h3>3. DeMarcus Cousins</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221017_BUS_203035_demarcus_cousins.jpg_22993414_b0bb0a3d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    DeMarcus Cousins – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>DeMarcus Cousins’ </strong>reign as the most dominant big man in the league was short-lived, but that didn’t make him any less impressive. He didn’t find a lot of playoff success or play for good teams in his prime, but he was still the best in the game.</p>
<p>Boogie endured multiple major injuries, and spending that much time on the shelf can kill any player’s career. <strong>He looks in great shape</strong>but lost that quick first step that helped him bully his way to the rim.</p>
<h3>2. Dwight Howard</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221017_BUS_203035_dwight_howard_x1x.jpg_22993414_264789b4.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Dwight Howard- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Dwight Howard </strong>was the best center in the world for at least a decade. He’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer, one of the greatest rim protectors of all time, and a dominant two-way force like few before him.</p>
<p>However, he’s already reached the back end of his career. He’s bounced around the league over the past couple of years, <strong>finally winning that much-deserved ring</strong>but failing to produce at the same level.</p>
<h3>1. Carmelo Anthony</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221017_BUS_203035_carmelo_anthony.jpg_22993414_382399b2.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Carmelo Anthony- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Talking about great players who may have to retire without a ring, <strong>Carmelo Anthony’s </strong>name should be near the top of that list. It seems like it’s the end of the line for Melo after a remarkable NBA career.</p>
<p>Anthony is one of the best scorers of the past two decades. He was a force to be reckoned with during his days with the <strong>Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks</strong>, but his style of play may not be suited for today’s full-motion basketball.</p>

As the veterans will look out to be the top men in the league, as well. But for talented players such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kemba-walker-reacts-to-being-removed-from-the-new-york-knicks-rotation-20211206-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kemba Walker</strong></a>, time and chances aren’t something on the table, right now.</p>
<p><em><strong>“[Nobody’s] reached out to me. I’m just waiting… I just want to be able to play basketball again; I don’t care if it’s the bench or not.”</strong></em> the 7-time All Star said to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, as he waits a contract buyout from the <strong>Detroit Pistons</strong>, after he signed a <strong>2-year-deal</strong> that is worth<strong>$17,894,491</strong>, according to the specialized site <strong>Spotrac</strong>.</p>
<p>Now, he will have to wait outside the court for an offer that could lead him to any other <strong>NBA franchise,</strong> but maybe that wouldn’t be possible, as he hasn’t even played in the NBA preseason, where he could have shown some of his skills. So, theseother <strong>four players</strong> are in the same situation as him.</p>
<h2>NBA: Former All-Stars forced to stop playing ahead of the 2022-23 NBA Season</h2>
<h3>1. Carmelo Anthony</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221010_BUS_202426_carmeloanthonyallstarstnotplaying202223nbaseason.jpg_1028332792_cc7304d2.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Carmelo Anthony – Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Despite <strong>Carmelo Anthony</strong> had a pretty decent season, the Los Angeles Lakers decided not to offer him a new contract. As a <strong>38-year-old,</strong> Carmelo didn’t have any offers during the summer. That’s why the <strong>10-time All-Star</strong>will have to wait until it comes, otherwise he could be force to retire.</p>
<h3>2. Dwight Howard</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221010_BUS_202426_dwighthowardallstarstnotplaying202223nbaseason.jpg_1028332792_631c9fe0.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Dwight Howard – Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong>backup center <strong>Dwight Howard</strong> had to step up last season due to Anthony Davis’ injury. He didn’t made bad performance, but it wasn’t enought to offer him another contract, despite his salary. As a 36-year-old and <strong>8-time All-Star</strong>, <strong>Howard</strong> could be in his final years of activity, but he still has to wait for an offer from any team to continue to play.</p>
<h3>3. LaMarcus Aldridge</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221010_BUS_202426_lamarcusaldridgeallstarstnotplaying202223nbaseason.jpg_1028332792_89021795.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    LaMarcus Aldridge – Al Bello/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>After a bad season in <strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong>, <strong>LaMarcus Aldridge</strong> didn’t get any chances to prove himself. The <strong>7-time All-Star </strong>center played <strong>47 games</strong> throughout last season, but he didn’t made an impact as expected. Now, without any NBA offers, its uncertain what is going to be his next step.</p>
<h3>4. Kemba Walker</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:600,h:335" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221010_BUS_202426_kembawalkerallstarstnotplaying202223nbaseason.jpg_1028332792_90304305.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Kemba Walker – Sarah Stier/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>7-time All-Star Kemba Walker</strong> has been down the road throughout his <strong>11-year NBA career.</strong> Boucing back and forth in between <strong>NBA franchises</strong> in the last three seasons without any major role, despite he has the talent and the skills needed. Now, he will have to wait until a good offer comes if he wants to continue for another year in the NBA.</p>
<h3>5. DeMarcus Cousins</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:600,h:335" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221010_BUS_202426_demarcuscousinsallstarstnotplaying202223nbaseason.jpg_1028332792_7ad75115.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    DeMarcus Cousins – Matthew Stockman/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>4-time All-Star DeMarcus Cousins</strong> has bounced between four different NBA franchises just in the last three seasons. With just <strong>48 games</strong> played in the last season, the <strong>32-year-old</strong> hasn’t found any offer yet to play in the next season. Although, there’s no need to prove anything, the time is running out for him.</p>
<h3>6. Michael Carter-Williams</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221010_BUS_202426_michaelcarter-williamsallstarstnotplaying202223nbaseason.jpg_1028332792_763e649b.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Michael Carter-Williams – Michael Reaves/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The bonus track for this list is <strong>Michael Carter-Williams</strong>, who isn’t an All-Star, but he was the <strong>2014 Rookie Of Year award winner</strong>. Already 8 years ago, a good prospect for the league, that eventually has beenwith six different NBA franchises, but hasn’t fullfilled the expectations. As a 30-year-old, <strong>Carter-Williams </strong>won’t be part of the <strong>2022-23 NBA Season</strong>.<span></span></p>

It takes way more than just talent, as you need to put in the work, <strong>stay healthy,</strong> and be lucky enough to be on a system that fits your style. So, don’t even get me started on<strong> being a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-trade-rumors-lakers-could-swap-russell-westbook-with-an-all-star-20220802-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perennial All-Star.</a></strong></p>
<p>But all sports are a ruthless business, and <strong>basketball isn’t the exception</strong> to that rule. You can be on top of the world one day, then barely see the hardwood next season. Being a former star doesn’t grant you anything.</p>
<p>That’s why some players who were once considered franchise cornerstones may not even be on a team’s roster by the start of next season. Here, we’ll talk about <strong>three <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-former-all-star-explains-why-steph-curry-will-never-be-the-goat-20220905-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former All-Stars</a> who could be forced to retire now.</strong></p>
<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Former All-Stars That Could Retire Now</h2>
<h3>3. LaMarcus Aldridge</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220915_BUS_200317_lamarcus_aldridge.jpg_22993414_2e952c8d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    LaMarcus Aldridge – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>LaMarcus Aldridge</strong> was the leading scorer in the <strong>Portland Trail Blazers </strong>and<strong> San Antonio Spurs,</strong> but he could never reach the NBA Finals. He joined the <strong>Brooklyn Nets </strong>and was forced to retire with a heart condition, and now could be out of the league for good.</p>
<p>Aldridge outplayed <strong>Blake Griffin </strong>and took away his minutes with the Nets, but he’s still unsigned even though they need more depth and size at the four and the five. He’s 37 years old already, so he’s unlikely to be signed.</p>
<h3>2. DeMarcus Cousins</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220915_BUS_200317_demarcus_cousins.jpg_22993414_9ef75e99.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    DeMarcus Cousins- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>There was a point where<strong> DeMarcus Cousins </strong>was the most dominant big man in the league, and it wasn’t even close. The saddest part is that it wasn’t that long ago, and he would still be a force if it wasn’t for injuries.</p>
<p>Cousins is also one of the unluckiest players in recent memory. He joined contenders trying to win a ring with a lesser role, yet neither of his teams was able to go the distance. Today, he’s still not signed and <strong>may not find a new home.</strong></p>
<h3>1. Blake Griffin</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220915_BUS_200317_blake_griffin_x1x.jpg_22993414_72036213.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Blake Griffin- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Blake Griffin</strong> was the franchise cornerstone for the <strong>Los Angeles Clippers</strong>, but everything went south for him as soon as he was traded to the <strong>Detroit Pistons. </strong>Constant injuries and a lack of motivation took a toll on his career.</p>
<p>Griffin is no longer the high-hopping dunk machine he used to be. He’s lost that quickness and is not much of a factor on the defensive end of the floor. So, the<strong> former first-overall pick </strong>could be out of the league at age 33.</p>

<p>The <strong>Brooklyn Nets </strong>had a rocky offseason, to say the least. But owner <strong>Joe Tsai </strong>didn’t flinch, and they managed to keep both<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-kevin-durant-trade-value-was-way-lower-than-expected-20220825-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Durant</a> </strong>and<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/stephen-a-smith-explains-why-no-one-wants-to-pay-kyrie-irving-20220826-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyrie Irving</a></strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/stephen-a-smith-explains-why-no-one-wants-to-pay-kyrie-irving-20220826-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>on the team. Add<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-ben-simmons-to-make-big-sacrifice-for-nets-this-season-20220824-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Simmons’</a></strong> return to that mix, and they are once again the team to beat on paper.</p>
<p>But the Nets proved to be a flawed team under <strong>Steve Nash’s </strong>tutelage, and plenty of that had to do with how their roster was built. They have elite shooters in <strong>Joe Harris</strong> and <strong>Seth Curry, </strong>but rebounding and playmaking are lacking.</p>
<p>Needless to say, <strong>most of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-collin-sexton-and-the-best-available-free-agents-20220715-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">star free agents</a></strong> are already signed, but there are still some very productive role players out there. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the three players they should target to fill their promising roster.</p>
<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Potential Targets For The Brooklyn Nets</h2>
<h3>3. Michael Carter-Williams</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220830_BUS_198843_michael_carter-williams.jpg_22993414_c5e113e8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Michael Carter-Williams – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Michael Carter-Williams’ </strong>career never took off the way we expected, and injuries have kept him from being a consistent contributor. However, he can still provide some solid playmaking and versatile defense when healthy.</p>
<p>The Nets could use a better passer than <strong>Patty Mills </strong>as their backup point guard, especially if Ben Simmons spendstime at the five as expected. MCW would be a low-risk/high-reward pickup that could guard multiple positions and provide some size to their backcourt.</p>
<h3>2. Carmelo Anthony</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220830_BUS_198843_carmelo_anthony_x1x.jpg_22993414_0c124cd7.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Carmelo Anthony- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Carmelo Anthony’s </strong>résumé speaks for itself. He’s one of the greatest scorers of all timeand a bonafide bucket getter who’s still making a fool out of defenders despite his age. Also, we know he deserves a shot at a ring before retiring.</p>
<p>Anthony was never a good or willing defender, and that won’t change at this point in his career. But he’s an eager rebounderand could provide an <strong>instant source of offense </strong>off the bench in limited minutes.</p>
<h3>1. DeMarcus Cousins</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220830_BUS_198843_demarcus_cousins.jpg_22993414_54acc1b5.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    DeMarcus Cousins- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>DeMarcus Cousins </strong>is a shell of the All-Star, dominant big man he used to be. Injuries derailed his career when he was at his peak, and he’s not ever going back to that level. However, he can still be a big contributor to a winning team.</p>
<p>Cousins would be an upgrade over<strong>Blake Griffin </strong>and <strong>LaMarcus Aldridge</strong>, both offensively and defensively. Moreover, they would only need him in a limited role, similar to what<strong> Dwight Howard</strong> gave the Lakers in their championship run.</p>

<p>The Lakers also extended <strong>LeBron James’ </strong>contract and hope to have <strong>Anthony Davis</strong> running and gunning by the first day of the season. Other than that, their salary cap limitations have kept them from making a big splash.</p>
<p>But they could still find serviceable veterans if they dig deep into the free agency market. Convincing them to take a pay cut could be tricky, which is why they should look to bring in familiar faces.

<p><strong>Montrezl Harrell </strong>didn’t leave the team on the best terms, but that seems to be a common trend with him. He’s an emotional person, but that fire could be what the Lakers need in the second unit. Also, there will be a new coach, which could also mean more minutes.</p>
<p>Harrell has Sixth Man of the Year potential. He’s a nightly double-double threat that can thrive on the offensive glass and provide <strong>some offense off the bench.</strong> They were outhustled in the paint last season, so the need is obvious.</p>
<h3>2. DeMarcus Cousins</h3>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>DeMarcus Cousins</strong> thrived during his brief days with the Lakers. He couldn’t play due to injurybut he established a great rapport with the team and the organization, so they might as well give him another chance right now.</p>
<p>They don’t need All-Star Boogie; they just need a serviceable backup big who can give them 15+ minutes a night. Cousins could serve in a similar capacity to<strong> Dwight Howard</strong> during their championship run in 2020.</p>
<h3>1. Dennis Schroder</h3>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Dennis Schroder </strong>fumbled the bag in his first stint with the Lakers, but money doesn’t seem to be a priority of his right now. He even reached out to LeBron on social media to show his willingness to run it back in the purple and gold.</p>
<p><strong>Kendrick Nunn’s </strong>health will be a concern, and even if they keep Westbrook or trade for Kyrie, they still need a scoring punch off the bench. Schroder is one of the best backup PGs in the league, and he seems willing to take less money for a shot at contention.</p>
