<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-when-is-the-opening-night-for-the-2022-23-season-20220925-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>2022-2023 NBA Season</strong></a> is a new opportunity for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-luka-doncic-ja-morant-and-the-25-and-younger-players-to-shine-in-the-2022-23-season-20220809-0037.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>young and fresh players</strong></a> to establish themselves in a new league. 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_9b5b9437.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_a1615fd6.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_f37b0267.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_6acc2074.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_9f0a0899.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_b25a26d0.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>

NBA: Kemba Walker and former All-Stars forced to stop playing ahead of the 2022-23 Season

NBA: Kemba Walker and former All-Stars forced to stop playing ahead of the 2022-23 Season - Bolavip US

<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_5bfd53e4.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_6c11723a.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_602ea5ed.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>
