How many old people with no ball to play in an offseason?
Sneaking to ask, do you remember the man nicknamed "Strong in Life"?
Last season, Dion Wittes averaged 12 points per game, and no team was willing to give him a salary this offseason.
What is the reason for this situation? Is it because of age?
No, never. Dion Wittes, who was born at the end of 1991, is only 29 years old this year, at the peak of his career.
Because of injuries?
This is not the case, so far in his career, Vitesse has hardly suffered any major injuries that have affected his career.
Then there is only one reason left – the inexperiencing off-the-field wrecking.
Wittes' off-court style problems have accompanied him almost throughout his career.
During the Knighthood period, he threatened the management with "Owen and I, you can only keep one",
During the heat period, he was viciously absent from work, repeatedly taught and did not change, openly returned to Sibo at the training camp, and disobeyed discipline.
Eating banned candy on the team plane, the dose was so large that he fainted on the spot, and even pretended to take sick leave for the uniform group, and then posted personal travel photos on social platforms.
Riots were common, and the Heat management finally got overwhelmed and sent him off the team.
And his next home was the overall champion Lakers that year.
If you want to compete for the championship, you have to recruit talent from all sides, even if this talent has been abandoned by other teams.
The Lakers reached out to help, and Wittes rushed into the house, but unfortunately, his role was not as obvious as imagined.
In 7 regular season games, he averaged 12 points per game and shot 42.5 percent from the field, which is already good compared to himself.
However, in the playoffs 5 games, he can only shoot two shots during garbage time, and this is only two points per game, shooting 33% of the shots.
With his talent, he could have shined in the playoffs, played better, and won a contract for his future.
However, he spent the entire playoffs on the cold bench, and after the contract ended, there was no more follow-up.
Hearing from him again, it was Already In December last year, he announced in a live broadcast that he was considering retiring, a topic that kept Vites hot for a while, and during this time, he has also been actively training, hoping to get a contract.
Unfortunately, no manager is willing to risk destroying the team's chemistry to sign the nerve knife.
Time went on until today, eight months later.
Recently, a training video about Vitesse once again appeared in everyone's vision, and the player who had said that he was going to retire was still preparing for his comeback.
In the training camp, he can shoot suddenly, but these managers have long been tired of, whether it is Thomas's 81 points or the Green Army guy's 90+, they have refreshed the threshold of managers again and again.
Want to get a contract with a few shots? Maybe it's a little easier to think about.
In this era when the big brothers are unemployed, if you want to earn a contract, you have to show the big guy something different.
Otherwise, he has already spent a year of empty space, I am afraid that he will really retire from the NBA:
