No NBA season...which players are done?
If the NBA do not go a head this year due to a work stoppage which players do you think will be done. A few years ago a NHL hockey stoppage ended a few careers of older guys. The complete season was lost and they never returned. I wonder which NBA players would be done if this happened. Guys like Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, JKidd, KG etc...

RE: No NBA season...which players are done?
From what I read over at NBA.com yesterday, it's possible there might be a season after all as the talks are looking good. Apparently, both parties are looking to meet again today and - hopefully tomorrow also. so finger's crossed.....
Collect Patrick Ewing, Jalen Rose, Kevin Garnett, LaMarcus Aldridge, Jeff Green
if you have less than 25 trades, I will ask you to send first.

Hopefully they get a deal done soon. I hated the 50 game season, but I guess it would be better than no season.
Looking for all types of rookie cards. Only trade with a d/c #. If you have less than 25 trades you must ship first. Thanks.

RE: No NBA season...which players are done?
I don't really think we have all that many old players that are contributors. There are a few like Juwan Howard and Joe Smith that could retire at any moment and even though they do a good job for 5 minutes a game, they would not be missed. Tmac and VC can still give you 20, but they are far from being what they used to be. I don't think KG is going anywhere for at least 3 years. Duncan may be on his way out in 1-2 yrs especially if the spurs can't compete for another title.
I don't think a lockout will cause a great loss of talent from any NBA rosters.

That is funny!
IDK guys.. who thinks grant hill has more then 1 more season? He did do surprisingly well last year. Antonio Mcdyess? Steve Nash is slowing down quickly I think. I do believe joe smith is done, but god he has been there like 20 years lol
Personal Collections are as follows :
1) Knicks (anyone who has worn the jersey at one time or another and made a significant impact on the team.)
2) Latrell sprewell
3) Amare Stoudemire
4) Carmelo Anthony
5) Steve Nash
6) Chauncey Billups

Sitting out a full year for an older player is much harder then the young guys. Plus most of the young guys will likely go play overseas. Older players would have a harder time getting going again after a full year out.

Grant Hill will be fine. He keeps himself in amazing shape. I watched an ESPN special on him and everything he has gone through with injuries and what he does now. I give him 3 more years unless he gets injured or decides he's had enough.
Jason Kidd could go a couple more years and he has been in the league longer than McDyess and Joe Smith who both came into the league the same year as Garnett.
