Howard plays well, but why does he have to face a situation where there is no ball to play?

The first center in the league, who averaged 12.8 points and 9.4 rebounds in the Wizards last season, was traded to the Grizzlies by the Wizards and was laid off. So far no one cares. I think there are several reasons:

First: the attack and defense inefficiency caused by injuries. Howard only played 10 games last season. Although Howard signed a 1 1 million dollar contract with the Wizards last season, Howard only played nine games for the Wizards because of a hip injury. Howard is useless in the Wizards, and the Wizards didn't make the playoffs last season. Many teams are worried that they will still get a glass man after recruiting Howard, and they will not play many games in the season, and they will have to spend money to support Howard.

Injury led to confrontation, and low-post defense could not reach the level before injury, so Howard's dominance on the court gradually declined. You know, Howard has always been a player who lives by his body. However, under the current tactical system and team positioning, he will not be given so many singles opportunities.

Howard, who has no shooting ability, will be more and more tight on the offensive end, which is also the disadvantage that he does not have the middle-range hitting ability like Garnett, Duncan and Nowitzki.

Second: the style of play is no longer suitable for the needs of the league, and now the style of the league has changed. Team tactics and ball operation are based on speed. Howard has too much control of the ball.

For example, Jordan Jr. is a typical center who eats cakes without the ball. Although he is over 30 years old, Jordan's inside defense ability is still not weak, and Jordan's free throw percentage has also improved, reaching 70.5% last season. At the same time, Jordan Jr. has no possession of the ball and is very mobile, which is very easy to use in today's small ball era.

Howard has never played without the ball before. It was after he left the Rockets that he learned to play without the ball. Howard's off-the-ball ability is poor in both the Hawks and the Hornets. Howard was the center of the last era, and his playing style was out of fashion in the era of small ball.

Third: Howard's age, personality and off-site factors.

Howard is old this year, and will soon be at the age when the player's status will decline. At first, Paul and James were at a loss. Many teams signed Howard for fear that he wouldn't even get two pairs per game.

And Howard has been flattering happy basketball practice, offending wherever he goes. The Lakers clashed with Kobe Bryant, the Rockets clashed with Harden. These years, from Magic to Lakers, to Rockets, to Eagles, to Hornets, to Nets. Why did every team leave him in the end?

If a person is unpopular in one place, it may be a problem for both sides. But a person is unpopular in so many places, can you blame others? Therefore, it is not groundless for some people to call Howard a locker room cancer. Otherwise, the Hornets and Nets will not get rid of him at all costs.

Howard keeps changing girlfriends, and I don't know how many illegitimate children there are When there were as many as eight illegitimate children circulating on the Internet, Howard responded that he only had five children. But these children are half-brothers, which is enough to show Howard's emotional overflow. Which team won't worry about such a problem?

Some netizens will ask why the Warriors and Clippers don't want him. How much insider level can you strengthen to win the championship again?

In fact, the reason is also obvious. First of all, the Clippers have signed Jordan Jr. as the inside assistant of Durant and Owen this year. There are overlapping salary-limited positions, so it is impossible to sign Howard again. Secondly, the Warriors' small lineup is also the endorsement of the league's small ball era. Known for its quick action. Howard's current mobility will definitely slow him down. So the Warriors won't sign him. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is mainly Howard's character of not uniting the team that makes him live here. Finally, I hope he can lower himself into the new team this year and play his due value again!
