Even though Howard's physique is totally looking great, I don't believe he is in the shape to play at NBA level. Even at his last season in nba, he was not doing good. Now he is older and played in lesser league. I don't think he can be slightly effective.

Howard averages 23 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 assists per game in the Taiwanese league. Of course, if he could go back to the NBA, his stats would be 2-3 times worse, but that's not the worst thing. The problem is that Howard is still injury prone, and as far as I know, he's often bothered by knee injuries. The way I see it, his age and injury-prone nature could be the deciding factor why NBA teams probably won't offer him a minimum contract this offseason.

That is the problem with Howard now. Not that he cannot play at a high level but his injury is limiting his play time. Even in Taiwan, he is on the bench in some of the games because of injury. He was also not able to carry his team to a significant-finish because of his injury. He no longer deserves a slot on an NBA team. It is better to give that slot to a younger and healthier player.

Well, it's official.
Ja Morant has be suspended for 25 games: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37863825/sources-grizzlies-ja-morant-suspended-25-games-nba

Hopefully, this is enough punishment to teach Morant. He is throwing away his good fortune by trying to be a thug. If he ever gets involved in a gun incident again, I think his sponsors will back away from him. I hope that does not happen before he learns his lesson. And maybe, while he is suspended he needs to go to therapy and maybe he will not do the foolishness he has done again. He is a baller, and we will hate to see something bad happen to him just because of his foolishness.
