Which players over the age of 33 will retire ringless?

The current list is

Chris Paul 39

Mike Conley 36

Russell Westbrook 35

James Harden 34

Jimmy Butler 34

Paul George 34

Demar Derozan 34

Damian Lillard 33

These guys are on the brink of retirement. They won’t have much time to compete for a championship. Which ones do you think will be able to win one and which ones will retire ringless?

All likelihood, all of them.

I think Dame and Jimmy (depending on where he ends up) have a decent shot. Even Paul George. Things change fast in the nba.

Pelicans

define decent shot? thinking about where you'd need to set the over/under for total rings for this group, the under is a no-brainer at 1.5 imho. 0.5, I'm thinking long and hard about it. shameless ring chasing at the very end would be my only concern.

strillanitis

There is no way James Harden does not shamelessly ring chase, he’s basically already been doing that since 2021

e_a_blair

Pelicans

yeah but what are the odds he's good at it? haven't had a repeat champ in a while, odds are he picks the wrong dusty ass team lol.

Celtics

Unless one signs with the Celtics in the next few years, they are going ringless.

West is gunna keep getting better, Boston is a great team but we saw their uncanny ability to play down to their competition and blow leads all year. I don’t think it’s all all unreasonable to think next year they meet a better team in the finals and fall. Their coming out the east for the foreseeable future however.

They had the best record in the NBA and won the finals in what should have been a sweep. Smh

Clippers

The vast majority of them, if not all.

I’d say Conley has the best shot, not because of the Twolves but because he seems most self aware of a vet role and could see him as a mentorship backup for some years

Lakers

This really is the most realistic scenario in my mind, and I hope it happens. Always seemed like such a good dude.

Celtics

Better question. Of these players who is the most likely to win a ring?

I’ll say Mike Conley

Yinanization

Grizzlies

My captain

Rakatok

Bulls

Dame or PG if he goes to Philly I could see getting one if they have a good year and Celtics have an injury.

Russ seems like the kind of guy to ring chase on a minimum could see him on the end of a Boston or Denver bench

No way Boston or Denver signs Westbrook

I am about to be very wrong about this

They can all play the Luke Kornet role on the Celtics and get a chip if they’re interested

Flipping the Q. Who wins a title?

I think Conley gets 1 in the next few years. I could see him mentoring Dilingham.

PG could win one with Philly if he goes there. Frankly, I think CP should take a vet minimum deal with Philly. He could win one there.

If Dame plays better and Milwaukee gets the right pieces, they could win 1 eventually.

The other guys won’t win one.

Honestly? Might be all of them

all of them

Nets

All of them Barkley

It’s hard to say since trades haven’t been made involving them yet, I’d say mike Conley and dame tho have a decent chance. MN beat the defending champs, and dame still has Giannis
