Is there still a chance? A veteran of 36 years old who has not won the championship yet, and only 5 are left in active service

There must be some time in your destiny, but don’t force it if you don’t have any time in your destiny. In the NBA league, some people have good luck in championships, but their wealth is bad, and some people have good luck in finances, but their championships are bad, just like the following five.
The first place, Paul
40 years old, his career has 20 years, and he has won 0 championships. Many veterans who have no championships will win the championship at the end of their careers. Old Paul is different. It doesn't matter if he can win the championship. Many people criticized Paul for not wasting a year in vain for the sake of high salaries last season. In fact, everyone is wrong.
Now old Paul cares more about whether he can continue to shine on the court. High salary means that the team values you. Old Paul wants this, and the championship teams over the years are different every year. Paul doesn’t want to play with the champion. Paul is free this summer, and he still has the same principle. He goes wherever he gives the opportunity to play, regardless of whether he wins the championship or not.
second place, Harden
36 years old, his career has been 16 years, and his championship was 0. When he was young, he always felt that his days were still long. This year was not enough, but he lived a life, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that there were really not many days. In order to win a championship, Harden also sacrificed his own salary and received tens of millions less, from the eldest to the second, and then to the third.
There are really few people in the league who can do this. As a result, it is worse than that of one year. When they entered the finals in the Thunder, they didn't expect that it was already the ceiling of Harden's playoffs. Harden, who came to the Clippers, finally thought about it and got a big contract first. As for the championship, just work hard.
third place, Butler
36 years old, with 14 years of career, 0 championships, and is also a league weirdo. He doesn't care about all the honors of the All-Stars, and he doesn't care about whether he is old or not. He doesn't care about playing in the regular season, and he will make his strength in the playoffs again.
From the Bulls to the Timberwolves, to the 76ers and the Heat, to the Warriors today, Butler has also seen ups and downs, and it doesn't matter to Butler whether he can realize his dream of winning the championship with the Warriors. Looking at the current situation of the Warriors, they have no idea of trying to win the championship.
fourth place, Conley
38 years old, with 18 years of career, 0 champion
Timberwolves entered the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. Conley is just a little bit away from the finals. Huazi also lamented that he still has opportunities in the future, but Conley doesn't have many opportunities. He really wants to help Conley win a championship, but his strength doesn't allow it.
There is really not much time left for Old Conley. He averaged 11 points last season, averaged 8 points per game this season, and averaged 6 points per game in the playoffs. His condition has declined sharply. The contract will expire next summer, and the Timberwolves are also looking for Conley spare tires everywhere. So, next season may be Conley's last season.
fifth place, Westbrook
37 years old, with 17 years of career, 0 championships, no longer the superstar level, but traffic is still the superstar level. This is Westbrook, wherever he goes, he is the focus of everyone's attention, and he is at the C position at any time.
Westbrook during the Rockets period was actually on the decline. From the Wizards to the Lakers, to the Clippers and then to the Nuggets, Westbrook has been full of sadness and controversy along the way. Those who like Westbrook think that Westbrook still has oil, and those who don’t like Westbrook think that Westbrook has no oil for a long time, and now it’s just a waste of his parents’ capital.
Of course, this is Westbrook, there is no controversy, is that still Westbrook? Refusing to execute the player option, Westbrook became a free agent again. I don’t know where to go next stop, but what I know is that no matter where I go, there is no shortage of traffic, and it is a controversial existence.
Fans, should Westbrook stay in the Nuggets? Where will Westbrook's next stop be? Which team is Paul most likely to go to? Is Harden still possible to win the championship? Can Butler win a championship with the Warriors?
