8. Udonis Haslem

The Miami Heat Lifer, Mr. 305. Haslem’s playing role has greatly diminished in the waning years. The power forward has barely seen the floor since the departure of LeBron James in July of 2014 and it doesn’t seem like that trend will change anytime soon.

Haslem averaged just 1.5 points per game during the 2015-16 season, and only saw minutes due to injuries in the frontcourt.

With all that aside, Udonis is a staple in the Heat locker room and beloved by the fan base and local media members. It’s very difficult to imagine him elsewhere.

Prediction: Haslem re-signs with the Heat on a friendly deal for both sides.
