Like a tattered mat at the foot of a doorstep, all welcomes are eventually worn out.
The same concept applies to NBA players. Once fresh, sparkling, and ready to make a difference to the franchise that has graciously called upon their duties, these same individuals eventually become old, frayed, and virtually useless.

There are certain cases however, where these players are held onto, and thus assume the role of dead weight.
This list will chronicle 10 NBA players whose releases are long overdue. Most of these guys have been with their respective squads for quite sometime.
