Who does not play on next US Men's Olympic Basketball team

Ill go with LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Anthony, Howard, and Love.
I'm not sure which one of Paul or Williams get invited, but one should.
LeBron and Anthony have been on 3, so won't play.
Howard isn't a great international player, so a new generation of big man is needed.
Wade and Bosh based on age and skill decline.
Love just will be one time guy, IMO.

So overrated. No way does he deserve a spot. Paul and 1 (maybe 2) of Rose/Westbrook/Irving will be on it.
For PG's that is.

Rose..........

Rose isn't going to play again

I think if Colangello is making the team then they take Williams like they did Kidd. I want to say that he like Kidd is unbeaten in international play. The current powers to be of USAB like that from their point guards and one who has played in multiple competitions.

If they impose the 23 year old age limit most of those guys won't.

I think they do it for the 20 games since new cycle of qualifying has started.
If FIBA decides to make it unilateral with age limit then US will dominate like before. They've got to get time in to get nations a chance again.

Just send the Heat and throw in Durant, Love, Chandler, and Irving and that will be enough. No one else has tomgo

I kind of feel like the next team will possible have a lot of John Calipari coached players. He is also my vote to coach that team since I think Coach K is done.

My uninformed guess to the roster is this...
Williams
Irvin
Rose
Durant
Davis
Hardin
Westbrook
Leonard
Cousins
Granger
Noel
Muhammad
Popovich as the HC

I don't think Dwill, Bosh, Howard & Tyson. Because there will be better players.

LeBron will only be 31 in 2016, I think he'll play again.
Posted on 4/28/13 at 3:28 pm to DayBowBow
Rose
Westbrook
Kyrie
Harden
Curry
Durant
George
Love
Davis
That's assuming the 2008 guys are all done obviously. Tough to come up with 3 more right now, definitely need a center- Cousins, Sanders maybe?

Pop is the best choice out there IMO and deserves the job.

Curry almost made the 2012 team. If he is not injured a lock for 2016

Hibbert not good choice for international game IMO. He isn't able to step outside or guard out of paint. That's why I included Noel. Griffin is tough to decide as he rebounds but so can a bunch others and the trapezoid makes him somewhat of good choice as he can move decently.
Again all of this is my uninformed opinion and guesses.
