Griffin is out breh. Drummond probably makes it now.

Wall was added I think so the pg battle will be really interesting.

Still a bad arse team.

No Griffin and no Aldridge is bad news.

Love and Davis will have to play 30 minutes per game in the final 3 games, IMO.

Losing Griffin isn't that big of a deal and I think he's a fantastic player. He just doesn't strike me as a good international fit plus they will go small w/ Durant/George at the 4 a good bit.

Seeing Wall added is good. He needs to make it.

My guess:

Guards: Curry, Harden, Beal, Wall

Wings: Durant, George, Thompson, Parsons or DeRozan

Bigs: Love, Davis, Drummond, Cousins

Curry, Thompson, George, Durant, Love ..... and my head is spinning

While I get his decision, this takes our biggest strength (Power forward) and makes it our biggest weakness, as our three best players are all skipping it.

Now, we may need both Cousins and Drummond, which is not an ideal situation at all.

Glad to see Wall got an invite though.

My new team

Irving, Wall, Curry
Harden, Thompson, Beal
Durant, George, Faried
Davis, Drummond, Cousins

Cuts: Lillard, Rose (injury), Parsons, Hayward, Korver, DeRozan

Looking at who I'm cutting (2 point guards and 4 small forwards) shows just how little depth we have up front.

Well Faried is a lock now. Wonder if they will add any young PFs again?

Davis and Cousins are going to log a shite ton of minutes.

I personally would play smaller lineups than these rosters indicate.

I feel like they have to with Spain in mind. They need some bulk to throw at the Gasol's.

Just remembered that Ibaka is going to be playing with Spain as well. Yep we need Boogie and Drummond.

Millsap has been added. I would replace Faried with Millsap immediately.

But yeah, bring Cousins and Drummond as well. I am nervous about Cousins, but with Griffin, Love, and Aldrdige all sitting out, he has to be on the squad.
