Westbrook out
Curry out
Aldridge out
Davis out

So who now becomes the starters?

Will LBJ opt out also? Will this be like 04 when everyone dropped out citing fake injuries or concerns?


Edited it as you answered

really looking like it. I bet KD follows after. It's 2004 all over again even though I do think we will still win gold

But I don't about the 5. I need to see the roster. Maybe

Wall
Thompson
Paul George
Melo
Boogie

Let wall run wild with those 4 on am euro court

Shot in dark

Lilliard
DeRozen
Melo
Cousins
Drummond

ETA: really doesn't matter. You could average NBA players and they would still make a run at Gold

Aldridge is out

I'm thinking it will be
Wall
Thompson
George
Anthony
Jordan


That is a good team but not the Varsity

I'd have the same starting 5 but with boogie over jordan. I think you just play the matchups with those two

You don't remember 98 or 04 I guess?

The 98 team was my favorite team though.

Green will be a foul machine he's a horrible pick for international play. He'll be like Howard was in Bejing and London, not effective as they wont let him play physical.

Used that team as a reference that you have to play your best team. 98 team was the team that shouldn't have medaled at FIBA but did.

The team you need to worry about is France if they qualify. They will be loaded.

Not their best players will drop out like USA.

It's tough because the best lineups all wouldn't have a big, could start cousins if you need it that game.

Kyrie
Thompson
Durant
Lebron
Anthony/DMC

George, Kawhi, Butler, Lillard, Draymond gives you 11, all those guys are locks at this point imo but there will be more dropping out.

Melo is going? I feel like if LeBron opts out, the rest of the Banana Boat Boys will follow (Paul, Melo, Wade)

No idea, I included everyone that hasn't officially dropped out.

Probably won't get a call up, but I feel like Millsap would be good in international play.
