1. Chris Paul
2. Dwayne Wade
3. Kevin Durant
4. Blake Griffin
5. Kevin Love



Kobe and Lebron come off the bench. Kobe is 2 or 3 sub.
LeBron is 3 or 4 sub.

Blake and Love can rotate to 4 and 5 positions.

2. Why isnt there an age cap on basketball like soccer? Soccer in the Olympics is U-23 with 3 excemptions


Because soccer is going to be popular regardless.

The Olympics need guys like Lebron and Durant to bolster the basketball audience.

We didn't carry two true Centers on the 08 team, we just had Dwight. Just bring Chandler and some PFs.

Nobody is going to play that hasn't before. Chandler, Bosh, Love, Griffin, and maybe Aldridge will be the bigs on the team.

Kobe Bryant is the Jason Kidd of this roster. He will probably retire from international play after this

There was a report out last night (I think by someone from yahoo) that the US team was going to find a place for Love and was trying to find room for Griffin too.

All I've ever been concerned about is making sure we have the guys who can consistently hit 3s and outside jumpers - I hate when we've picked a team ill-suited for the international game - like that horrendous pre-Dream 1988 team where all 5 guys just wanted to drive and dunk.

Great passers and great shooters. Love definitely needs to be on the team.

Damn, forgot about that too. Looks like we'll be going small, LBJ, Melo, and probably Iguodala are going to be playing the 4 a lot.

Yes, he can. He did punch a coach in high school.

What's with bigs being so crazy? Bynum Dwight Cousins are probably all in the top 5 in the league in terms of mental instability.

Cousins was fine once Westphal was fired. He would be a great addition. He's only 21 and could learn a lot playing with those other guys.
