Who is your 10th? Iguodala?

I don't think we need any more than 3 true bigs (Chandler, Love, Bosh). LeBron, Carmelo, and to a lesser degree Durant are all going to play at the 4. If Odom was coming off a good season then I think he would be considered because of his versatility.

I think Westbrook is a lock with Wade out and the last spot goes to either Harden, Davis, Griffin, or maybe EG if he has a great camp.

Yeah, he played in the Worlds and his size is a huge plus as a 2-guard in international play.

Westbrook was already a lock with D Rose's injury. Westbrook was very good on the World Championship team.

I just think a Mike or Brad Miller type is needed on this team. It will be Kobe doing that role, but I would like him to be a scorer.

Paul, WIlliams
Kobe, Harden, Gordon
Durant, Iggy
Lebron, Love
Chandler, Bosh, Davis

I'd play Lebron at the 4. I'd load up on three point shooters for the international game. I'd also load up on bigs because you can move Lebron and Iggy to the 2 or 3.

Edit- Gordon for Griffin... oops

No chandler?!? Who's playing center?


In the international game, you play small with Kevin Love in the post, and run your opposition into the dirt.

Chandler is going to be on the team brah. Solely because they will meet Spain in the title game and they have the brothers Gasol and Ibaka.

The question posed is what do you do if he isn't.

He is, of course-- but that's what the team would do if he got hurt.

Navarro? Both Gasol brothers will start. They won't be nearly as good as 2008. Pau, Calderon, Navarro, and Fernandez were all in their prime back then. I think a few teams (Argentina, Brazil, Greece) can give them a run.
