According to Jerry Colangelo today on NBA TV. Sounds like they have been given answers already by Lebron, KD, AD, Harden, Mitchell, Conley, Beal and Turner who were all among the 25 listed. That leaves the following 17 as being the group they will decide between for 12 spots unless one of the aforementioned guys changes course.

Bam Adebayo
Jarrett Allen
Devin Booker
Jimmy Butler
Stephen Curry
Demar Derozan
Paul George
Tobias Harris
Kyrie Irving
Zach Lavine
Kawhi Leonard
Damian Lillard
Kyle Lowry
Khris Middleton
Julius Randle
Jayson Tatum
Zion Williamson

He's not a spring chicken at 28 with injury history. I also don't see Kyrie playing for some reason he'll be sure to announce

He’s contractually obligated to promote Ruffles at two different 7-Elevens on July 30.

There's gotta be like a zero chance of Kyrie playing. He will come up with some excuse.

This team may be bending the knee, but not by choice.

Lebron is play but not for USA. His team rhymes with Vagina.

Yea probably something like that

Could mix and match and get AD to start some games but that's probably how the roster would look
