    Paul George? After that nasty break that almost ended his career? Really? Dude must love his country so much.

    Irving - Lowry
    Thompson - Butler - DeRozan
    Durant - George - Barnes
    Anthony - Green
    Cousins - Jordan

    Missing guys like LBJ, Curry, Harden, WB, and Davis...still a solid squad.

    Silly statement. If he was that afraid, post-injury, he wouldn't play professional basketball anymore, much less play in the Olympics.

    I thought Durant was sitting this one out? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

    Why don't they include college kids, or newly drafted brehs?

    Would love to see Jerry Lin included for the entertainment.

    I know this board is still on the Lin is trash wagon - but he's more than solidified himself as a valuable NBA talent.

    Jeremy Lin would likely make most Intl. teams other than USA.

    Most international teams other than the USA are very trash-intensive.

    Fair point.

    I just find it interesting that so many on this board still think Lin is trash. Dude is getting ~13 M/yr this off-season for a reason.

    He would, objectively, be an upgrade for this Rockets team, but this board is more concerned about his fans than improving the roster @ a position of need.

    Petty.

    I think Sam Dekker could make most other countries' basketball teams. I wish there was more parity in world basketball.
