    they would still be awful with EG and Wood…neither one is a difference maker for a bad team

    u get rid of Love’s 2 remaining years to take on the final 2 years of EG and Wood’s contract, and you’ll still suck, but u decided to drop 20 spots in the draft to do so

    I guess social media forgot. Melo was on that 2004 team.

    Kevin Love is there to re-up his value and get recruited. If he doesn't show up, might give the opposite effect.

    Missing Booker, Middleton, Holiday..... I mean that could help lol

    I'm pretty sure Garland, Jenkins, and some of those other guys were throw ins bc injuries and the NBA schedule overlapping

    Nope sorry, 3 of the top 4 players in the nba finals that are American are D team players as well. Try again.

    Much better showing today. They attacked more and it opened up more 3s. Granted Argentina’s front court is pretty mediocre but still great performance after that Australia game

    This is the first time the USA lost two games in a row and people start to blame lack of talent? Really? These are NBA all star players.

    How many of the Nigerian and Australian players can be considered a star player in the NBA? Mills? Ingles? Thybulle? Okafor? Achiuwa?

    Crazy to see Scola at 41 still being productive and scoring against Durant, Lillard, etc.

    Aussies destroyed Nigeria today without Mills, Ingles, Delly and Baynes. Josh Giddey got some burn - he's an intruiging NBA prospect for sure.

    Chris Goulding a perfect 7 for 7 from 3 - he's an automatic bucket, I've never understood how he's not gotten anything more than an NBL contract in his career.

    Jock Landale and Nick Kay should probably get an NBA look as well.

    Are you suggesting this squad should be losing games to Nigeria? Are you suggesting this squad, even without Booker, Middleton, or Holiday who are trash D players in your opinion, won't or can't win gold?

    Our Z talent is still lightyears better than any other nation can put out there.

    That was pure sarcasm sir. In response to reeko’s ridiculous statements on here. I presumed you had read the comments.

    41 year old Luis Scola is the leading scorer for his team today.

    If there was no defense needed, Scola would be awesome.
