I doubt Davis wants to go if he doesn’t start, so Embiid and Bam might be the big rotation. But Embiid, Durant, Lebron, Curry and Fox might be the starting unit.

[TylersLakers]

I think the bigger question is who's on the team:

Here's what I think it'll be.

- LeBron
- Durant
- Curry
- Embiid
- Tatum
- Booker
- Bridges
- AD
- Anthony Edwards
- Chris Paul
- Tyrese Haliburton
- Adebayo

That wouldn't be my roster. First: If you've participated in as many Olympics as LeBron and Durant have, you shouldn't be allowed to be on the team unless you're the last guy on the team. If I was selecting the team, here's what I'd want:

- Curry
- Embiid
- AD
- Tatum
- Haliburton
- Edwards
- Adebayo
- Bridges
- Booker
- Derrick White
- Alex Caruso
- Austin Reaves

I think you have to reward some of last year's team - even though they lost to start building for the future. Reaves, Bridges, Edwards, Haliburton.

I want some guys who can shoot: Haliburton, Curry, Booker
I want some dominant wings: Tatum, Edwards
I want some bigs: Embiid, AD, Adebayo
I want some ball handlers: Curry, Haliburton, Reaves.
I want some perimeter D: Caruso, White, Bridges
I want some defensive bigs: AD, Adebayo.
Automatic No's Based on fit/previous performance/weirdos: Ingram, Kyrie (weirdo), Jaren, Trae, Kawhi, Harden, Brunson etc.

Make LeBron, KD, Chris Paul some guys who travel on the team plane, stay in the locker room with them and sit front row at the games.

Also - Go Canada.
