Can't see Durant doing it with free agency in the works, and his injury history.

Agreed. I think that Towns or Okafor will be apart of this team also. Maybe. But also maybe gordon hayward and jimmy butler as well. Ill also throw in Paul George for the sake of it, hes reslly bouncing back well. Rose shudnt be on it although his game suits the international stage well

Towns doesn't play for team USA. Okafor might make it though, he should at least be invited to tryout.

You're right, i just read in the other thread that he played on the international team aka he plays for Dominican Republic? I forgot to add Drummond tho, he shud make it.

While Drummond is a good player I don't think his game will translate well to international play

Maybe now after a title and an MVP run, Curry will finally be able to play point guard for team USA.

Kobe, Melo and LeBron might be along for the ride.

Didn't even Duncan struggle with international play? and he's more of a skill player than Drummond.

I think finesse big men like Bosh do better in international play.

Porzingis on the US olympic team?

I would leave Cousins home for chemistry reasons. Draymond Green would be more valuable as the backup center. He shoots, defends, and passes at a high level, and has no problem with doing the dirty work.

Please for the love of country ..ban Harden from team USA

Did you forget that Cousins was on Team USA last year? He had nothing but raving reviews by his teammates and coaching staff. There was ZERO issues with him.

Understand the hate, but let's not blind ourselves with the hatred. He is still an elite player at this position and too good of a player to leave at home. Coach K and Thibs both think highly of him. He gives effort in D while playing for national team. He had a very efficient FIBA tournament in 2014 and he deserves a chance. Actually for the love of the game, I hope the national team brings the best out of him.

Same goes to Cousins. People like to go 'ah it's boogie leave him at home he is nuts'. No, watch his performance and his chemistry with his teammates last year in FIBA.
