Haliburton, Edwards, Ingram/Bridges, Jackson Jr, Kessler is a great lineup.

Don't think the Aussie squad is finalised yet, still got an extended squad.

If they're all available, that's pretty solid, imho.

Oshae playing for Canada with what I assume have got to be Scrubb’s relatives. Will play (or at least be in the same pool as) Zinger and Latvia.

This is just another reason, for the NBA to seriously reconsider going back to a December Start.
They had wanted to try that, to move away from NFL conflicts.

Extend the Season; Eliminate Back-to-Backs; Longer Preseason; Move the Summer League, etc, etc.

It’s a good idea, but seems like they only did it for that one season post Covid and haven’t really considered it going forward. What would it do for the season calendar though, especially if back to backs are eliminated too, and now the addition of the in season tournament. Not saying it can’t be done, but I can’t think of any news we’ve heard of it to believe it’s something they are actually worried about. Seems like they want to win over NFL views with means other than moving back the calendar at least.

Wow tough crowd. I guess I can't interest anybody in a dancing bear vs unicorn matchup on August 27th ?
