No way Harden doesn't start bro. He's going to be the focal point of the offense IMO

I don't think Harden will be the focal point but we will see. There might not really be a go-to guy now
What makes you say that. I think he's the next one to be cut

DMC I get, but why Plumlee over Dre?
Pure athleticism is my only guess.

They're pretty close athletically IMO. Plumlee's offensive game is a bit more polished I think, and Dre's free throw shooting is

Did ya see Drummond play in that game? Dude was horrendous. Straight up airballed like everything he put up and played out of control. I'm sure that was pretty close to how he's been in practice as well.

I've heard next to nothing positive about Drummond during the mini camp, unfortunately
Plumlee's game isn't more polished, it just fits a bit better in the vast scope of the team composition. Plumlee is a beta and willing to defer. Cousins, on the other hand, not so much.
With Durant out now as well...... Team USA could actually use a little bit of Cousins..... (the thought of this squad needing to count on Boogie, excites me and frightens me
)

So Dre's raw and unprepared for the international stage. I'm okay with that response, just wanted a clear reason.I've heard next to nothing positive about Drummond during the mini camp, unfortunately |I

I'm definitely not looking forward to seeing Faried & Plumlee play defense against the Gasol bros.
at this point, you guys are right. Gotta play AD @ the 4 again. Wonder if he starts shooting alot more of if they run some other system.
Rose ... Kyrie
Steph ... Lillard
Harden ... Thompson ... (DeRozan/Heyward)
Davis ... Parsons ... (Faried/Plumlee)
Cousins ... Drummond

If Lebron dropped out of the FIBA Cup, would the media slander him?

under lebron's circumstances, no. 4 finals is a good enough reason to withdraw.

If Gay gets added to the squad........ 
I'm gonna have a tough decision between a Gay or Cousins jersey, I think I would lean towards Gay

Yea he played stretch 4 for them. Which is why i figured he would definitely get looked at when KD left. And it happened!Rudy already played for USA b4 right ? ...but hope he gets buckets

Rudy definitely makes sense for them. He played well the last time he suited up for Team USA.

I guess that's the difference between the NBA play and FIBA play.
