Oh we can definitely lose in 28 at the crib. Not Steph KD or Bron. All 3 played integral parts in the games we just barely won. Plus no jrue. Likely not embiid. Possibly no AD.

Who Gon be the man? The OG that gets everybody's head right? Tatum?

 

[headdetective]

I’d be surprised if Tatum comes back

Booker gon be big dawg and that’s scary

Players got on a different caricature tee than the one releasing.

So the guy on IG that makes food requests from his fire escape made the tees the players were wearing.

Bam
Book
Ant
AD maybe depending on health
Hali
Tatum if Kerr aint the coach

Then you have what, Banchero, Brunson, maybe Ja. Team def isnt gonna be as good.

Cooper Flag should be on year 2-3?

So I guess folks don’t see them winning the next FIBA?

Flagg seems like he would be more of a 2032 guy unless he really hits the ground running his rookie year.

 

[elpablo21]

Four years is alot of time for these players to see whether the gap remains or it tightens against the world

but it was just funny bball breakdown tried to get a hot tweet off and immediately back tracked lmao

 

[rolaholic]

They need to send him to LA for 3x3 in 4 years

 

[B Sox]

Flagg would prob be last guy on bench if he makes it.

Bamonte, Paolo, Chet, Mobley getting bulk of the PF/C minutes.

Hi. I'm REALLY not ready to start thinking about real happenings in the 2030s yet.

Thank you for your consideration.

Spoiler

47.5 percent serious

 

[RustyShackleford]

I am not worried about 2028

 

[headdetective]

I’m happy to see Beasley hoopin but that walk off was crazy lol

 

[B Sox]

AJ might be the young guy better than Flagg at that point too.

Team USA will be fine in 2028. I heard similar things after 08 and beating Spain and here we are. They just have to get an identity and stick to it and build around it. Grant Hill isn’t the guy for the job because he went back to the same nonsense that stopped working. That World Cup team had enough to win but they just lacked size. The key will be the next World Cup team. If you have lower tier guys play well that will help fill out the roster for 28. Being on home soil will get guys participating.

 

[JMB10215]

Y’all do realize we lost last year in the World Cup right? We NEED replacements for Lebron, KD, and Steph

 

[JMB10215]

And ima be honest KD carried us in 2021 if you remember the games. Without him we looked beatable imo
