The team has some stuff going for it. Just need to make a few key player swaps and add some more seasoning.
May not really need the Tier 1 guys.

I really don't give two ****s about the Medals, but considering this team just took an L to a team that boasted Evan Fournier & Frank Nt....... yea they may need a lil more than just some better role players

If Serbia’s coach would stop messing around we might have a better idea of who they are. Australia France will still be strong next summer
Not having any tier 1 guys is a big ask for a team who will most likely not have played much together

Would also like to see Slovenia get in. They should have a decent squad

None of these players should be back for the Olympics tbh. This was legit the C team. I think Mitchell might be the only guy that actually benefitted from the experience

I mean I agree, but I'm going off the idea that a lot of those guys won't want to play.
Replace Middleton and Barnes with Booker and Beal who can knock down 3s and create off dribble. Replace Derrick White with someone like Fox who can legitimately run an offense and be a scoring threat. Get some bigs that will play hard and don't suck (plenty of young guys out there).

I get what you mean and I agree
I guess I took exception to “we may not need tier 1 guys” in that I think they do need some
But I agree that those guys may not want to play
I still think they’d be vulnerable to those other powerhouses with a better built team without the tier 1 players

Kuz was smart to remove himself from this mess when he had the chance. Don't want the stench of this to ruin his offseason

Getting hands put on him by Blake over a woman is a lot better stench

Yeah, perhaps I should've worded it differently.I get what you mean and I agree
I guess I took exception to “we may not need tier 1 guys” in that I think they do need some
But I agree that those guys may not want to play
I still think they’d be vulnerable to those other powerhouses with a better built team without the tier 1 players
If we aren't playing our Tier 1 guys, we are definitely more vulnerable against teams that have guys like Jokic/Gobert/Giannis/etc.
I just think they should be able to build off of this and have a better idea of what works and what doesn't. With the original list of players they had prior to camp, you should be able to field a solid squad. Just not as good as 2008/2012/2016.

When did that happen?
USA would've been better off sending Utah's starting lineup rather than Boston
