Re: Team USA 2012

Hm, out of those guys.....

PG - Chris Paul
PG - Deron Williams
PG - Derrick Rose
SG - Dwyane Wade
SG - Kobe Bryant
SF - LeBron James
SF - Kevin Durant
SF - Carmelo Anthony
PF - Kevin Love
PF - LaMarcus Aldridge
C - Dwight Howard
C - Tyson Chandler

Would love to get Gordon or some other designated gun on the team though, somehow.

Re: Team USA 2012

Maybe it's just me but I think Westbrook could learn a thing or two from playing on the team if he makes the final roster.

I would say they could do without Kobe but then the 2 spot would be too thin with just Wade there. Also wouldn't be surprised if they went with just 1 Center this year as well.

Re: Team USA 2012

Oh God. Westbrook should only make the team if either of Williams, Rose, Kobe don't play. Other than that, he can stay his *** home. No doubt he would learn a lot from the experience, but there are other players who deserve to be there ahead of him.

Not to mention the team is guard heavy already...

D-Rose did give some credit to his time playing over the summer last year for what helped him step his game up last season. It probably could do Russ some good.

Re: Team USA 2012

I think it could too, especially if he WANTS to improve his game. Out of all the first timers, I think he can benefit the most from being on the team.

Besides, it's not like they're going to ask him to do the same thing he's doing in OKC that some people may have an issue with because I doubt Coack K or any of the others would allow for that to happen.

Re: Team USA 2012

Have to think there will be at least one injury that will cause someone to pull out. Also, I can't see Kobe going. At his age with injuries, personal issues, etc., it just seems like he will pass.

Re: Team USA 2012

Regardless, both of those guys won't make the final cut. Or at least shouldn't.

I think Billups and Odom should be the first to be cut. Followed by Westbrook.

After that it's going to be hell to trim it down.
