Congrats Gtime - Team USA 2016 finalist

[Gameface]

Paul/Westbrook/Kyrie/Curry
Butler/Harden/Iguodala
James/Leonard/George/Hayward
Davis/Griffin/Draymond/Durant
Cousins/Drummond/Aldridge


Nvm on Gordon making it. I forgot how many athletes missed it from injuries last time. He'll only make it if others are injured.

I can get it down to 18. The cuts will likely be Kyrie, George, and Hayward. Can't see them not picking Iggy-- he fits that role that I was alluding to Hayward fitting. Plus, he's the previous Finals MVP. Can hit threes, defend with the best of them. Good leadership, good locker-room player.

But I just realized it's a 12 member team. In that case:

Curry/Paul/Westbrook
Butler/Harden
James/Durant/Kawhi
Davis/Draymond/Carmelo
Drummond

outside chance that Cousins beats Drummond for the spot at the 5.

Let's also not forget that Hayward was on the short list when the other athletes started dropping out. They just brought in different people who hadn't been involved and ended up cutting Hayward when the no longer needed him to practice against the players they actually wanted on the team.

They don't want Hayward on the team.

I'd really rather him not put on those extra miles.

Barnes ... really ??? And Faried is lucky to be there

wonder if John Wall gets a locker next to Kyrie Irving ...

Faried was actually quite good in the World Cup (which is really a bigger tournament than the Olympics) so they had to at least have him on the preliminary roster. Also hard to see George not making the team after what happened to him in the pre-World Cup scrimmage game.

I agree on the extra miles.

Even PG has not committed to going.
