I suspect the Olympic committee or whoever decides on the USA teams, will likely offer most of the spots for the BB team to NBA players not involved in the current playoffs. Probably quite a few guys would still want to play, be able to say they played in the Olympics. Could it be they may have to or want to ask some current collegians to be on the team this year also?

Come to think of it, whoever they pick, better start pretty soon. Time to start practicing, gel as a team.

I would love to see them form a team of college players and maybe "older" NBA guys that are free agents/out of the league, but still good enough to play at a high level.

They mentioned it late that Milwaukee only played 1 guy major minutes off the bench tonight. Gonna be a lot of gassed guys in this game 7.

Game 7 will come down to Middleton v. Harden I think. Under normal circumstances Harden is easily going to win that matchup, but him being hampered is a serious equalizer. KD and Giannis will get theirs, but whichever #2 guy has the better game, that team will win IMO.

I'm wondering if they think there's way too many miles on questionable legs because at first glance it looks good for OKC.

He's starting the downward slope of his production but Horford isn't exactly young.

A guy like Walker could be a great scorer off the bench late in his career, especially for a team with lots of other threats.

Thunder now have 3 first round picks in the upcoming draft too.

seems like OKC won this trade. It sounds like Kemba won't be there long and they got another first round pick. Likely a salary dump for Boston. I saw that OKC has 18 first round picks over the next 7 drafts.

Does Monte have a chance to make this? I would think Pop would like a low turnover high assist smart BB player. That would up my watching factor considerably

Pretty sure Monte is playing for another country.

The flopping, especially on three point attempts, almost makes the NBA unwatchable.
The way these guys dive for the floor if even slightly touched is about as bad as a fixed championship boxing match.
