    It’s more likely that Khuse becomes our starting PG and is voted an All Star than the Dubbs trading us Curry .

    :Laugh: It really is, they’d probably dissolve the franchise before trading Curry here.

    -Thought Bron looked good picking his spots and seems to be voted in as the leader of the squad.

    -AD was the best player in the game. Absolute monster on both ends. Remarkable what he can do when he doesn't have to do heavy lifting offensively and has help defensively.

    -What are you guys talking about? I love Embiid on the team. He's awful, looks out of shape and doesn't know what to do when his foul hunting doesn't work with international rules. BUT I want him starting the whole time. 1) I don't want AD having to do too much and let someone else take that first punch. 2) I want to see as much of the AD and Bam lineup as possible. It can get a little clunky offensively but dear Lord... defensively they shut off the water. They are the two best switchy bigs in the game.

    -Can we DNP Booker when KD is back? He's going to lose the spot and the second unit is better with Tatum/Ant/Haliburton.

    -Ant being the guy with the second unit is a smart move from Kerr. He's not going to get those looks as a starter but with team 2 can absolute cook AND he's picking it up defensively too. Did I mention that second unit is a lot of fun? A little sloppy (as were the starters) but they're going to sharpen up as we progress. Still demolished a competitive, NBA filled a Canada team.

    Oh yeah, f*** Brooks.

    Oh God, I forgot that Josh Piddy is an Aussie. Didn't expect to see his disgusting mug.

    Davis completely dominated after break.
    17 points, 13 rebounds couple blocks and he missed like 10 shots
    Another run by Australia, 6 point game and finally Kerr called time out

    AD is easily the most important player on the team

    AD needs to be starting...Joel Embiid is officially the "Brandon Ingram" of this Team USA.

    Bron is right up there behind AD who does look tremendous in the top 3 or 4 most valuable players on the team. Ant and maybe a couple others cases could be made have more overall basketball value at the highest level of the all around game. Going on 40 and all those playoffs and Olympics and he still looks that good. I think he'll have another good 3 shooting year. He freaking just went and upped that part of his game. Easier on his body too to have that threat so it opens up blow bys on close outs in addition to his normal variety of drives and bully ball to the basket.

    Like I said...he's the Brandon Ingram of this year's team.

    Needs to benched - whether Kerr has the guts to do it is another story but when you got AD on the bench...it's an easy decision
