I have said this for years and I think there is no better time to try something new

How about

The US vs The World

No doubt it would be a great game and the world could win.

Would make things more competitive and you can put some money on the line to make it interesting.

I havent gone too deep into it but I wonder what the 2 teams would look like

Not sure how the benches work but the starting 5 may look like this:

Kyrie
Luka
Giannis
Embiid
Jokic

Bench would be sus though

Just list the best non American players and you realize they have no chance.

Giannis obviously, then who. I guess Embiid and Jokic and who, Porzingis, Wiggins? Doncic?

Schroder, Wiggins, and Gallo are not AS worthy which is the problem with this idea. You would be rewarding roughly 3-5 players on the world side who are not exactly all stars that season

Kyrie and Ben Simmons.

They actually have a really great top 7 for this season

Well like you said the bench would be suspect. Those were the foreign players I could think of. What kind of a difference do you think Tristan Thompson would make?

HUGE

But in all seriousness, they can have a solid 10 players are so to compete against the US but I think it is only something you can do in one year.

Kyrie
Luka
Giannis
Embiid
Jokic
Simmons
Gobert
Capela
Wiggins
Zingis

I think it could add some life and fire into the game.

I mean the game now is pretty much unwatchable

I think in a few years this would be a great idea as we got young guys like Ayton and Hield who may be at an AS quality in a year or 2 in addition to Porzingis being healthy
