2019 Offseason Thread

Feel like people turning down USA basketball is just the hot item thing to do at the moment. I just don't get it why the younger guys would pass on this opportunity. The only fathomable reason is Paul George and what he went through, with the young guys not really yet having that security. But shit, this opportunity like @bksballer89 may never come again. Take advantage.

Yeah, I have a feeling that there are some guys turning that opportunity down that will end up regretting it later.

Now that is pretty funny.

Props

was a little tongue-in-cheek, but have to say if I really didn't like the convo I would refrain from it and scroll. Not that hard.

Very true...and would even add it's not like these guys don't play in leagues or pick up over the summer where they could get hurt, as well.

These kids must think they're bigger stars than they actually are. When an Olympic year comes around, there will be no roster spots available for these lower rung players to participate.

Agreed.

But I also get not wanting the extra wear and tear in a non-Olympic year.

Gotta think these guys already made Summer plans and this is the easiest excuse to turn down the invite.

In fairness, they are like the select teams 50th choice.
