[Mecca of the “B” Team]

USA
France
Slovenia
Canada
Germany

Those seems like the 5 contenders that i can think of. Spain with no nba players fell off big time

Great to have real competitive basketball in August

I would add Australia

Some of these Dudes, like Ntillikina, Murray won’t play.

But, still tons of NBA talent.



USA - Everyone a NBA Player

France: Frank Ntilikina (Free agent, most recently Dallas Mavericks), Nicolas Batum(LA Clippers), Evan Fournier (New York Knicks), Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves)

Slovenia: Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks

Canada: Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder), RJ Barrett (New York Knicks), Dillon Brooks (Houston Rockets), Lu Dort(Oklahoma City Thunder), Nickeil Alexander-Walker (Minnesota Timberwolves), Kelly Olynyk (Utah Jazz), Dwight Powell (Dallas Mavericks)

Germany: Dennis Schroder (Toronto Raptors), Daniel Theis (Indiana Pacers), Franz Wagner (Orlando Magic), Moritz Wagner (Orlando Magic).

Australia: Xavier Cooks (Washington Wizards), Dyson Daniels (New Orleans Pelicans), Dante Exum (Dallas Mavericks), Josh Giddey (Oklahoma City Thunder), Josh Green(Dallas Mavericks), Joe Ingles (Orlando Magic), Jock Landale (Houston Rockets), Patty Mills (Atlanta Hawks), Matisse Thybulle (Portland Trail Blazers), Jack White(Oklahoma City Thunder).

Australia could be a bigger contender than Slovenia since Luka is the only NBA'er they have.

If push came to shove, I would deal him to the Nets.

Cam Johnson, DFS and picks?

I would do it IF he says he was bolting.

That is definitely an option and they get two wings in that deal. DFS can play stretch 4 too

 

[Shanemansj13]

You think Nets should do this?

Lean towards no lol

You think Nets should do this?

 

[The Q]

Here’s the reality. With the new rules, the middle class is going to get destroyed or have to be like brown and play for terrible franchises

Spain/usa in a good one

Spain/usa in a good one

USA having a Clipperesqe 3rd quarter.

 

[msgkings322]

Bosh was attempting more shots than him. If he wanted to defer, there was no need to defer to that level where you made yourself the 3rd option in the finals

I just think the moment was too big for him at the point in his career. He had attempted 22 shots per game in the 2nd round series vs Boston and 19 shots per game in the ECF vs Chicago to only attempt 15 per game in the finals is bad.

I think blaming Dwade for this is idiotic considering Lebron attempted 19 shots per game in the previous round and 22 per game vs Boston

It's not 'blaming' Wade, or LeBron. It's just the reality that teams sometimes take some time to figure out what works and they hadn't gotten there yet.

Wtf Bridges?

My Guy took a 8 foot shot and left it 3 feet short…..lol

Lead gone….

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]
