JaVale McGee will now be playing on a world stage in the Tokyo Olympics.

That's a good but not great pickup. They needed a 7 foot shotblocker.

Why did trae young get the isiah thomas treatment? He would be the best point guard and passer on the roster. That selfish bastard Lloyd pierce probably told pop not to get him. Instead we're wasting spots on guys like Kendall Johnson? Come on pop

We'll see if he can adjust to FIBA rules, but overall probably a good pick.

Beal out
LaVine injured
Love quit
Booker, Jrue and Middleton might not even be able to join

Bums like Jerami Grant, Bam, Tatum, Javale, Keldon, Garland on the team. No other superstar except maybe Dame.

coached by Colangelo, FIBA Pop who's ass, Lloyd Pierce who had an ECF team looking like a lotto team...

International talent at an all time high. Spain, France, Australia and Nigeria all loaded.

If KD carries us to the Gold again like he did over a decade ago this is the most valuable basketball gold medal of all time.

Like 3 players in the league are actually good if Bam and Tatum are bums.

Bam just got bodied on both ends of the floor by Brook Lopez . Whenever Jimmy is hurt the Heat look like the Wolves. Lotto team.

Tatum I guess ain't a bum. But he can drop 40 one night on 15/23 then 18 the next on 4/18 he's hella inconsistent and overrated. Jaylen might be better TBH.

I don’t care about your troll opinions. You can’t just call objectively very good players “bums” and expect to be taken seriously.

Jury is out on Bam being good out of the bubble babyboi.

Huh?

Huh?

I mean are you really surprised, given the content of his posts? The man’s an idiot.

McGee. Bold move. I like it.

You don't want to give lesser talented teams a player to target. Plus the smaller court+increased physicality+lack of bailout fouls might mean Trae would be less effective in FIBA. Keldon Johnson is a big physical wing defender who moves without the ball, and he's already been there training the whole time.

[TAZORAC]

They couldn't do any better then Keldon Johnson and Mcgee?
