 [/td][/tr][/table]

In my opinion, using the 2008 roster:
Carmelo Anthony; lock
Carlos Boozer
Chris Bosh
Kobe Bryant; lock
Dwight Howard; lock
LeBron James; lock
Jason Kidd
Chris Paul; lock
Tayshaun Prince
Michael Redd
Dwyane Wade; lock
Deron Williams; lock

My 4 replacements:
Aldridge
Rose
Love
Durant

This team is going to be great.

ASSUMING ALL GUYS ON THE LIST ARE HEALTHY

PGs: CP3, Deron and rose (deron and rose can both play some SG)
SGs: kobe and wade
SFs: KD, lebron and carmelo
PFs: aldridge and love
Cs: dwight and chandler (chandler will see little to no time, but you can't take just 1 real center.. can you?)



i really doubt kobe AND wade will be able to go.. i think this fast paced season will really take a toll on those guys (ESPECIALLY if they have long playoff runs)

- hence why i've been pushing harden for consideration in the NBA thread.. but of that list i would go iggy THEN gordon

I'd take the same squad but would take Bosh off and add Bynum. 
I think at the least should get an invite to the camp over Chandler and get a chance to play for a spot.

 What's scary is that on this team Durant and Love can play the spot up three guys

SKA here is the rumored list of 19 they will be selecting from, this will be announcing in the coming weeks to come. Blake Griffin and Lamarcus Aldridge are the only ones on the list with no Senior Men's National Team experience.

LaMarcus Aldridge

Carmelo Anthony

Chauncey Billups

Chris Bosh

Kobe Bryant

Tyson Chandler

Kevin Durant

Eric Gordon

Blake Griffin

Dwight Howard

Andre Iguodala

LeBron James

Kevin Love

Lamar Odom

Chris Paul

Derrick Rose

Dwyane Wade

Russell Westbrook

Deron Williams

In no particular order
Center: Dwight Howard

Forward:Kevin Durant, Chris Bosh , LeBron James, Kevin Love, Carmelo Anthony, Blake Griffin

Guard: Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Deron Williams, Derrick Rose, Chris Paul

With LA and Iggy being the 13 and 14th guys cut.


This team will run the other nation off the floor and will be savvy enough to grind it out with the amount of vets on the squad. Size won't really be an issue with Love and Bosh being able to slide to the 5 for a little bit, especially when we go small ball with a line up off Love, Bron, Wade, Rose, Paul that'll be a quick 10 points in 1-2 minutes

Words can't describe how pumped I am

rck: I didn't know that Blake Griffin was among the eligible, but I still think that Aldridge's game is more suited for international play.

Seeing Paul, Rose, Wade, Bron & Love would be dope, but personally, I can't wait to see what Melo does. Dude COOKED last time.

Imagine how butt hurt Bosh would be if he didn't make it.

I honestly think he is a lock. Colangelo and Coach K both love the guy

Guards:
Derrick Rose Chris Paul
Kobe Bryant Dwyane Wade
Deron Williams

Forwards:

Lebron James Kevin Durant
Blake Griffin Kevin Love
CarMelo

Centers :

Dwight Howard Lamarcus Aldridge


Lots of versatility and size up front. Damn forgot about melo

Melo has to be a lock as well, especially considering to how well he has consistently played in international competition in the last couple years. Heck he basically was our best player in 2006 and 2007

this would be my team

LaMarcus Aldridge
Carmelo Anthony
Kobe Bryant
Kevin Durant
Dwight Howard
LeBron James
Kevin Love
Chris Paul
Derrick Rose
Dwyane Wade
Stephen Curry
Rudy Gay

Naw I agree with you on LA. I just have an inkling that Griffin will be taken over LA though. Regardless though whichever one makes it will be competing for potentially the 4th or 5th big off the bench behind Dwight, Bosh, Love, possibly Bron. Kinda playing that Boozer role in 2008
Melo was in the FIBA Americas

 
And while I'm on the topic of the 2007 FIBA Americas tournament..... I screamed at my TV when I saw this live

Only 12 right?

LaMarcus Aldridge
Carmelo Anthony
Chauncey Billups
Carlos Boozer
Chris Bosh
Kobe Bryant
Tyson Chandler
Stephen Curry
Kevin Durant
Tyreke Evans
Rudy Gay
Eric Gordon
Danny Granger
Jeff Green
Dwight Howard
Andre Iguodala
LeBron James
Al Jefferson
David Lee
Brook Lopez
Robin Lopez
Kevin Love
O.J. Mayo
Lamar Odom
Chris Paul
Kendrick Perkins
Tayshaun Prince
Rajon Rondo
Derrick Rose
Amar'e Stoudemire
Dwyane Wade
Gerald Wallace
Russell Westbrook
Deron Williams

Those bolded, I feel, are locks.

Paul, Rose, Deron
Kobe, Wade
LeBron, Melo, KD
LMA, Love,
Dwight.

Leaves two spots for Westbrook, Stoudemire, Iguodala, Gordon, Gay, Chandler, and Bosh.

I narrow that down to Iguodala, Gay, Chandler, and Bosh. If I'm putting a team together, I'd like another 7 footer, leaving Chandler or Bosh. Defense should never be a problem on Team USA, so I guess I'd choose Bosh.

Wait, what? Robin Lopez got a preliminary invite? Might as well invite every American player then.

Would like (if healthy and willing, BIG IF) to see Bynum over Griffin. Spare Dwight minutes.

Spain has good bigs with the Gasols & Garbajosa right? I love the speed aspect of the team but size should matter too.

Stil love how the 96 team came with Shaq, Dream, and Robinson.

i agree with this only id put eric gordon in there instead of aldridge... gotta get a 2 guard in there who can shoot to replace michael redd.

Rose & blake

i think the team that wins the finals should go play in the olympics or whatever.... then you can really call your team the "world champs"

While I understand that Blakes the darling of the NBA right now I honestly believe you'd be insane to take him over LA in international play.  IMO you swap Blake & La in terms of play time... And I Probably Bring Eric Gordon instead of Iggy for another shooter.

  

Theres no way Kobe is going to play this summer with his wrist injury
