T-Wolves waive West; Lopez drops out from Worlds due to mono-McGee is in

Delonte West is officially on the market; I really, really hope those rumors about him headed to the Lakers prove false...can't imagine having West, Barnes and Artest on the floor at the same time...

*hard comes on Very Happy

Nice of Lopez to stay around long enough to give mono to everyone....

Watch. USA will have to get college players represent again... I actually wish they already would do that.

wow..USA will get eat by big Sofo and the crew with Javal at C..

@Nick..Nice idea..

Even though in the NBA mcgee isnt that great...in the olympics he'll beast

McGee will probably destroy everybody...look at the Redeem Team. They barely shot jumpers. It was all just mess around with layups and dunks and maybe somebody will come close. NBA players are just too athletic for everybody else, and McGee will probably be too athletic for all the other big men

wow.. I actually don't think the US is gonna do good this summer... maybe a bronze..

We're way too small

They have McGee and Chandler. Both tall and both are athletic. I personally think they'll do fine. If the U.S. can win bronze, that would be SUPER impressive too (preppy talk FTW). We don't have Kobe, Wade, Lebron, Dwight, CP3, Deron, Carmelo, Bosh, Stoudemire, Bynum, Perkins, Garnett, Pierce...and to still win something? That just proves how dominant the NBA is, with like 10 of our best players not playing (Bynum/Perkins because really there isn't much more big men)

Also, I doubt the U.S. even cares about FIBA...rape everybody in the Olympics, and then chill for the next 4 years until it comes time to have players like Lebron, Carmelo, Dwight, Durant, Westbrook, Bynum, Bosh, Rose, Rondo etc etc at their prime or pretty close to it to come and rape again.

other countries have BIG guys.. guys that can push McGee and chandler around.. and odom.

but I can't see anything more than a bronze.

and the fans in the US don't care about FIBA.. but the players do hahaha. I don't think Durant, Rose, Rondo, etc. will be happy with a bronze

Trust me, European big men will NOT push around McGee and Chandler (ESPECIALLY not Chandler...he's a tough guy). Like really, how many big men that have come from Europe are considered tough in our league? Yao Ming? Andrea Bargnani? Dirk Nowitzki?

I don't care about FIBA... I have to admit.

I think the USA should play the pro's for the Olympics and top college dudes for FIBA... or like a combo of college and pros for FIBA. I just generally have no interest who wins it, I just like watching it.

I might be wrong, but there are a lot of NBA foreign players that aren't going to play FIBA this year as well.

I have to look up who, but for the most part I don't think a good portion of their good player are playing. I'm almost positive that Gasol isn't playing... same with Dirk.

I've watched basketball overseas before.. [dads european and he pays attention to that stuff] I don't pay attention to names an whatever.. but just because a lot of those guys aren't as talented as guys in the NBA, doesn not mean they're not tough.

the guys u listed are the big men with talent. like offensive talent.. the guys that don't get drafted from around the world can't shoot from the outside and shit.. but they push people around.

Lol nobody cares about FIBA... Yeah we have mostly young guys out there playing. Rondo, Durant, Curry, McGee...Besides Billups, our oldest guy is Lamar Odom. The average age is like 24 or 25

No they don't I watch European basketball religiously....that "there soft" stigma is definitely true.

Big baby is probably the toughest guy in all of european basketball..and even he is soft haha

He's European? He came out of LSU...

thats not what visa meant

Big baby is a center in europe..not glen davis.

oh, never mind lol

Tell me how McGee or Chandler will defend Big Sofo..I predict 3 fouls per person in the 1st half. Let alone Bourousis..

he' a big one hahaha. but I don't like his skill set,tbh. they'll have a tough time with him..but we'll prevail nonetheless.

Bourousis is a softie...we can munch on him!

Yeah, Bourousis is pretty much a non factor on D but his O game is legit..
