Foreign superteam - ItsGoTime - 01-02-2023 How awesome would it be for all Non-American players to show up all the AAU guys and force a trade to 1 team to build a superteam that can’t be beat. Would be an amazing end to LeBron’s “legacy”. Luka/SGA/Siakam/Giannis/Jokic Just as a starting 5. RE: Foreign superteam - Time Machine Dirk - 01-02-2023 Let's pull the trigger on these trades!

RE: Foreign superteam - ItsGoTime - 01-02-2023 Heck, even just all Euro would have Luka/Giannis/Jokic, we could possibly not screw that trio up!

But unfortunately, not enough basketballs to go around -- every one of these players wants (and needs) the ball in their hands a huge amount of the time, to have the impact they do on games.

And the American all-stars don't need the basketballs? Take your pick to make the best team possible: Curry Durant Lebron Tatum Harden Kyrie Davis Kawhi Trae Mitchell Beal All of those guys are ball dominant that need the ball to do their own thing yet every Olympics they make it work. You don't think a triumvirate of Luka/Jokic/Giannis couldn't figure it out?

I think I'd argue that most US Olympic teams have been selected from great individual players, not the best possible TEAM. Our level of talent has been so superior to most other countries', that the lack of balance and cohesiveness hasn't kept us from winning - most of the time. RE: Foreign superteam - cow - 01-02-2023 Where is Dwight Powell on this super team?

Starting ahead of Jokic, earning the biggest paycheck, leading the team as captain. |
