jason kidd should not be on the team imo. i just dont see how what prince gives them will be more important than having a 4th big. i cant stand carlos boozer either

Someone please tell me why Jason Kidd is on this team. ESPN has him as a lock and CP3/Deron on the bubble list. This team needs a backcourt of CP3/Deron.

Also why Tayshaun? I dont understand what we are trying to do here.

I thought we wanted to win....

We need Kidd to be watching these games from home for sure. He's had his time to shine with the US teams in the past. Paul and Williams should both be locks for the team and like I said before Dwight Howard is going to terrorize the other countries big men.

Only problem is if he gets in foul trouble.

They probably want some international expirience. Kinda like why teams in the finals still consider Robert Horry an asset.

Ultimate Deron- Just saw on ESPN ticker that Deron Williams and Boozer to receive spots on the Olymic team.

Al Jefferson: NO, only good because he's the only semi-reliable player on the whole team, Boozer is better.

Rudy Gay: Really? No way he deserves to be thought of...yet.

David West: Deserves some great consideration, Boozer gets the nod due to experience.

Antwan Jamison: Same as above, not as good of low post scorer as Boozer or West, though.

Caron Butler: Some day

Brandon Roy: He would never, ever, ever get any playing time.

boozer doesnt give team usa anything. rudy gay is long, can play defense and hit jumpers. the main thing for me is that boozer and prince could have been left on for two bigs or at least one of west/jefferson + a jamison or a sf like caron or gay. dont you think those two would be better than prince? and what does gay need to do to be thought of? he is efficient and can do just about anything you need him to do.

Both are soft as hell but Boozers has one more year of NBA experience, not exactly a reason to take him over West. I wouldnt want either, both are SOFT.
