USA Olympic Basketball Team

The USA national basketball team was named today, here's the team:

• LeBron James - F - Heat
• Kobe Bryant - OG - Lakers
• Kevin Durant - SF - Thunder
• Russell Westbrook - G - Thunder
• Kevin Love - PF - Timberwolves 
• Chris Paul - PG - Clippers
• Deron Williams - PG- Nets
• Carmelo Anthony - SF - Knicks
• Blake Griffin - PF - Clippers
• Tyson Chandler - C - Knicks
• James Harden - OG - Thunder
• Andre Iguodola - SF/OG - 76ers

Injuries knocked out Dwayne Wade, Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Andrew Bynum, Brook Lopez & Chris Bosh.   The last 3 players cut were Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay & Anthony Davis.    This will easily be the most athletic team in the Olympics, nobody is going to be able to run with them.   They are a bit thin at the center position, I'm surprised they didn't take another one (Roy Hibbert?  Tim Duncan?  Greg Monroe?).  Anyways, I fully expect them to come home with another gold medal.  It'll be interesting to see if this will be the last "Dream Team" version of Olympic basketball, I personally hope not, I quite enjoy it, but there is some talk of it being changed to a 23 and under tournament starting in 2016.  


**** UPDATE:  Blake Griffin hurt his knee on 7/12/12 and has been ruled out of the Olympics, he has been replaced on the roster by Anthony Davis.  That's a blow, they were already thin in the front court, hopefully Davis can live up to his potential. ****

Suns Thoughts

Just a few thoughts on the Suns off season to this point:

• Steve Nash dealt to the Lakers.  I had resigned myself to the fact that Nash wasn't going to be back and I think that is the right move for the franchise moving forward.  What I am have some trouble with is that the Suns dealt him to their arch-rival Los Angeles Lakers.  WTF are they doing helping out the Lakers?  I don't care if Nash wanted to play there or not you do not trade away your 2 time NBA MVP to your arch-rival!!!   They essentially gave him away too, 2 first round picks (which will probably be in the mid/late 20's) and 2 second round picks.  I just don't get it. 
• Goran Dragic signed as a free agent.  I like this move, I thought that it was a big mistake to deal him away in the first place.  I suspect that he will be the starting point guard come the start of the year.  
• Michael Beasley signed as a free agent.  I'm a Beasley fan, I think the Timberwolves made a mistake not bringing him back.  If he's healthy and his head is in the right place, he will have no trouble averaging 20+ ppg in Alvin Gentry's offense.  
• Kendall Marshall drafted in round 1 of the NBA Draft.  Knowing Nash wasn't going to be back and not knowing at that time if they could bring back Dragic, I think this was the only way they could have gone.  I suspect Dragic will be the starting point guard but Marshall will provide good depth and in time could unseat him.  I really don't see the downside (unless you are Sebastian Telfair).  
• They've still got to do something about their off guard spot.  They signed the Hornet's Eric Gordon to an offer sheet but I highly suspect that New Orleans will match it.  I wouldn't be opposed to Michael Redd being brought back, he actually played pretty good last year and I think that he'd like to be back (especially given the success the Suns training staff has had at lengthening careers) .  Shannon Brown played well in spots too, I see him more as a bench/rotation guy though, not as a starter.  
• I suspect that Grant Hill is gone too.  I love him as a player and person, it just seems time, the Suns need to start over (plus they already have Beasley, Dudley and Childress to play SF). 

Happy 4th of July!

Mitt Romney on Corporations

"Corporations are people, my friend… of course they are. Everything corporations earn ultimately goes to the people. Where do you think it goes? Whose pockets? Whose pockets? People's pockets. Human beings, my friend."    -  Mitt Romney
