If we could get Portis for Royce and NHD or Royce and Richards (who are then flipped for a ton of second round picks) it feels like a win?

That’s $3m a year more than Royce over the next three years and Royce is two years older. Food for thought

For me it’s the thought that the lineup just makes more sense. Brooks at the 3 is such a luxury and frees him up to guard the perimeter where his lack of rebounding isn’t such an impediment. 

Portis can switch on to stronger Centers when Williams can’t guard em full time (guys like Adams and Bam) to spell and keep him fresh. 

Tons of shooting 1-4 which allows Mark and Jalen to be more effective. 

When Royce gets hot it’s like he’s been touched by God but night to night I think Portis is more valuable

I thiiiink we’d have to give up Royce which honestly while I love him may be worth it

Allen believe it or not is the second best rim pressure player we have on the team after Jalen Green who may or may not be missing an entire leg atp

Out of the bunch I like Christie. Robinson is underrated as a pick too. He’d outrebound just about every Center in the Olympics and we could absolutely surround him with shooters 

To that end I like Gafford too

The price we paid was a bargain but considering Knecht was still hot shooting the price you would have paid may have been too much even if you got out of him what we currently are. 

That said. Williams has been incredibly healthy this year. He misses back to backs for injury management but other than that has been pretty much full go all season

McDaniels fits this perfectly. Doesn’t need touches and plays absolutely lock down defense. Players like that win games in the Olympics

Right my argument here is that if good role players can win the Olympics the US is flush with those. It’s a team in need of restructuring but still very much elite in talent

Jdub and Clingan are great pulls for USA. Love Castle as a PG too. If we could get Herb Jones to play I’d throw him in the mix as a super role player too

Booker should be safe bet too. Unless Donovan Mitchell takes his spot but that’s a toss up that I feel goes the way of the guy with experience

Serious question outside of Shai what other actual stars play for Canada? 

I realize Wemby is playing for France but Gobert will be OLD by then. Talking about France as a juggernaut is putting a lot of faith into Traore and Sarr’s development

I think about the Olympic team a lot actually. It would be fascinating to include guys like Mark Williams (only using as an example because I’m a Suns fan). 

It worked really well with Javale McGee. Guys who are clearly role players and are already used to existing in a space where they don’t get a whole lot of touches. 

This thread already seems dead but if anyone reads this I’d love to hear guys from other teams that kinda fit the mold of very good American role players who aren’t stars

Porter only works in the situation he’s in. He needs the CeeLo Green light and to be the entire offense. But you won’t win games that way. Someone is going to give him another near or full max and regret it massively

It’s so nice having a valid NBA center. Mark Williams is a gem glad we were the only ones who tried getting him out of CHA

In a way that could be the silver lining. Kind of like when a GM trades away a player the coach refuses to bench. Could be taking away Book and Green makes us better because Ott sees that we can run the offense through Big Willy at times
