Team USA's training camp roster

[DirtyKash]

Luke Ridnour, Seattle?!?!?!

You might as well cuff him with Antonio Daniels cause he isnt making the team. Hell they traded to get Earl Watson.

He's exactly the type of point guard that team USA needs. He's unselfish and can distribute the ball as well as any point guard in the NBA. With a team full of superstars, it's not like you need much out of Ridnour aside from bringing the ball up the court and getting it to the scorers. It's basically all you'll need out of Chris Paul as well.

I think someone once suggested that we send the Detroit starting lineup, because they have so much chemistry. Ooook.

A 60 year old Jason Kidd would be better than Luke Ridnour.

[MarinersFan87]

That's like saying Shaq is a better option than Miller, no shit. Kidd won't play so you can't take that angle compadre.

[Kingdom]

There's better options out there.
And Brad Miller is not a bad guy to have. His ability to pass out of the post would be great along with shooters like Redd and..

[DirtyKash]

Ridnour's fine for the team. You could have gotten guys like Brevin Knight or Andre Miller, but really, the difference is negligible.

[Kingdom]

What about Mike Bibby then.. he seems to only play well in big games, the Olympics would be fairly big. Eh eh.

[redsfan28]

What would be your ideal starting line-up?

C - Brand
PF - Stoudemire
SF - LeBron
SG - Kobe
PG - D-Wade

C - Brand
PF - Stoudemire
SF - LeBron
SG - Kobe
PG - D-Wade

^ Stoudemire would be the C and Brand the PF in that lineup.

Brand's been playing PF with Kaman at C, while Amare played C practically all last year with Marion at PF and Q-Rich/Joe at SG/SF (interchangeably).

Still a solid lineup.

But my point remains the same... not enough basketballs to go around.

You want to know how much of a joke that is. Our own sports radio compared him to that thing that doesnt belong in the a set of pictures. He isnt even the best PG on his team. Theres better than this guy out there in college. Period, end of story. Hes getting burned by his own media. Hell ill go one better hes not even the best PG in Washington (that would be Ravio from Gonzaga.).

Id still take Billups, Arroyo and Antonio Daniels = who all have higher Assists to TO ratios than Ridnour. Ridnour is a career 41% shooter from the floor. 33.4 from 3, not to mention the hideous 26% from 3 this season. In the international game, they will make him shoot from the outside and leave him alone or just hound him into submission, would like this guy going against other PGs that are better than this reject.

[ATLien]

Ridnour is solid.

Ravio, LOL. Get out of here with that trash. Hater.

[DirtyKash]

Hah hah hah. Carlos freaking Arroyo is a horrible PG. He makes the worst decisions possible on the floor, guy will fling up impossible alley-oops from halfcourt, he'll dribble 20 seconds of the shot clock off then launch a jumper with a hand in his face, I'm surprised it took this long for Joe Dumars to get rid of him. Ridnour is much better than Arroyo, they shouldn't even be in the same sentence.

Edit: Besides, he's Puerto Rican.

[Kingdom]

Brevin Knight would seem to be perfect since all he's good for is a lot of assists, minimal turn overs, and doesn't shoot much(he sucks at threes and foul shots anyways).

But, my point guard would be Iverson. I want a play maker back there, and someone who thrives on carrying a team. I don't want a fringe NBA starter controlling things..
