AboveLegit Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 What do you think it will look like? Which players should be playing in London next summer? PG: Chris Paul/Deron Williams/Derrick RoseSG: Dwyane Wade/Kobe BryantSF: Kevin Durant/Carmelo AnthonyPF: LeBron James/Blake Griffin/Kevin LoveC: Dwight Howard/Tyson Chandler By next year, I think it will be clear that Wade should start, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kobe ends up starting to allow Wade to be the main scoring punch off the bench like in 2008.

Blazed49 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 No Aldridge love? He's a better player than love and he owned Blake in their matchups last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboveLegit Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 No Aldridge love? He's a better player than love and he owned Blake in their matchups last year.Love performed well last summer, so I figured he'd come back because of that. As for Blake, it's tough, but I think they could use his athleticism and ability to run the floor. No way Kobe comes off the bench lolWhy not? He's all about winning another Gold Medal, he will do whatever is asked of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying he wont, im just saying I just dont see Kobe being asked to come off the bench for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Kobe will probably end up being in the starting lineup just because of his reputation and that he's still an extremely effective player, but Wade is clearly the better player (IMO), and next year that will be even more true, assuming he has no unexpected injuries. Also, having him come off the bench back in 2008 worked out amazingly well, so that will probably be in the back of the coach's mind. Personally, knowing all that, my starting lineup would be... PaulKobeDurantLeBronHoward With Wade, Williams, Rose, Griffin, Melo, Bosh (familiarity with the team), and Chandler or Aldridge filling out the roster.

Owner Real Deal Posted August 9, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Kobe will start and facilitate more than usual. Wade will be that selfish superstar off the bench (a good selfish). I don't see why that would change, really...it's too effective to throw out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
