Rajon Rondo withdraws from Team USA roster for World Championship - ESPN

Rose now the clear starter?

 

[RC_Skinny22]

I think they use Billups as a Sg so yes Rose should be the starter.

Is anybody in here worried about him playing and risking an injury? I´m not.

While there's certainly an injury risk I absolutely want Rose spending time with that caliber of player. Not only should it aid his development, but after this past offseason you have to regard NBA free agency as a "who you know" type proposition. Rose needs to network, and this is a great place to start.

lol overrated Rondo knew he was going to get cut and left...

and Rose was always the clear-cut starter...

about your sig... Wade is more talented than LeBron. He just doesn't have LeBron's imposing physique.

Nice to see Rose a starter. I hope he plays like the star he can be.

thats what came to my mind when i read the article.

Lots of people are probably more talented than LeBron if you don't include the physical part of the body in the talent equation.

As a side note, this team USA isn't really all that hot for recruiting. What is he going to do convince Stephon Curry to sign with the Bulls in three years? Eric Gordon? Not really a lot of players that you'd ever want there.

True, but it is what it is.

Mayo would be nice. Or maybe he makes a pact with Durant after his deal expires.

If he was able to recruit Stephen Curry that would be sick though. He's the perfect fit for the 2 guard and is going to be an All-Star player. He posted a 16 per and .568 TS in his rookie year. Also shoot close to 44 percent from 3. If we could get Curry we would be able to compete with Miami

he's a good player, but i'd rather keep at the point. i think of better players to play at the 2.

Off Topic a bit.....but I don't care:

Did anyone see that Rose was named Player Of The Game against Greece today?

He & Durant really are the main 2 players on this Team USA this summer! Eff Yeah!
