Curry's not going because of his ankle (Steph Curry will skip Rio Olympics to rest his sore knee - CBSSports.com)
AD is not going because he's rehabbing from surgery (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ba...211555709.html)
Klay might not go because of Zika.

That's a pretty good list, though I'd sub out George for Griffin.
This is all hypothetical though, since many will opt out. It's a damn shame because Rio was a great choice for the Olympics before Zika.

At the rate we are going, the starting roster to represent the US will be bench players

Daren Williams, but he will get hurt in the 1st 5 minutes
Tim Hardaway Jr
Charlie Villanueva
Josh Smith
Kendrick Perkins

and the 76ers will make up the rest of the team.

It's not so bad ... could be something like


DLillard/Westbrook/Wall
Klay/Butler/Harden
Lebron/Draymond/Carmelo/Iggy/Kevin Durant/PGeorge/Kawhi
Cousins/Drummond
