Kawhi Leonard is withdrawing from Team USA for the Paris Olympics and will be replaced, sources tell me and @joevardon.

Jaylen Brown should replace him if he wants to not no damn Derrick White

White is a better defender than Leonard at this point and a better shooter than Brown, easy decision to me. Take Tatum off and replace him with Brown.

Damn, they doing son like his OG Zeke

Derrick White tho?? Damn American BBall really is cooked

You actually think derrick white is getting minutes?

 

[Born2BKing]

You actually think derrick white is getting minutes?

I mean he is a defensive monster who is deadly from 3. I mean why not?

 

[beenz]

even if he was healthy, he has no business playing on team usa given his injury history and him just missing the playoffs with injury AGAIN.

ESPECIALLY after getting a brand new contract.

 

[UpAndComing]

He was on Team USA a few years ago and then he got wrist surgery, which kept him off the team. He definitely wanted to play.

You right breh. You can tell Jaylen Brown wants to play in the Olympics and was pissed he was injured the last time

he;ll be the jerami grant, keldon johnson. Only like 9 guys will get consistent minutes

Kawhi was the one player I was hoping Tatum would get to work with on learning post play this summer.

 

[GoldenGlove]

I'm praying USA Basketball sends Jaylen Brown an email telling him "You're not good enough to play in the Olympics"

Team USA asked JT for his opinion on who they should replace Kawhi with, Derrick White or Jaylen Brown.

Tatum told them White...

Get a real American on the team the country can rally around?

Christian Laettner can be on the Dream Team but Cooper Flagg can't be on this one?

Can't let him play 4-5 minutes and inspire a new generation of non aborted Christian children in America?

Nah you may actually have a point.

I'd choose Jaylen Brown personally but I see the appeal

 

[NormanConnors]

Yep based on skillset

 

[UpAndComing]

Facts. Tatum needs to fire Drew Hanlen

 

[MikelArteta]

Yep based on skillset

so whose not getting minutes then?

 

[Remote]
