PG: Billups/WadeSG: Kobe/AllenSF: James/BattierPF: Kg/HowardC: Amare/MillerBackups: AI/BrandThis team still has star power, but also gives some shooting and some guys are great defenders (kobe, battier, Kg, Amare). The coaching staff should have D'Antoni on just because he played/coached international ball.
You do realize Hoiberg has been out the whole year because of heart surgery in which he now needs a pacemaker. He's only now comtemplating a return, a risky one. What makes you think he goes to the Olympics?
If they wanted to I think that all of the Pistons could, and should rep the U.S. in the Olympics.

To revamp my origianal lineup, I've decided we basically need the Detroit Pistons...G - BillupsG - HamiltonF - PrinceF - R. WallaceC - B. WallaceAnd bench players who can do anything...G - Chris PaulG - LeBron JamesF - Bruce BowenF - Shawn MarionC - Chris BoshG2 - Michael ReddC2 - A. StoudemireYou can put out the Pistons, an athletic team - G - BillupsG - JamesF - ReddF - MarionC - StoudemireA shooting team - G - BilluosG - ReddG - BowenF - MarionC - BoshOr an all out kill teamG - BillupsG - ReddF - JamesF - MarionC - Amare

Using the 25 invites to try out for the teamG- Dwyane Wade/ Chris Paul/ Gilbert ArenasSG- Kobe Bryant/ Michael ReddSF- LeBron James/ Shawn MarionPF- Chris Bosh/ Elton BrandC- Amare Stoudamire/ Dwight Howard/ Greg Oden
The kind of team we need is players that can hit the 3 and at the same time guard opposing players from the outside. This would be my team.C Ben Wallace/AmarePF Kevin Garnett/Tim DuncanSF Tracy Mcgrady/Lebron James/Josh HowardSG Kobe Bryant/Dwyane Wade/Ray AllenPG C. Billups/Dwyane Wade
pg-Chauncey Billups, Chris Paul, Kirk Hinrichsg-Kobe Bryant, tracy mcgrady, Michael Reddsf-Lebron James, Andre Igudalapf-Elton Brand, Chris BoshC-Dwight Howard, Amare StoudemireSomething like that.
Detroit won't be allowed to play the defense they are allowed to now. Duncan in 2004 was whistled for absolutely nothing.
