Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant is expected to commit to Team USA for the Tokyo Olympics this summer, sources tell me and @anthonyVslater. Durant averaged 34.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists over 12 games this postseason.

Is Raymond really supposed to be on this roster?
Bam made it this time. Guess Pop decided he was finally "ready". Sorry, Mason Plumlee.
I'm not a big Draymond fan, but he actually could fit really well in the Olympics as a glue guy....play some defense, set some screens, bring a little toughness. Just be a guy on the floor who isn't trying to prove he is a superstar, but rather just make the team work.
So Durant, Lillard, Beal, Booker, Green, Tatum....sounds like Adebayo is in as well.
That alone should be good enough for gold.
Edit: Looks like Curry pulled out.

Even Pop couldn't screw that up, right?

Nets star James Harden has committed to play for Team USA in the Tokyo Olympics, joining teammate Kevin Durant on the USAB squad, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Kyrie Irving is unlikely to play as he recovers from his ankle injury.

Durant doing 50 minutes and now gonna play in the summer Commercialization Games?
Are skinny f's really that easy to heal from Achilles or is medical technology just so much better?
I'm blown away by this.
No way Harden was gonna pass up the Olympic Village and them Tokyo strip clubs.
Props to those committing even though don’t like all of them. Live near DC and Beal is the real deal as a scorer. Him and Durant alone plenty of offense.
This is surprising and awesome so many guys are signing up to play in the Olympics.
maybe they heard the rumblings that this might be Pop’s swan song so they want to help him go out in style?!
You think any of them give a about playing under Pop for the Olympics? That's cute. Just doing what their agents tell them.
Their agents work for them, not the other way around.
but your idea most definitely could have validity to it……just like my silly “cute” one could.
either way it’s cool to see so many really good players signing up to play and hopefully everyone who participates for every country makes it back injury free

Milwaukee guard Jrue Holiday has committed to play for Team USA in the Summer Olympics, source tells ESPN.

Anthony Davis Out (not expected to join the Olympic Squad)
Starters: Durant, Tatum/Middleton, Adebayo, Harden, Lillard
Bench: Beal, Middleton/Tatum, Green, Booker
Deep bench: Holiday, Love
One spot left. Sounds like it belongs to George first, Lowry second.
Has Love been confirmed? I read the report about rumors but I thought it said no official invite had been given yet.
For balance, Beal should actually start and Harden should be 6th man, but for stature/ego purposes, I'm not sure they'll have a player of the latter's magnitude come off the bench for a non all timer.
Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, Kevin Love commit to Team USA; one spot left on roster (espn.com)

Gracias
I guess big men aren't essential to a team anymore...not that there are any left with any talent anyways.
Bam and Love I guess is as good as it gets.
