Pretty cool we have 2 nominations for dream team.

Roy's nowhere on that list. He's just on the practice squad. He's listed as a dream-team option with other guys not on it like Garnett, Artest, Baron Davis, Rip, AI, T-Mac, and Shaq for fans to vote on instead of the actual team.

Seems to be an extreme lack of outside shooting on his projected roster... again. Michael Redd as their best outside option? And not really even that great. Kobe's average from range, Kidd's average from range, LeBron's less than average from range unless he's "feeling it", Wade's terrible from range. Maybe with the 3-point line being closer it's a bit different.

They should get rid of Carmelo and Redd altogether.

No, as far as I am concerned, there was only one dream team. There has not been that talented of a group of NBA players since.

Ywp, not even close. More than raw talent, which I think today's players could rival, it was their grittiness, intellegence, will to work hard, win and share the ball that made that team so special. A lot of today's players are winy brats.

Yeah, Barkley in particular was not afraid to kick the *** of any foreigner that got in his way of the gold medal. He wasn't there to be nice and to make friends with the Euros. The US needs more players on the roster with that mentality.

I agree- Carmelo's a talent- though his talent is often ignored by the character police.
