With it being in LA there’s no way Lebron and Steph aren’t on it for a victory lap

They will need to take it seriously and actually practice together over a few years during down times.

They won't though, and media will be asking what happened

Lebron is going to be retired before then.

Curry likely too.

Yeah look at the team as constructed vs the next generation. Will be a changing of the guard. International basketball is getting closer.

LeBron will be 44 or 45 and Steph 40 or 41. You really think they're doing a victory lap as you put it??

they are getting closer but you are acting like USA basketball has not already started to react to this. The program is in a very good spot with the next generation coming through

There’s no shot Tatum agrees to play in 2028 after receiving the shaft by team USA so the geriatric squad (LeBron, Durant, and Curry) could get their last few minutes of fame.

You can add Jaylen Brown to that list too.

Embiid and AD are very likely going to be washed by that point. I wouldn’t pencil them in. Big men don’t typically do well in their mid 30s.

Unlikely that street clothes AD is still playing in 2028.
