we were just discussing this in the office. Newly retired players w/college standouts would be interesting -- nm - Remlik Aug 4, 10:42 3
- Reminds me of my college prez from undergrad days. He was well into his 50s but a former varsity player. Regularly schooled the young guys. - Baron of the Rings Aug 4, 11:12
- Right. The best international players aren't in this, either. So, there's no excuse for Team USA's performance. - David Aug 4, 10:51 1

I would think we’d have a few 28yr old not-quite’s good enough but a 44yr old Lebron still probably ices them. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 10:31 3
- People like Carmelo and him make the most sense, but they're so rich that I don't know whether they need the aggravation. - David Aug 4, 10:41 2
  - "whether they need the aggravation." seems to be pervasive on veteran NBA Teams. Many with their moneybags and titles already in hand -- nm - budice Aug 4, 10:44 1
    - Basically remaining in the NBA and cashing in on celebrity. Plus a rare title run in the later years -- nm - budice Aug 4, 10:48
