Couldn't find a thread on this but figured might as well start one. Hopefully, some of the guys make rosters. I'm never up to date on the foreign guys that we have draft rights to, so if someone wanted to add those. That would be great. I only found info on 3 current Rockets and 2 FA's linked on the prelim rosters of their countries. USA: Eric Gordon, John, Wall, Christian Wood https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...ng-stars-committed-to-play-in-tokyo-olympics/ I think any of those 3 on the USA team would be good news. Maybe Wall and Gordon make a splash to help their trade value. Also Wood, wouldn't be asked to score as much as do other things which he needs to work on. Canada: Kelly Olynyk https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/20...training-camp-roster-for-olympics-qualifiers/ Olynyk playing is interesting. He could easily cash in this off season, so it is risk to play in the Olympics in another shortened off season. I also don't know much more he could improve is value compared to his stint with the Rockets. He will probably be to expensive for Houston to sign regardless. Australia: Dante Exum https://www.espn.com/olympics/story...en-simmons-australian-boomers-squad-announced Exum was hurt, so him being listed in on their camp may not actually happen. Anyways, he was never in the Rockets plans. So, I hope he is healthy and maybe show Ben Simmons how to make a jump shot in a game.
Rooted for Yao against USA, and did not feel guilty about it either. But Chinese guards dumb. Not get ball to Yao.
After everything Exum has done for the Rockets I'm sure I speak for all of us: it would be amazing to see him represent the Rockets and win a Gold for 'straylia Also will the USA team pick up Patrick Fertitta to GM?
That is why Jerry was worshipped, guard play was always the weakness. Your team is only as good as your guards normally.
