Team USA humiliated. First loss since 2006.

Mason Plumlee made the team. Does anything else even need to be said?

I could see the Celtics falling in love with Plumlee and overpaying him.

Based on what, exactly? What history do we have of overpaying role player bigs?

Travis Knight, haha.

Blount comes to mind....

Well Danny didn't sign him but he traded for and loved Raef LaFrentz for some reason, a for-the-time, massively overpaid role playing big.

Ugh, don't remind me. I was a huge Antoine fan and we traded him for Raef.

Luckily, it all worked out in the end. We won a championship in '08 and Toine won as the 3rd best player on the Heat in '06.

Per the subject - we never did draft or sign him, but Robert Swift was reportedly a Danny fave.

"humiliated..." The level of arrogance in that statement..
