Everything Is Fine For Team USA - Trae Young And Isiah Thomas Are Now Subtweeting The Team For Leaving Trae Off The Roster Because Of His Old Coach

Things right now are not great for Team USA. No Bradley Beal, Jerami Grant is in health and safety protocol and the game tonight against Australia is canceled. On top of that, we've looked awful. I said it before, I don't want to hear the 'talent gap has shrunk' because we still have All-NBA players across the roster. I don't want to hear 'other teams play together all the time' because it's just false. Nigeria is made up of dudes that didn't grow up playing together. Basically our biggest problems are:

1. We don't have a ton of play makers 

2. These guys aren't used to being secondary players

3. Perimeter defense has been dog shit

4. Jayson Tatum is awful for Team USA

Yep, I singled out Jayson Tatum. Go ahead and put your Celtics spin on it Greenie and green team members. He *should* be awesome in international play with his ability to create, size and shoot. Nope. He's shooting awful, he's turning it over a ton and just been bad. So Team USA needs help, badly. Yeah, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton and Devin Booker are coming. That'll help. But still gotta replace Bradley Beal and maybe Jerami Grant now. 

That's where Trae is trying to come in. He clearly wants to play, which was a bit of a problem trying to build this team with people saying no. Now comparing yourself to Isiah being left off the Dream Team? I get it, but not really the best. Yeah Lloyd Pierce is an assistant for this team and there's a conspiracy theory that's why Trae wasn't selected at all. But we're talking about Isiah being one of the best point guards ever being left off because he didn't shake MJ's hand. So how does Isiah respond here?

Yeah, that's about right. Isiah is a world class asshole. I wouldn't expect him to respond any other way. Honestly, I wish Trae would just call out Pierce for leaving him off the roster. Go at your old coach, especially since Nate McMillan just signed a contract. All I know is this Team USA needs help. I don't care about vendettas, just get the best players and let's go win a god damn gold medal.
