I agree it’s not a great idea but just for completely different reasons than you’re suggesting 
The Thompson twins are probably going to play for Jamaica.
If they want to play together that makes the most sense, as chances both get picked to USA are slim. Also they’ve proven they don’t mind taking a different path (OTE)
We’ll see if Tatum even wants to play after the last go round. Guessing if Kerr is back then Tatum is not back. Personally I’d prefer Spoelstra get a shot.
In if they want:
Ant
Tatum
In if they continue on their current track:
Hali
Cade
Chet
Next tier, could prove to be too good to leave off:
Jalen Williams
JJJ
Mobley
Donovan Mitchell
Amen
Old heads that can probably get a spot if they are not in obvious steep decline and want to:
Booker
Durant
AD
Steph/Lebron
Guys I don’t like but will get strong consideration:
Brunson
Paolo
Role players I hope get a good look:
Herb Jones
Cason Wallace
Jaden Mcdaniels
Couple of these guys could emerge but idk who:
Bane
Reaves
Braun
Herro
Jalen Johnson
Jabari Smith
Ausar
Maxey
Jalen Wells
Flagg
Keegan Murray
Barnes
Bigs:
Myles Turner
Bam
Jarrett Allen
Derek Lively
Kessler
Clingan
Duren
Maybe 2032:
Boozer
Dybantsa
Peterson
probably forgot someone here so don’t be mad at me

You did better than I did since you remembered Jalen Williams, Mobley and Mitchell. I could see Mobley making the squad as the 3rd big behind Chet and JJJ.
I think KD, and LeBron will be retired by the summer of '28. Steph could still be viable but I think he’ll probably take a pass.
