I assume you're basing this on the olympics/world championships...
Look at the American teams; typically, there were 6 swingmen, 4 power forwards and 2 shitty point guards. In essence, we've been sending the Knicks over.
Unless players here start CARING about international competition, or the coaches try assembling a team rather than the 12 biggest names that can be cajoled into going, that assumption is faulty.
Some foreign players come to the NBA and play terrifically. Sometimes they're Nikoloz Tskitizvili or Pavel Podkolzine.
I suppose all those Yugoslavian/Argentinian/German/Spanish players are turning down the $78 million guaranteed max contracts that they can get here on principle and love of country though, right?
