USA Basketball said:
All of these “friendlies” are part of the new Global Community Cup, which will include all USA Basketball exhibition games played outside of formal international competitions. Along with the games, the Global Community Cup features a social responsibility element that will highlight USA Basketball’s commitment to giving back to the communities they touch, in the U.S. or abroad.

Spain and Greece friendlies seem like bad ideas but presumably they're making money.
 
Brazil´s main squad schedule:

August 7/8 - Super 4 Tournament - Brasilia
August 11/13 - Nike Tournament - Nova York (US)

It´s a youth team and without the main youth players (like Juan Fernandez). They call this team "project 2014/18".
 
Australia win game two 85-71. Australia was winning by about 40 at one point.
 
Whatch out for this argentinian squad in the future. Because with this friendly games that this young kids are playing they are going to develope well as players and they are going to do as good as the gold generation they have now.
 
Let's not forget that Australia is missing a couple of pieces as well. Not nearly as many as Argentina, but it's not like they are at full strength. I've been impressed with the way the Boomers have played in the first two games. They had some defensive lapses in the second game with Argentina, but on the whole, they have been very good.

Outside of the US, I would like to see Australia do well in the WC.
 
Brasília international tournament 7-8 August:
- Brazil
- Venezuela
- Uruguay
- Angola
 
Lithuanian second team won against England 78:73. Renaldas Seibutis led the team with 29 points. Perhaps he's ready to join the main team and play in WC - we'll see.
