Adding Gordon is okay because he was born in England. The limit in the Olympics is one naturalised player, which would be Deng.

"some big scottish bloke who played for the grizzlies" would be Robert Archibald.

Link to an ESPN story about the British attempt to qualify for the 2012 Olympics.

I know that Derek Rucker played as an import for the Birmingham Bullets many years ago, in between his NBL stints.

Import eligibility is a bit different, they have a two-import limit, but European leagues can play anyone who can get a passport from any European country as a "local". If any of the "Americans" had a European parent or grandparent they could get a passport and become an instant local. Or they could be like JR Holden, an "American" who plays for CSKA and Russia, they just gave him a passport so he could play for the national team. David Andersen also plays for CSKA as a "local" as he has a Danish passport, so in addition to these two, CSKA fields two Americans as their imports.
