    AP: Dwyane Wade called Jerry Colangelo and Mike Krzyzewski today to withdraw from Olympic team. He will need knee surgery.

    Yeah.
    I couldn't believe Wade declined so much this year.
    It must have been the knee.

    Increases chance for Harden to go.

    Gotta be either Westbrook or Harden.
    I'd go with Westbrook. He could KILL everyone in international competition with his style of play.
    EDIT: Actually on second thought they could both get in since Rose is also out. Haha.

    Heh, yeah, I guess I jumped the gun with assuming WB was going. I still think he is safe to make it, with how he played at Worlds.

    Anthony Davis should be on the team. They need a better defensive presence down low, especially with Dwight Howard out and the Spanish front court of both Gasols and Ibaka.

    I figure he wouldn't be on the Olympic team. I knew his knee was bothering him in the playoffs and it gotten worst during the finals but he fought through it. There's no way he's going to continue to play even more on his bad knee.

    I feel like this may be the last championship run for Dwade. They may make it next season but after that, Dwade is declining and Bosh will too as the OKC Thunders will get better, more confidence and more experience. After next year, it will be hard for the Miami Heat to compete with the OKC Thunders.

    No shock.......Wade was not right that during this run. He simply toughed it out in the Finals.

    I agree with this.

    He doesn't outright have to be on the team; but at least give him a try out.

    Anthony Davis was chosen to replace Dwight a while ago
