    He probably wanted to avoid the embarrassment of not being picked to go to the Olympics. He was already embarrassed by not being pick for All NBA team.

    Look at it this way, maybe this means that he's finally starting a family and will get his head straight

    Is D'Antoni going to coach in the Olympics?

    I hope he's not going for being left off the all NBA team.. That should send a big FU to the NBA for the way they have treated him the past 2 years

    The dude needs a break he's played a lot of games a lot of minutes and he's basically our whole offense he deserves a break he's played a lot of basketball. But he does need to come in fresh then at the start of the year.

    Why go to the Olympics when you can hit up strip clubs all summer long?

    He got a break last year and came into camp fat and out of shape.

    So both Curry and Harden withdrew. No more meaningless comparison now.

    Hopefully all the big names don't withdraw. I want atleast 1 of my teams to be good this year.

    No Thibs to coach him in defense during the summer. D'Antoni coaching offense only for the season. You know what this means: more James Harden defensive juggernaut highlights!

    Who knows? Maybe Harden and D'Antoni scheduled some Xs and Os practices in August.

    The players that aren't going to the Olympics can beat the US team that is going to the Game.

    I wonder how much in shape will Harden be in at the start of next season.

    Look at the bright side. Harden benefited from the World Championship games 2 years ago, or whatever they were called, and maybe that would be true now; but he won't wear down as much next season.

    He needs to concentrate on the Rockets anyway. :)
