They will win with or without Knick players

Bosh fits the International style well. He can hit an outside jumper and play the 5. Much better fit then Blake Griffin. Also no ALdrige and Howard because of injuries

C Kevin Love

PF Lebron

SF Durant

SG Kobe Bryant

PG Chris Paul

Dwayne Wade

Carmelo Anthony

Tyson Chandler

Deron Williams

Russel Westbrook

Chris Bosh

Andre Igulodala

Is Bosh on this list because of who he knows personally?

Stars are on the olympics.

It helps his branding and further validates the starphuch.

IM sure he and MDA will get along just fine. Both have reputations to maintain.

Soap Opera.

What a selfish tool.

While Dwyane Wade said yesterday that “guys should be compensated” for playing in the Olympics, Carmelo Anthony has an entirely different opinion.

It’s a lot of things you do for the Olympics — a lot of jerseys you sell. We play the whole summer. I do think guys should be compensated. Just like I think college players should be compensated as well. Unfortunately, it’s not there. But I think it should be something, you know, there for it.”- Dwyane Wade

When asked about his opinion today, this is what longtime olympian Carmelo Anthony had to say about the games.

I’ve been dealing with USA Team since I was 16, and I haven’t gotten paid yet and it’s been good to me. Everybody has their own opinion about it. It don’t matter to me if I get a check or not. Im still going to go play. ”

Carmelo’s reasoning on why he’ll play for no pay.

Because I want to play. This is bigger than anything. Especially this time around for us to go over there to try to redeem ourselves and try to get that gold once agains, this is a big one. And it’s London, who doesn’t want to go to London.”
