Depends a lot on who wants to come back and what Star now wants to play. Someone like Wade can steal a spot from someone. It may not hurt to add another big.

Overall the current team should be given 1st choice.

I believe that
LBJ
Melo
Dwight
Amare
Kidd
Kobe
Redd
Chauncey
Tayshaun

are pretty much locks for the team with Mike Miller,Tyson Chandler and Deron Williams being the 3 that might be decided between to get Bosh and Wade onto the team.

It wouldn't surprise me if Durant made the Olympic roster, especially if he puts up big numbers in Oklahoma City, oops I mean Seattle?

Mike Miller, Tayshaun, Tyson Chandler, and Chauncey are on the ropes as far as the olympics go.

Mike Miller will most likely go because he shot poorly during the tournament.

Tyson Chandler is not in as bad as a position as Miller, but Bosh could easily take his spot.

Tayshaun got boards and played defense, but his shot was inconsistent.

Chauncey slowed tempo at the right times and was a good distributor, but his shot was also very inconsistent.

I'm not sure Coach K is as concerned about having 12 shooters as Flip Saunders is. There may be room for someone or two who can distribute, get boards, and play defense.
