OT Question about lockout/Team USA

[Calvin Klein]

I posted this on the general board but nobody seems to care I thought some of you kind fellow Suns fans would help another one.

If i'm not mistaken the lockout is supposed to happen right after this season, correct?

I was reading about team USA rosters and found this:

1998 World Championship The Dirty Dozen

The World Championship in Athens, Greece was different from the previous teams, as none of its players were current members of NBA teams. The team was nicknamed the "Dirty Dozen" for its work ethic and teamwork. Because of a labor dispute that led to a lockout, no active NBA players were permitted to compete in the tournament. Undrafted free agent Brad Miller was the only member of the team who would go on to have a successful NBA career. Some of the other team members, including Trajan Langdon, Kiwane Garris and Michael Hawkins had brief spells in the NBA. All went on to have careers in Europe, with Langdon being named to the Euroleague's All-Decade Team for the 2000s. This unheralded team, composed largely of players from American colleges, the minor-league Continental Basketball Association or European pro leagues, captured a bronze medal, considered a solid achievement given the team's lack of top-notch talent.

If the lockout happens (most likely) would this mean that there would be no NBA players playing the qualifying tournament for the Olympics?

And does the winner of 2010 World Championship earns a direct spot in the Olympics?

I'm guessing it will be volunteer based with no incentives so you would have guys like Lou Amundson, Dudley, etc who actually wouldn't mind doing it.

but it says there that "Because of a labor dispute that led to a lockout, no active NBA players were permitted to compete in the tournament."

This is kinda bothering me because 2011 qualifying tourny would be maybe my only chance to get to see these people play
