Sit out Bosh. You won in '08. Rest and get ready for a repeat. 8-)

TBH I don't want any of our players in the Olympics. They need to rest and re-tool for next season.

I mean hell LBJ's legs barely made it through the Finals... He doesn't need extra mileage on them during the Olympics.

Same. But LeBron's already made up his mind.

You next Lebron. Let Durant and Westbrook tire themselves out carrying Team USA.

LeBron is not the type of person to sit out of the Olympics unless he has an injury.

LeBron will take us to the gold medal then rest.

There's no way Lebron skips it. It means too much to his brand worldwide. He also really likes the experience. The whole reason he switched to 6 was because it was his olympic number, and before the title, the gold medal he won was the biggest thing he had won in his career.

Plus Team USA NEED him and Durant. Not much left in the cupboard at this point.

Just hope Coach K doesn't pull a coach Spo and play Lebron a ton of minutes.

I think Spo and Riley are going to have to shut Lebron down to start the season though, just so he can get his legs.

I think Coach K won't play LeBron too many minutes. It's the freaking USA team, we've got tons of depth. I wish he wouldn't play too though but everyone and their grandmother would complain if he wasn't complaining (despite talking trash about how terrible he is the past few years).

Thank goodness. After his abdominal injury, I don't want him taking any unnecessary risk with his health. Isn't team USA practicing like in a few days?

Eh..

LeBron in the olympics is like LeBron in the All Star game. The goal is to not play him too many mins, but usually ends up playing the most.
