i think they got the right 2 players and yes Odom would have made it if he wasnt out for so long.

Lamar Odom>Josh Howard...It's bullshit that they didn't consider Odom cuz he was out with injury. Especially if you consider that Melo was out for almost as long, and Josh Howard missed his share of games as well...In my opinion, Odom's reputation alone should have gotten him in. from leading the USA team, to shutting down+outperforming Shaw Marion in the playoffs last season... but did I expect him to make it? Of course not...PeACe
