garnett did not want to play, Allen has a bad wheel and isnt really good enough anymore and Pierce was never considered nor do i ever remember him saying he wanted to play. Not to mention these guys are all fairly old by NBA standards and if you look at the teams makeup i dont think there is a player older than 30 except for Kidd. Kobe, Lebron, C. Paul, Deron Williams, Bosh, Howard, Boozer, Redd, Kidd, Prince, Anthony, and Dwayne Wade isnt the best team we could send? They actually picked a team made up of point guards (Kidd, Paul, Williams), Shooting guards (Kobe, Redd), Power Forwards (Boozer, Bosh) a real center (Howard), a defensive swingman who can hit the 3(Prince), a guy who can play 4 positions (LeBron), a guy who can play 3 positions (Wade), and a tough 2 way scorer (Anthony). They have put together a team that is a bit thin at Center but has working parts. I think they will be hard to beat.
