    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">INDIANAPOLIS -- Detroit Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince is expected to withdraw from consideration for the 2008 Olympic team within the next couple of weeks.

    Phoenix Suns CEO Jerry Colangelo, who also is in charge of assembling the players for Team USA, is expected to release a list of about 20 players during the NBA All-Star weekend (Feb. 18-19) who will be invited to training camp this summer. The roster will then be reduced to 12 for the 2006 World Championships in Japan, another possible qualifying tournament in 2007 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

    Colangelo has spoken with Prince, as well as Pistons teammates Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton about the Olympics.</div>

    Prince would've been a nice fit in a zone defense and with his shooting ability...

    Prince should've commit he's young and probably have chauncy as a teammate.
