WTMJ-Channel 4 in Milwaukee is reporting that a source within USA Basketball is reporting to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal that Bucks All-Star Michael Redd may be asked to fill the spot left open by the dropout of Kobe. I would expect an article in Friday's paper on this, and will post a link if it is in there. I would love Mike to play in the Olympics, he would be the 2nd Buck to play Ray Allen in 2000, Big Dogg was named to the team in 1996 but withdrew due to injury.
He would be a great addition. Team USA needs more perimeter players. A player like him or even Cassell would help out the team drastically. Hopefully, he'll decide to go. Being on the Olympic team is an major honor, I doubt he'll turn down the offer.
I think Redd would be a great addition to the team. His great 3 point shot would be a good threat. He also seems like a very unselfish and a team player. Give him the chance.
I'd like to see him in the Olympics. He should have been invited earlier. It is sad that all the really great players are dropping out. I was looking forward to seeing them all on the same team. PEACE

I am worried about his 3point shooting because the 3point line is shorter than in the NBA. It might kinda confuse him, sorta.
Redd deserves to go to the olympics,and he would be a great addition to team USA,I think he is the missing piece of the team.I also think team USA needs a primary defensive player like Ben Wallace or Ron Artest.
Redd all the way. Much like Miller, it'd be nice to bring a class act nice guy with skills into the Olympics. He'll show them what offense and effort is all about. I look forward to seeing him shoot their lights out.
Against the zone, a shooter would help clear the low post. It will give the big men more space to operate. I say give him his due.
redd is an awesome player. I am happy they are giving him his props and letting him go. lets go Code Red.
USA Basketball has asked Lamar Odom and Richard Hamilton to fill the final two spots Odom will accept the invite, but Hamilton hasn't spoke about it, obvious reasons why. Hamilton may decide not to go due to the length of his season already. If Rip declines, USA Basketball will then invite Michael Redd to the team, not Carmelo Anthony Come on Rip! Decline! Link
