    Good thing for the publicity, but bad for his body?

    No good, especially with his health concerns.

    He needs to perpetually work on his game, not dominate scrubs.

    I don't like this. Probably doing it to help repair his image.

    Dwight's the only Rocket to play every game this season, yet at his age and size, I don't know how good of an idea this is. If anybody needs to play for the summer team it's Parsons and T. Jones. I feel like playing overseas has really helped players better their game.

    Its a great honor to have a player that is a lock for that roster any day of the week, and a great way to represent his country, but damn.... I dunno... I think his body could really use the rest more than anything.

    Still, its very exciting to have a Rocket on this team, and it looks like they are going to dominate this Summer.

    I don't like it, but I understand if he wants to represent his country and play in the world's premier sporting event. Hardly anyone would say no. :(

    Guys, where is your national pride?? I don't want Dragic exhausted or possibly hurt too, but it would be a national catastrophe if he didn't join his NT...

    Yep. Gotta get that campaign back up and running again.

    Didn't you know? The NBA championship each year is determined by the popular vote.
