Only the winners of the 25th August-Sept. 8 World Championships in Turkey receives an automatic 2012 Olympic berth.

So if this watered-down U.S. entry, one that the Heat's Wade, James and Bosh, among others missing in one of his co-Round should stumble Games - mean in the round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals or finals - it would that again next summer's Tournament of the Americas in Argentina, to qualify a route Prime U.S. stars certainly prefer to avoid.

But next summer, the chances for success may even be further diluted, with Team USA not be completely consistent with the second stage of NBA stars, as is this year, but even with no NBA stars.

In 1998, in the midst of an NBA lockout, USA had NBA talent to give the World Cup. The result, of a motley team of U.S. professionals overseas, minor leaguers and colleagues, was a bronze medal.

Third place in next summer at the Tournament of the Americas was not enough for a 2012 Olympic berth, depending on how the teams fare in America this summer in Turkey.

Should it send a lock next summer, which, at least for now, appears likely, the work plan for the U.S. to a basketball team of collegiate players to represent the United States. This plan would be even more complicated, with NBA Draft selection is not likely to be competitive.

Remember that although all NBA players, regardless of national affiliation, would probably from international competition next summer in case of a lockout, which would not apply to non-NBA professionals internationally on the other teams in the Americas region.

And without a gold in the next World Cup or a sufficiently high rank in the next summer in Argentina, it would mean a last chance Olympic qualifying tournament in 2012, held that it was likely within the next few weeks if not days, after the 2012 NBA Finals.

As Wade, James, Bosh and other NBA stars circumvented this summer to participate, the objective of a long break from international competition was created.

Instead, nothing could be less than a gold medal in Turkey, the current road do less for the likes of Wade, James and Bosh in one of the toughest in the U.S. went in the years basketball. And that could rethink the Heat's of U.S. basketball commitments.

A loss in Turkey in September, along with a loss of worker bargaining table in the coming months, could the NBA the best literally play all year round basketball in 2012, go directly to the NBA Finals in Olympic qualifying for the London Games themselves .

Gold in Turkey is not only a goal, it seems essential.

The road to London could be as simple as an eighth Celebrate September, or a way that results in a basketball marathon out to 24 on the next few months will be played.
