I'll just copy + paste what I put in the other thread.
Just another reason not to have FIBA every summer. I want the best players in the World ready for the NBA season, not puting off surgery to play for a second-tier title (yes, that even includes the Olympics).
Guys like Kobe, Ginobli, and Yao should be resting over the summer and preparing for the grueling 82 game NBA season.

to guys like ginobli, yao, and even parker, the olympics and playing for their country is not a "second-tier" title.

Maybe Ginobli should give back the MILLIONS that the Spurs pay him every year and just concentrate on playing for Argentina if it's more important to him. Besides, it's all about pride, not the money, right?
Well, this is what the Spurs were fearing, but if he gets it done fast, the Spurs should be fine as long as it heals properly. The Spurs always manage. They'll be fine.

because he refused to take much more money from other teams to sign with spurs when he was a free agent right?
come on now, 9 m /yr for a 20 ppg player. scrubs like luol deng and ak47 gets paid much for than that.
