To be fair.  I didn't see anything in these reports on why this info was made known in public.  It could have been leaked from some low level administration staff with team USA and they felt like they had to make a statement and explain their action.

He didn't even get an invite to the training camp where they will select the team and backup members.  On the other hand, had he been invited then not make the team it would have been a bigger embarrassment.

Personally I don't think Melo is looking to re-establish himself for the NBA using the Olympics as a vehicle.  NBA teams are not going to change their perception based on his performance on these games.  They know what he can and cannot do.  Melo is not going to get a farewell tour like the one DWade got last season, he knows that.  I think he is just trying to play and end his career on a positive note, instead of being traded ten games in and waived.  He would have done whatever necessary for team USA to win.
