As LeBron James, Stephon Marbury and Shawn Marion are offered invitations to play for Team USA, Carmelo Anthony has been left out.  For the moment at least.

The latest invitations were made during selection committee conference call Tuesday.

Anthony is expected to be a strong candidate to fill a remaining slot and he would accept if invited.

"There are not a lot of players better than Carmelo left to be considered," the Denver Post?s source said.
