What’s Rondo’s issue with Team USA?

Rondo frustrated

For some reason, Rajon Rondo and USA Basketball can't seem to get on the same page.  After the "mis-communications" and subsequent resolution, There's some sort of issue again.

He was downright indecisive Sunday when it came to his possible
participation with the USA Basketball National Team that begins practicing
Monday in Las Vegas.




"I might not know until later tonight,'' Rondo told FanHouse late Sunday
afternoon. "I don't have a plane ticket yet, but I might still get
one.''




Rondo was in Miami for Dwyane Wade's Summer
Groove Charity Game, but he declined to play, even when fans started
chanting his name. He was on the bench dressed in basketball gear, but
showed no interest in joining his teammates on the court. He said he was
healthy.

I'm really curious about what the problem is here.  What's the issue?  Why can't this be resolved and Rondo be at Team USA's camp tomorrow in Vegas?  It's gotta happen.

And I'm not just saying that because I'm in Vegas for a couple more days and I personally want to see him play with all these guys (oh, the alley oops… there would be so many wonderful alley oops).  Ok, I am.
