I think drawing Brazil or Slovenia would be worse honestly.

 

Anyway, Canada has no excuse to not win this time.

 

Depends who decides to show up.

 

The other explanation is that we're just not good enough.

I think hosting and the chance to play in front of their public will be a good reason for nba stars to participate

I'm not so sure about that, especially with some of them playing in the NBA play-offs, but the fact we're hosting means our federation will be pushing hard for them to play.

Teams with high paid NBA players have to pay a lot of money for their insurance anyway, so why not add a few million euros to play the OQT at home.

Any player who doesn’t show up for this can just be written off by the national team forever.

Not sure what to think about this investment.  I don't see us as "safe" qualifiers, even if we avoid some fo the best from Europe.

Does anyone has info on which day will be the draw for the tournaments?
