You're underselling this. Nurse also has basically said if you aren't interested in next summer and world cup then check back in 2025. If they stick to that, it could pay big dividends. Qualifying for the Olympics at the world cup would solve a lot of Canada's issues.
Hopefully the big guns commit (Murray and SGA) and I think we'll qualify at the World Cup. Luckily it seems like the Americas teams are all on a downswing except USA and Canada. Argentina isn't the powerhouse it used to be.

As it should be. If we end up with lesser talent it will be offset by the familiarity with the program/team/coach/offense/defense.

Some talent infusion would definitely help.. but we need to get bigger too. Hopefully for the Worlds we get Birch and Boucher. Maybe even Edey who was our best player in the U19 games.
Edey definitely seems worth a flyer, but not sure he'll be ready for next year.

Tristan Thompson is the big we actually need, but Birch would be nice also. Boucher isn't a C and would do nothing to stop the 260+ goliaths we face in international ball. I'd still like him on the squad but more for his offense and long arms getting into passing lanes. If a 7' big posts him up he's not gonna be able to offer much resistance.

On the bright side, gives the guys plenty of time to practice and play together.

yeah but on the not-bright side, four of those windows are during the NBA season so the teams are likely to cobbled together with players from whatever leagues are in their offseason's at that time, and coached by randoms.

I guess we'll be seeing the Scrubb brothers back in action.

I have no idea what FIBA's business model is, but its the most effective way to make fans not pay attention or give a single shit. No one wants to watch "national" teams without any of the nations good players on them.

Every decent Canadian basketball player goes to the USA to play ball. You'd be televising some horrendous basketball.
