they might prefer it but i feel like most organizations understand what a big deal the olympics are... i think it's different than the world's or qualifying tournaments where teams and agents might put more pressure on guys to sit out.

All the big stars in the US are lining up to go.. so that will just ensure that Canada gets its best too.
Besides we've seen players suite up and play even after going to the finals.
MJ/Barkley were in the finals and still played for the Dream Team in 96. There were two Olympics ('00 and '04 where that didn't happen).
But then, Kobe played in 2008 (was in the finals against the Celtics). In 2012 Lebron, KD, Harden, Russ all played (Thunder/Heat were in the finals). In 2016 Kyrie, Klay, Draymond, Barnes played (Cavs/Warriors final). Olympics were in 2021 next because of Covid yet Booker, Middleton and Jrue played (Suns/Bucks final).

Phil had zero turnovers to go with is 8 dimes, he was second on the team with a plus 28 and led the team in EFF with 20. Very valuable player in these qualifying windows.
World Championships / Olympics ...
I would be curious to know if you asked Guys like Phil who love Canada Basketball .. If " you "not going to the Olympics may
help Canada win a medal will you say hell yes lets do what ever it takes ?
To me the Olympics are like NBA playoffs and pre Olympics and the summer is the trade deadline day ... Do you upgrade
your roster at the cost of a player who has been on the team all NBA season ... the answer is yes and that should also
appy to the Olympics and NBA players not on the team last summer .
