I'm curious about how the program treats the Pan American games: they're in July in Toronto next year (ending about a week ahead of FIBA). It might be worth Canada treating it as a warm-up series, ride home-court advantage into a bit of momentum and confidence, and use playing infront of a home-town crowd as extra incentive for these guys to come out. It basically means a 1 month plus commitment, though. At the very least, they could field a full team of international guys for Pan-Am, see who looks ready, and then swap in the half-dozen or so NBA guys after the Pan-Ams, before the FIBA Americas.

It would be a paper transaction ...
Plus, masai is in the business of winning bball games, not the "aww isn't that cute" business. Furthermore, why would nash give a rats ass about retiring a raptor he's from bc with no affiliation to the team he had a chance to sign here and didn't.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

What happens if our wings suffer huge injuries? Even without injuries casey will use him for a few minutes here and there based on thr situation, nice havingall those options on the bench.

Dwight Powell ended up being on Boston's fifteen man roster. Birch was the last cut for Miami. Heslip and Bhullar were unsurprising cuts for Minnesota and Sacramento (although Bhullar's been given a d-league spot). Seems like a lot of Miami fans are pissed off about Birch getting cut; not surprising, given that he's one of those lunchbucket, defense and rebounding guys that fans are quick to root for.

NBA opening day rosters have 13 Canucks on them by my count: Powell, Olynyk, Dalembert, Joseph, Thompson, Anthony, Wiggins, Bennett, Stauskas, Ennis, Nicholson, Sacre, and Nash (still collecting a pay cheque but not playing).
Without research, I believe that is the biggest total yet for Canadians. Looking at the list more closely, that's a lot of part time players and scrubs, not one average NBA regular, stats wise, in the whole list. Of the current group, I think Stauskas and Wiggins could someday be average NBA starters.
