I'm excited to see how our team will do with these two additions. If we can also get Juan Mendez, Denham Brown, Dave Thomas and maybe even Dalembert to come back than maybe Canada could make some real noise in 2010.

why does steve nash not play with canada anymore ? maybe his ego was too high during his back to back MVP seasons and almost winning a championship but now the pheonix suns are back to being a mediocre team again and the national team should really try inviting him to play for them . i think they have a good chance of reaching the 1/8 finals with him coming and the additions of magloire,bonner and maybe canada can naturalize an NBA scorer instead of dalembert since they have good big guys now and dalembert fought with the coach last year . This is a chance for canada to become 1 of the worlds best . In the end it was James Naismith(canadian) who invented the game of basketball and canada should always show the world that they are among the best cuz they really have the players for that . trust me basketball is more fun watching than hockey ....

Let's see how many players jump into the Canada bandwagon

Wow, it's been so long that I'd almost forgotten that Magloire was Canadian. It's too bad he didn't play for them when he was good. Bonner's a pretty good pickup, gives them a more offensively skilled big man.

Sooo true.

The way Magloire has been these last years, WC will be like summer league for him.

Bonner will be nice fit in the international game... Magloire... Even if he's half healthy he'd be a nice big body there but hopefully you don't give him big minutes.. Nash will have his last stint with Canada in this WC right? Or no?

Nash is getting close to 35 years old. He played a decade for the Canadian National team. That's more than you could ask of almost any player. I guess Nash's falling out with the national team came when Jay Triano was fired as head coach of team Canada. Anyways, nothing concrete has been said one way or another about his participation in the worlds.

Thanks for that info. i know he's old but this could very well be his farewell stint for the NT--- that would be a sight to see. Here's hoping he still suits up for the Canadian team as they'd be even more competitive if he plays for them.
