“They wanted a long term commitment. Right now, [my priority] is for the Golden State Warriors. I got kids. I got family. I got a life outside of basketball,”


“I worked hard. I worked hard in practice, I worked hard in the summer. Just trying to perfect my game, trying to get better,”



“So to commit three years to the Warriors and to Canada Basketball, it wouldn't make sense to me… I spend the whole time [during the] season with the Warriors, and summertime I get to decide.”





But I won't do no three year commitment, you know? If not — I wouldn't lose no sleep over it if they didn’t let me. If they didn't, that would be on them.”

France and Canada got the toughest draw among the contenders, being placed into the same group with pool-play games in Jakarta, Indonesia.


The French will open the World Cup in a vital game against Canada, which could have All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander plus key players Jamal Murray, RJ Barrett, Lu Dort and Dillon Brooks. National Collegiate Player of the Year Zach Edey of Purdue is also expected to be on the team.


damn we got screwed

2nd best or tied first best

Sheesh

Only if they played tho
They both committed to playing


"Senior Men’s National Team Summer Core

Nickeil Alexander-Walker

RJ Barrett

Khem Birch

Oshae Brissett

Dillon Brooks

Luguentz Dort

Zach Edey

Melvin Ejim

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Cory Joseph

Jamal Murray

Kelly Olynyk

Kevin Pangos

Dwight Powell"

Shai has said 100% he's playing this summer. Murray hasn't said anything but if they go to the finals, maybe he doesn't. Tournament isn't until end of August, but they're getting together end of July I think, and going to Europe and playing in a few exhibition tournaments

I know Mathurin, Nembhard, Boucher, and Banton have all said they wanna play too.

I always go to every game they have in the GTA, and Murray is at every game even though he wasn't playing. I know he was at their camps the last 2 summers as well
