Raps should play a couple of regular season games in Montreal every year.

While I want Montreal to get an NBA franchise, getting a G-league team might be a nice first step if the Long Island Nets move. There has always been strong ties between Brooklyn and Montreal, this might make a lot of sense.

Hope they get folks to show up to the games. Sometimes big city people don't go to minor league games in a big city because they are used to seeing high end sports. So attendance may not be a barometer of what big league ball in Montreal would draw.

Not even normal minor leagues, g league basketball is just tough to watch. European basketball is of much higher quality and college basketball has much worse players, but both are far superior products.
