Winning does make a big difference. There's no denying that.
But if a winning Raptors club is compared against a winning American club, I would assume the decision to join the Raptors would still be difficult. As trivial as the metric system, taxation, no ESPN, Canadian anthem, etc. sound to us, they do have a negative impact to American players (if all else is equal).
As Canadians, wouldn't you rather work in your home country than work in New Guinea? And yes, to ignorant Americans, comparing Canada to New Guinea probably isn't much of an exaggeration.
