SEASON OUTLOOK

With Yao Ming moving on to bigger and better hospitals, one of Nephi's primary needs on draft day was a dominant big man to compliment returning shooting guard Brandon Roy. And when Nephi's #8 pick came around, owner Justin Banks didn't waiver in his decision to draft Chris Bosh for a full 7 or 8 seconds, at which point he changed his pick to Amar'e Stoudemire.

"Chris is coming off a career year with Park City, and he's really going to fit in here nicely," expounded Banks. "Wait, did I say Chris? I meant Amar'e. And when I said he is coming off a career year with Park City, I meant he is coming off a disappointing season in which a freak eyeball injury caused him to miss the playoffs and derail Park City's Concludings chances. Same difference."

Joining Roy and Bosh, er, Stoudemire on the Stratagem starting line will be a young nucleus of Rajon Rondo, Rudy Gay and LaMarcus Aldridge. The always unconventional Nephi management also surprised many when they used a late round draft pick to bring back disgraced former star Tracy McGrady as a team health advisor.

Bayside Tigers

.













TEAM: Bayside Tigers
CONFERENCE AFFILIATION: World Conference
OWNER: Rich Lachowsky
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: West Valley Squackboxes, 05-06 4th Place; Bayside Tigers, 06-07 WFBL Champs, 07-08 10th Place, 08-09 12th Place
LOCATION: Bayside, California
ARENA: Richard Belding Memorial Arena
MOTTO: C'mon everybody, let's do the... the Sprain!
MOST-HATED RIVAL(s): SnowBees, Abominables, Iguanas

SEASON OUTLOOK

Bayside faithful had better become familiar with default starters Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, Mehmet Okur, and returnees Caron Butler and Baron Davis. Barring any unforeseen philosophy changes by Rich Lachowsky, this will be their starting 5 for the duration of the season. The famously loyal owner has made a habit of sticking with his starters through thick and thin, injury and health, hot streaks and slumps.

Davis, who was certain his two year stay in Bayside had at last come to end, was shocked when Bayside's number came up on draft day and he happened to be the best available player at one of their vacant positions. What are the chances? Still, the now third year Tiger has confessed he could handle another year in Southern California—on one condition.

"Would it kill Rich to give me a week off every now and then?" opined Davis. "Last season my shooting hand got caught in a table sander, and he still refused to sit me. Let me tell you, it took considerable skill to shoot 37% from the field with this mangled, skinless paw."

Celebrating 5 seasons in the WFBL, and one of the WFBL's original four franchises, the Bayside Tigers have finished at or near the bottom of the pile year after year, save their legendary run during the 2007 playoffs. And that one fluky brush with success has given Lachowsky the confidence to stay the course. After all, however bumpy the road gets, he'll always have 2007.
