Season 38 Free Agents Announced



The Season 38 Draft is already assured of being an exciting one, as no less than eight starters, including both active Hall of Famers, will be included with the 16 rookies in this season's draft.

It could be a short stay at the top for the defending champion Seattle Stampede, which lost two of its famous "Three Amigos," the most damaging being last season's playoff MVP, center Dis Reflexia, who is among the top centers in the league, if not THE top center.

Also taking big hits in the free agent department were Houston (Bakshi), Charleston (Payne), Oklahoma City (Jell-o)and Dallas (Shame), to say nothing of San Jose, which lost its MVP, center George Gershwin.

FLY DAVIA NAMED NEW COACH OF MILWAUKEE
The Milwaukee Greyhounds have announced the firing of Raisin Sport as coach and the hiring of first-time coach Fly Davia.
The Greyhounds have had four consecutive 5-5 seasons and have the longest streak (six seasons) of not making the playoffs in the MBA. On the other end of the spectrum, they also boast the longest consecutive string of seasons without posting a losing record (nine).
Weird combo, eh? We'll see how Davia does.
One thing Milwaukee has going for it is they are the only MBA team to have no retirements and no players lost to free agency. Seemingly, they can only get better in the talent department.
Raising Sport has been head coach since the second half of Season 23. He has compiled a regular season record of 76-69 which included East Division first-place finishes in Seasons 30 and 32. He has had four playoff appearances at the helm, getting to the finals in Season 32. But he could never get Milwaukee, which has the second-most titles withe seven, a championship. At one point this franchise was dominant with Philadelphia, but their last championship was in Season 18.
