Halos inaasahan na ng mga tao na papasok sila sa kampeonato.

"We just always try to look for the best talent available," sabi ng team owner na si Raymond Yu. "It may not come from the draft, kasi palagi kaming huli sa draft, di ba? So we would look for free agents, we would look for ex-pros, and just try to have a good, balanced line-up."
