NBA announces 30th team: Montreal Hyenas

The NBA announced today in a press conference its plans to add the 30th team of the league – the Hyenas. The Hyenas will reside in the city of Montreal, making it the third NBA team based in Canada.

According to NBA commissioner David Stern, the Hyenas won’t be undergoing an expansion draft but are instead going to sign NBA free agents. In addition, their 1st round pick in the upcoming 1996 draft will be locked in the Top 5 – meaning the worst pick they could get is the 5th. Moreover, they will also be rewarded by the 1st round picks of the two teams that will participate in the NBA Finals which will be the 29th and 30th pick.
It has also been planned to remake Molson Centre to be the home of the Hyenas.

The Hyenas have also hired a general manager in the name of David Parker. This came as a surprise for NBA executives because of Parker’s history and lack of managerial skills. Word around the league is that Parker is actually seen by a lot of people as crazy and erratic.

“He [Parker] spews a lot of bullshit when you talk to him. His eyes are always wide and his hands are always shaking, it’s like he hasn’t fallen asleep in weeks. Well, either that or cocaine. You can never know in this industry.” Said an anonymous executive.

Some have even said that Parker told them that he was from the future.
“Whenever he gets invited to parties of famous NBA-related people, he’d tell them weird things like, ‘Don’t draft the guy you’re thinking of, go for the obvious answer.’ And other crazy shit. He’s a very weird guy.”

Dominique Wilkins first NBA player to sign with the Hyenas

Even though the Hyenas won’t be officially participating in the league this season, they still signed their first NBA player ever – Dominique Wilkins. It may come as a shock to a lot of NBA fans because Wilkins is… well first of all, 37 years old already and also the fact that he’s actually under contract with Greece’s Panathinaikos.

Despite playing overseas, Wilkins will still get paid by the Hyenas this season as their “Brand Ambassador” according to sources.

‘Nique is expected to make $15M in a 2-year deal with the Hyenas. He will get $3M in the first year, and $12M in his second, where he will be eligible to play in the NBA.

Now that's an interesting twist, right out of the gate!

Montreal Offseason

Hyenas sign FO and Coaching Staff

The Hyenas have finally announced the signing of their front office and their coaching staff this Monday. The first signing they ever did was the signing of Head Coach, Carter Olson, and Assistant Coach, William Goodrich. Olson signed a 4yr/$14.40M deal while Goodrich signed for 4yr/ $3.08M.

Montreal have also signed a new trainer, Scott O’Gallagher, for 4 years / $1.20M.

For their front office, Montreal added Oliver Saunders as an Assistant GM and Jordan Malone as their CFO. Saunders signed a 4yr/$1.60M contract while Malone agreed to a 4yr/$4.20M deal.

Aside from filling up all the vacant positions, it seems like Montreal won’t be needing a head scout after all. It has been reported that GM David Parker accepted an extension of 5 years/$15M to serve as the team’s General Manager and the team’s Head Scout.

GM Corner

I'm looking at 3 players in this draft - Iverson, Bryant, and Nash. The voices inside my head told me Iverson has a tendency to cause trouble and might not have a great career down the road. He could give me 3 or 4 years before he leaves to another team, I can't have that. I need to build off of this draft since it's my first and everyone's looking at me. Even then, there's no assurance that I'll have a chance to pick him with the 4th pick because he's projected to be picked 1st by Philly. I've entered negotiations with them and they do not want to budge at all it seems like they're lasered in on AI.

Next is Bryant. The projected 2nd round pick by half of the mock drafts. I've had visions of his greatness, he could be a great pick for us but Vancouver has the 2nd pick. The Vancouver FO told me they're open for offers so I'm trying to cook up something that includes our 4th pick and another pick.

Steve Nash is a great passer and facilitator, no one could deny that but we still don't have anyone in our roster except Wilkins. We're not sure if we can get a great PnR big in free agency or a great slashing forward/guard or even a good spot-up shooter. If we are to pick Nash, we need to have a team assembled for him asap but with the free agents this summer, it's more than unlikely we do. I'd get crucified if our first season is a bust. We need to have a great season or we'll lose interest really quickly. Nash is a big gamble.

If all else fails,my last pick would be Ray Allen. He's a spot-up shooter that can space the floor every night. If we can trade for the 3rd pick, snatch Nash, pick Allen, we might have a deadly backcourt in 2 years. Nash can hit 3s, Allen can hit 3s, suddenly I hear the voices in my head saying "Splash Brothers". It just feels right.... I don't think the coaches would feel all too great with those two though. They want to run their offense off the post or PnRs, do they not know that 3 > 2???

Pretty decent roster there!

Pretty decent roster there!

I really think so too. Price and McKey are great shooters while Radja and Montross are ok defensively. Still needs some offense coming from the bigs.

Radja was a shade under being a 20 ppg scorer in 1996. Hopefully he can pack a bit of a punch for you.

I remember Radja was pretty decent at 3s? Would be perfect spacing for today's game lol

He had a great three-point rating in NBA Jam Tournament Edition, but he actually never made a three during the course of his brief NBA career.

Vs CLE (86-144)
Bryant shines in NBA debut




In the first NBA game of his career, 2nd pick Kobe Bryant led his team to the victory by scoring 39 points. Bryant’s 39 is the second highest-scoring debut of a rookie in the NBA while Wilt Chamberlain has the highest-scoring record with 43 points.

Aside from Bryant, Radja also heavily contributed to the win by posting a 19-20 stat line. Revered superstar Mark Price had a disappointing debut game, scoring 5 points in 2-10 shooting, assisted 14 times but turned the ball over 7 times.



Even though the Hyenas team performed well in their first official NBA game, we should not forget the fact that this Cavaliers team is clearly in shambles. The only player in the Cleveland Cavaliers roster to score in double digits is Terelle Brandon; he led the team with 37 points. His team’s next highest scorer is Tyrone Hill who scored 7 points, 30 points less than Brandon, and he did it shooting 3-15 in the field.

While Bryant had a great NBA debut, Ben Wallace had the opposite. Wallace did not score any points in 33 minutes, even fouling out early in the 4th. He shot 0-8 but grabbed 7 boards.
