LNBP teams are on the hunt for players but where are they going to look?
Well, at least the Lechugueros are preparing for next LNBP season, which opens July 31st. Gustavo Saggiante, the team president, headed to the ´City of Angels´ this past week in search of some new re-inforcements for the upcoming season. Rumor has it that Saggiante was in talks with a Mexican American player who played for Fresno State last season. Team officials contend that three players will be named next week. We wonder, Sr. Gustavo, have you heard of the Eurobasket Summer Leagues?
The Pioneros of Cancun kick off the LCB final four tonight in Cancun. They rolled through group play without losing a game. They will play Guatamala, Honduras and Costa Rica in the LCB Final Four, which they should win easily.

It's too early to measure it's output but there is some construction.

Weather that chapter will lead to a storybook ending is much too early to tell...
