Per WP:BEFORE due diligence, I don't get any hits at Google News, and only Wikipedia book results at Google Books. Team is not listed at the American Basketball Association website. Team's own website does not resolve. Team's Twitter account only seems to have been active for 9 months between August 2009 and May 2010. Article has no references. The team's roster circa 2010 contains non-notable players. The article has not been significantly improved in 5+ years. The notability requirements have not been met here. Notability (sports) directs users to WP:CORP for guidance, and I don't think this team meets those criteria. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:07, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
