===After the championship===
After winning the Latvian championship, Valmiera/Ordo declined the option to play in the [[Basketball Champions League]]. LeadLed by head coach [[Uvis Helmanis]] the team's squad was still solid. The team's top scorers were [[Janis Kaufmanis]], [[Mārtiņš Laksa]] and [[Artūrs Bērziņš]]. At the end of the season, one of the [[EuroLeague]] stars, [[D'or Fischer]], was added to the team's roster. But things did not go Valmiera's way. In the [[2016–17 Baltic Basketball League]] Valmiera/Ordo lost in the quarterfinals, while in the [[2016–17 Latvian Basketball League]] the team lost in the bronze medal series. The team struggled financially during the last months of the season, which affected it in the upcoming season.
 
In the [[2017–18 Latvian Basketball League]] the team finished in last position. The new head coach [[Kristaps Valters]] had only three proven players—Janis Kaufmanis, Viktors Iļjins and [[Edmunds Elksnis]]. The rest of the team was very young and the team lost most of its games, taking last position in the national championship and not making the [[2017–18 Baltic Basketball League]] playoff tournament.
