makes sense, Fil-foreign has some negative meaning attached to it, especially for those ultra nationalists

Its not simply a matter of the Filfors being better. If you have a coach like Austria who only looks to win, doesnt have a bench and doesnt develop players, you will have a lot of locals who won't get the opportunity to develop. Only Yeng has a good track record of developing locals. Cone hasnt developed a player since Thoss, a Filfor by the way.
When you have guys who are at the or almost the level of Pringle and CStand they would command major minutes like 30 above. Also they would command a lot of touches. Those minutes and touches will come from the locals.
Many eligibles will not have the opportunity to develop.
I think the D league rule was good. Playing Filfors in college gives locals the opportunity to catch up with them.
National basketball programs need to step up. If our locals cant keep up with this influx, Philippine basketball may die.
It may take generations to recover.

One positive thing that may happen is that the next batch of players in college and HS will be forced to develop to match up better against these batch of Filfors. Theyll ask how can they match up better against Orme, Gray, Statham. College programs should also redo their training to allow these guys better opportunities to succeed in the pros.

Exactly what I'm seeing. I've noticed in the college ranks that we're already seeing some good-sized wings, and in the absence of 6'6"-6'7" power forwards, 4-men who can also play the 3, and who operate more like wings, at least for some teams. That's gonna help them adjust better in the pros, where they merely need opportunity.
Hopefully more colleges will change their training methods if they want to send more guys to the PBA.

Jamie Malonzo formalized his application for the PBA Draft
https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/jamie-malonzo-leads-bumper-crop-of-entrants-as-draft-list-swells-to-67-a2437-20210121?ref=article_feed_1
Malonzo, who stands 6-foot-6, is touted to be one of the first names to be called in the March 14 proceedings, with some believing that he has what it takes to be the No. 1 selection.
The 24-year-old out of Portland State played one year with the Green Archers this past UAAP Season 82 and averaged 15.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.2 steals to rightfully be named in the Mythical Team.
Aside from Malonzo, other players who submitted their applications on Thursday were Letran center Larry Muyang, Fil-Ams James Laput and David Murrell, and Ateneo product Jay Javelosa.

Blackwater has two second round picks. Could easily fall to Nash.

It is not the fil am issues. We really need more teams. SMC must stop blocking new franchise to enter PBA. SMc is manipulating the system so that new teams cannot enter.

too bad only a few pinoy billionaires are interested in basketball, and those who are interested are fed up with the evil empires BS (i.e. Mascarinas, Lucio Tan/Tanduay). And with the economy right now, i doubt they'll invest in sports

Do new teams even want to enter? All I hear is rumors about multiple teams selling.

You need atleast 75 million a year to just maintain a team. How many companies willing to invest that kind of money. SMC mostly likely spends upwards of 100 million each for its team.

Companies spend millions ,almost similar that amount for TV ads per year, so their advertisement funds would just be realigned to PBA maintenance....Besides a PBA team brings more commercial mileage to the team than seconds of TV ads....PBA expenses are also deductible to the Companies tax as it is part of their expenses(commercial/ads)...

If their are some lawyers out there, that unwritten rule of PBA not accepting teams with competing products to the incumbent teams is in Violatio nof AntiCompetition Law..Bawal na bawal yan...

not a lawyer... but decision like that should be voted by the owners. and since SMC and TNT have the most votes each, it is not wild to think either would want additional teams and let go of their voting power. i'm not defending SMC, but that can also affect TNT. both of these teams control PBA. SMC is a bit cold to Gilas hence the hate. BUt if TNT stops helping Gilas, then wouldnt we look at them same as SMC?

my post was to reply on "rule of PBA not accepting teams with competing products to the incumbent teams is in Violatio nof AntiCompetition Law." Phoenix was accepted and it is in competition with Petron. like I said, owners just have to vote for it.
SMC and TNT will think hard before accepting teams in if their control of owner votes are affected. so if both SMC and TNT vote against additional teams, people in general will still hate SMC more. and that because of them not helping Gilas.

Yeah, agree. It's too much for a single season, particularly for the independent and farm teams. As for the other Filipino billionaires, i guess they see putting up a PBA team as a very high risk investment. For PBA to attract serious attention from investors from all sides, it must first become a multi-billion peso business worthy of investing time and capital, that even if their clubs underperform, there's still significant windfall on a yearly basis.

PBA should just abolish D-League, absorb its financially-capable clubs (do the same with MPBL if it folds definitely), and create at least 2 more divisions with 10 teams each, with promotion-relegation between the 2 lower divisions (PBA top flight not included in this scheme because.. you know..). Those 2 lower division will serve as a feeder league, which will be a lot easier to stomach, unlike what we have with the current PBA today.

at 6:30, Norman Black says from during his time with SMC and most definitely now, While most PBA teams budgets for winnng, SMC budgets for Grand Slam, they want to win every conference...

Interested in this. Is it still viable? I know it's true in the 80s-2000s, but now? For a team like Blackwater, does their PBA membership translate to real revenue? or do they just make money from being a farm team?
