they really need to compress the season, 54 games in 10 months? or just revert to the old 2 conference format, the EASL could fill the time slot of the 3rd conference

For its first season, its the champions who would play,that would be SMB and GSM. Maybe in the coming years once EABL will expand to 16 teams that the time that the 4, team each will qualify... I guess its high time that PBA should revert to two conference, one All Flipino and one Reinforces conference with 2 impprts to simulate EABL...
 
Hope MVP teams would win, either TNT or Meralco, so we can add Cadets player to give them experience.NLEX with Yeng as Coach is so shitty internationally ans hardheaded to add Cadet pool members.. EABL rukes prohibit using Cadet Pool or Gilas team joining, rather regular PBA Champion teams as representative but can add Gilas pool members to reinforce

They should. Other leagues have almost the same amount in 5-6 months. They have to hold games simultaneously.

or just revert to the old 2 conference format, the EASL could fill the time slot of the 3rd conference

It's risky. It may deprive the competing teams of an offseason. Probably simultaneous with the at least conference should do.

Some European domestic football leagues start their season on the latter stages of the European competition, and end their season just after the European season has started. Problem is, any team still in European competition may not have an offseason, except for before their knockout rounds, between December and February.
 
Well, the PBA wants cadets to play instead. While I like the idea of sending the cadets for development, I dunno if that will be allowed, as it's a competition for professional clubs. Plus, I really think the PBA has to send the best pro teams. It can help them generate an international market, and hopefully be a stepping stone for the teams to become East Asian powerhouses.

PBA scared again? lol.. afraid that a top team in PBA will be defeated outside PBA? they have no balls about that.. PBA, EASL is a club tournament and not a competition for NT..

If a top team is defeated, that will be a massive reality check, like in last year's World Cup. The PBA teams should take this as a sign that they need to improve in order to compete.

and it defeats the objective of EASL CEO Matt Beyer of having the Asian version of the European Basketball Champions League

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/seandeveney/2020/08/20/exclusive-new-east-asia-hoops-league-gets-fiba-approval/amp/
 
https://www.spin.ph/basketball/easl-seeks-early-gab-approval-for-philippine-home-games-hosting-a793-20200903?ref=home_feed_1

EASL Chief Executive Officer Matt Beyer wrote a letter to GAB chairman Abraham ‘Baham’ Mitra seeking the approval of allowing the teams from China, South Korea, and Japan to play in the country when it is slated to host several games from the period of October to January of 2022.

The regional league, which staged three successful pre-season tournament since 2017, recently got a big boost in its operation after entering into a ten-year agreement with FIBA.

“The agreement provides EASL FIBA’s full recognition and support to run an annual league matching up the top professional clubs in East Asia and the Philippines,” part of the letter read.

The league opted not to hold a tournament this season following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But it’s all systems go a year from now, according to Beyer.

“EASL is now preparing for the October 2021 launch of its new league to bring together the best professional basketball teams from around East Asia and determine the region's champion,” said Beyer.

“The first two editions (2021/22 2022/23) of EASL will match up the top eight teams from greater China, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines in a home-and-away group stage, culminating with a Final Four in February to determine the champion, runner up, and third place finishers.”

Under the temporary schedule drawn up by the league, the Philippines will be hosting five games from October to January. The first home game is set from the period Oct. 21-27, while the final home game is scheduled within Jan. 22 to 26.

“EASL seeks GAB’s approval to allow for six foreign top professional teams to play against PBA teams in Manila during the period of October 2021 to January 2022,” Beyer added.
 
2021~2022 EASL Season: 8 teams, 2 groups of 4 teams each, 3 home and 3 away games per team. Assuming that final four and finals round are 1 game each, the number of extra games for PBA teams seems manageable if the PBA season calendar is adjusted accordingly.

Hope the PBA will cooperate here in the future. It will help us gauge our local players. Plus, think of regional prestige if (that's a big if) one of our teams win it. And international marketing. The PBA has to think of those factors.

yeah and last year alvark tokyo won the tournament..

anyway, it will be nice to send a champion PBA team in EABL and not cadets. i get the suggestion about sending cadets on that tournament by PBA or SBP but EABL is tournament for club so better to send club teams instead of cadets.. no fiba eligibility rules in EABL..

Exactly. I'd rather see the top 2 PBA teams in the EASL. Again, opportunity for them to market themselves and to gauge our players.

TNT can parade Terrence jones and KJ McDaniels
BGSM can parade brownlee and one big
phoenix can parade eugene phelps and Former Perth wildcat import or any big
Meralco can parade durham and maybe onuaku..
 
So TNT and Ginebra are the top 2 teams in the PBA. Hope the PBA allows them to play in the EASL. It would be interesting to see how Cone and Dickel would adjust.

Will TNT tap some Gilas cadets in the roster.. Isaac Go, Matt Nietto is big upgrade rather than Vosotros, aging Carey, DeLeon, etc...

Kouame is an excellent fit for TNT. Him and mcdaniels for me.

Go,Matt (via trade) and Kuaome (import) plus KJ McDaniels in the TNT roster? That's like a Gilas team with another import. Although I doubt Kuoame will dominate, that will give him a very good exposure against other teams.Tinipid pa natin, let's go get CJ Perez as well.

Perez,Parks,McDaniels,Erram and Kuoame for the 1st five

Castro,Nieto,Pogoy,Rosario and Go will come off the bench.That would be a nice lineup.

Lol Kouame can be realistically signed as an import for the easbl tourney. If you can trade for matt, go and perez, then be my guest.
