Lol If SMB gets Cade then spacing will be their problem. He doesnt have an outside shot. So let them clog the lanes with Junemar and Cade. Atleast Mo can shoot from the outside.

Isaac Go could be the one but both their perimeter defense and rim protection will suffer greatly.

Kenmark Carino could be the other.

Troy Rike could be the last option for SMB.

Coach NB is also the consultant at San Beda. So the trend here is once you hire NB as consultant then you might win the chip. Lol.

better for Ateneo to get him back again. Hehe

Norman Black's coaching just only suit for college basketball anymore... He's not fit in the PBA... Aaron Black having Paul Lee 2012 title run problems, Both winning w/o them...

One thing for sure, Long Hair will do big movements starting this off season, RSA will not spend 1 billion just being a Bridesmaid... Poor Northport and Terrafirma, Some of their cores will be harvest before next season starts... Holt, Lucero, Tolentino might be the first ones will be wearing Red and white jerseys starting next season.... And don't include Magnolia... They are the least one to be prioritize... hahahahahahahahahaha... If i were Magnolia, I will not expect any help from Long Hair, I would rather move like an independent team... Build players thru drafts and find players in free agencies.. Just look what Meralco was doing.. Don't expect they will be prioritize by Long Hair...
 
Norman black getting 5 finals appearances with that lineup should been lauded and nenad just finetuned the roster norman black had.. its a team effort despite the balck father and son duo being spotted as scapegoats hehe..

Remember Meralco started as an import conference contender team.up until they become a legit all filipino cup contender( they lost to a scottie thompson buzzer beater in the 2020 bubble)...

But that was not enough... This is what TNT experience in their 6 year drought from 2015 - 2021 before Chot came in.. Mark Dickel rebuild the TNT roster around but always lose in the finals by either SMB or Ginebra before Chot came back and drafting Mikey is the biggest thing TNT did and winning 2 chips before Mikey left... In the end of the day, Results still matters the most... Bridesmaid is not acceptable... Norman Black can't beat Tim Cone in any series.. So that is the thing Meralco did good... If they fire Black early and Nenad / Trillo came in early, They might win 1 or 2 more chips early before this year...
 
Santi Santillan would be a perfect partner of Junemar. The guy has a decent 3 point shot, can play the post, can pass, can defend, high basketball IQ. i believed this guy can compliment to the dominance of Junemar Fajardo.
 
SMB finally realizing that they couldn't simply outsize teams anymore to win the Philippine cup. They got away with it against TNT in 2022 but that series went 7 games. SMB needs an actual skilled 4 to complement JMF. However, even if they get one, their old reliables such as Ross and Lassiter are old. Maliksi and Banchero were cooking Lassiter and Ross wasn't even in the final minutes to guard Newsome in Game 6. JMF is also 35 and I give him around 3 more years of peak performance before he starts declining. Pretty crazy to think that Gallent ran JMF to the ground and still managed to lose the series in 6 games. lol
 
Is it just me but no more mention of ryan gregorio what soever in meralco ditto with Ronnoe Magsanoc
 
Didn't Ryan Gregorio leave the team a long while ago?

For me, my biggest surprise was that Aaron Black seems to be no longer part of the team.

he ain't cool with the politics(?) of the Grandpas.
