PBA 49th Season

  • Thread starter Thread starter Silent Killer2
  • Start date Start date
Tenorio is now an unrestricted free agent, I guess this is his unofficial retirement
 
NGL, I don't mind those farm teams existing anymore as long as the new teams entering the league are competitive.

Having 15-20 teams in the PBA would help the league generate views again. Terrafirma and Blackwater can do all they want and give their star players to SMC and MVP, but it won't be easy to win a championship anymore if the new teams are competitive.

Getting all those star players from farm teams doesn't translate to immediate success anymore. If anything, it backfired on Ginebra and SMB.

Ginebra got hit by the injury bug, must be the basketball gods way of punishing them, SMB on the other hand just stockpiled players that dont fit

More teams brings interest to the league specially if they are competitive like ROS and Converge , pinoys love their underdog story (if only the league could market as such)

anyway i hope eastern will return and another guest team commits to the league

If you consider MPBL as Pro league then yes. They fielded 2 teams. Bacolod and Zamboanga

they fielded also a team in the PBA 3x3.
 
I hope no one buys Terrafirma without keeping the picks. They rebuild quick if they convince the right people to enter the draft.

For real, Converge is slowly becoming a superteam. The core of Arana, Baltazar, Winston and Stockton even without the injured Heading can compete with San Miguel, Ginebra, Magnolia, Meralco and TNT. They have a good mix of size, speed, athleticism, shooting, defense, offense and their top big men have arguably the highest iq aside from Junemar Fajardo.

I still think Ginebra didn’t win the Holt-Go trade for CStan and Stan. Even that indirect Nonoy-Abarrientos trade doesn’t look lopsided at all. That trade backfired on them—just like the ones SMB made. The Tiongson-Romeo trade has had no impact at all.
​
Those teams can get all the stars they want, but if the chemistry doesn’t click, it’ll just create a mess instead of wins.

Yeah. It seems things are slowly turning around at Converge. As I've said before, Converge owns one of the most (if not the most) formidable backcourt trio in the league - Stockton, Winston & Heading. I think all of whom are national team materials if only Stockton is FIBA-eligible. Then there's the frontcourt of Baltazar, Arana, Brian Santos & recent addition Jackson Corpus.
 
Snow's latest blind item pertains at Northport being for sale at 300M but can be negotiable for 100M (minus 4 key players)
 
I dont see it, tnt will have 10 percent chance on getting grandslam unless a miracle signing of mikey williams is done.. so tim and chua should focus on fiba asia cup and so everyday games again
 
Ynares Center II, I hope that it’s a prudent way of spending taxpayers’ money.

venue looks nice
