Wright just recently signed an extension though. A 2 year deal. He probably might sign one more contract before returning to the PBA.

but a Tio, Perkins and QMB trio seems interesting. Mocon is really underperforming though.

He will be 35 years old after that 2-yr contract, still serviceable at PBA level IMO. I don't think he will be the same player he is right now in the BLeague by that time so an extension might be unlikely.

Leading Phoenix to a championship before retiring seems a good conclusion to his career.

Hmmmm you might be right, we will see. and Wright has been very vocal about returning to Phoenix Fuel once his B League stint is up.

There were news of him going overseas. So he might be an incoming UFA.

Pringle is sure, because he is already serving more than 7 years of playing in the PBA.. Cstand not yet, he is not yet completed his 7 years (or 21 conferences) playing in the PBA.. he will be only RFA, just like Mikey Williams.. Terrafirma will hold his rights if Cstand goes overseas...

Phoenix is tanking honorably haha, most of their games they were competitive up to certain points of the game and then boom they were suddenly getting blown out, like earlier it was tied at 97 around 7 minutes of the game and only scored 4 points in the rest of the game while ROS scored 25

They should.. their weakness is big man and QMB is a huge boost for them.. even guys like DJ Fenner or Remy Martin joins next year's draft, Phoenix should tap QMB whatever happens.. the problem is terrafirma is also tanking.. who among Dyip and Phoenix will gain the top pick next year?

Converge doesn't like playing defense Lol

That lineup is genuinely atrocious bar ofc guys like. arana, schonny and stockton. Bunch of midgets that cant even play defense. As ive said before most of these guys are very very lucky to be still playing in the PBA.

Also re Mocon, i think its just a salary dump. If he got the bag post RoS then i can imagine cost cutting Phoenix would want smarter investments.
 
I feel for Danny I that his kid is being affected by his issues with SMC. He is not handling it the best but I understand it.

History has proven that Smc would rather let someone like Dave Ildefonso not play for them rather than trade him to a competitor (hence a pissed Danny I).

It's nothing different from its longtime practice of hoarding players so other teams can't utilize these players against em.​

Phoenix tanking for Millora-Brown.

Will it beat Perapirpa in the art of tanking?
At least karamihan ng talo ng Phoenix are close games or respectable loses. On the other hand, most of the loses of Perapirma are one-sided ones.

Well, in case Perapirma beats Phoenix for the No. 1 pick (most like it's going to be Millora-Brown) in next year's rookie draft, there is still Mike Philipps as the possible No. 2 pick, which of course is another blue chip rookie who can make an impact in the league right in his rookie year.

The league separating them into 2 groups might be interesting for lottery odds IF they continue this for the Coms Cup and Philippine Cup. how will they know if who's going to be the top pick?

Or Terrafirma tanking because SMC might land DJ Fenner or Remy Martin? Maybe the former is possible.. there are rumors that Fenner will likely join PBA draft next year...

Is Dave really that good that SMC is afraid for? If I were Northport, I will trade him for future picks.. This is one of the reason why other young prospects afraid to join PBA draft because of this... Northport is so stubborn if they kill Dave's basketball career... I remember Japeth's rookie year, he doesn't want to play for burger king but the team didn't hold him.. They let him go in exchange for future picks...

Actually Northport doesn't need Dave.. they still have Munzon and Tolentino in his spot.. I surprised that they pick him (unless they pick him because the original plan is to trade Tolentino back to any SMC teams).. they badly need a big man or atleast forward.. I suppose that they will pick either Policarpio or Tiongson...
 
"hey Ricky, tell those guys in Meralco to let me win or else" - Chot probably

Agree.
Based on his performance in the KBL, Dave Ildefonso is not really a quality or a marque player. He's no Dwight Ramos nor a Rhenz Abando or a Jordan Heading. He's expected to be just an averaged player in the PBA.
