PBA 49th Season

If Converge still plans to acquire Mikey Williams, they have no choice but to let go of either Stockton or Winston for TNT to accept the deal. I don't think they'll let go of their wings or bigs in exchange for Mikey. Assuming they get Mikey without losing Stockton or Winston, their guard position would be so loaded that someone would need to come off the bench.

Imagine having Heading, Williams, Stockton, Winston, Cabagnot, Andrade. They could build a security agency with all these guards, geez.

Purefoods - Ricardo Ratliffe(6'8", 35 yrs old)

Converge - Cheick Diallo (6'8", 28 yrs old)

Nlex - Ed Davis (6'11", 35 years old)

Meralco - Akil Mitchell (6'9, 32 years old)

Terrafirma - Ryan Richards (7'0", 33 years old)

Northport - Kavell Bigby Williams (6'11", 29 years old)

Phoenix - Donovan Smith (6'10", 31 years old)

San Miguel - Kenneth Faried (?) (6'8", 35 years old)

Some of them have legit Nba Experience. Most of them played in nba g league and multiple countries though.

So far, only Terrafirma tapped a legit 7 footer in Ryan Richards. Others went with Versatile 6'8-6'10" Players.

I need to research each one of them to see who has the best resume

So far, the import list looks promising. Ratliffe's real height is 6'6 though.

Hoping that Ginebra, TNT, ROS and Blackwater will go for a taller reinforcement. Specially ROS and Blackwater for obvious reasons. Blackwater's frontline is too lacking even for the All-Filipino conference. Who will guard the opposing imports? Jopia? Hill? Even the veteran trio of Ponferrada, Guinto and Chua won't be able to contain a Ricardo Ratliffe or Cheick Diallo. I doubt that George King's scoring exploits can sufficiently cover their limitations in the defensive end.
On Ginebra, JB needs a much deserved breather to extend his longevity.

If SMB snags Faried their coaching staff must give Junmar the green light to take at least five attempts per game beyond the arc.

Cant expect TNT to be lowballed here for just draft picks etc. Etc.

I still think that their end goal is a trade for Barefield.
Converge sealed the deal with Heading, further solidifies them as a team that's willing to spend on a marquee player.

Mercenary or not, it's shown that when the money is right, Mikey will play.

Win-win situation and of course only the loser is Blackwater.

Converge - Mikey
Blackwater - Winston and JL Delos Santos
TNT - Barefield

And possibly in the near future, I think TNT danggles either Nambatac or Pogoy for Bolick or Kiefer to finally prepare for Castro's retirement.
 
on the issue(s) about Mikey vs. Schony/Stockton vs. Barefield

here's my take, I'm playing fair game here.

a one on one trade between Mikey and Winston is a fair game for me

I doubt Converge will let go Alec considering he is one of the faces of the team

alongside the 2 Justine

it's really a head scratcher if BWB will trade Sedric for Mickey Mouse

considering they are grooming the former Div 1 rivals of Barefiled and King

as the new face of that team besides George King already mentioned in

several interviews that one of the main reasons why he love playing here

is because of Sedric..it's such a bummer if they deal him in exchange of Mikey

Blackwater as a farm team??? hmmpp.. i'm biting my tongue.
 
well, if thats the case hopefully schonny lands in smc which then leads him to getting invited to Gilas.

Blackwater is a farm team... It might be happen.. maybe smb or TNT will get Barefield for bunch of scrubs.. we saw multiple times they trading their young prospects and picks for nobody.. that's why they, alongside Dyip and Northport should leave the league...

BREAKING NEWS EXCLUSIVE: With just 12 days to go before the start of the Commissioner's Cup, the NLEX Road Warriors are scampering for an import replacement, multiple sources told.

Last November 4 the team announced the signing of former NBA player Ed Davis, who apparently "did not inspire much confidence" around the team.​

Homer Sayson

NLEX coach Jong Uichico just confirmed to me that his team is indeed changing imports because Ed Davis had to “attend to personal matters.”

Stay tuned.​

PBA Arena at "Trump City"

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/...rowalk-property-a795-20241116?ref=home_feed_1

Singson said his company has big plans for the entire property as his group has secured an agreement with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump to transform it to a so-called ‘Trump City’ through the intercession of Century Properties founder Joey Antonio.

“Wala pang arrangement pero pumayag na ako,” said Singson on Saturday. “Pag-uusapan pa kung sino ang magde-develop, kung joint venture. Ang usapan, wala pa. Pero definitely, gusto ko maitayo ko doon sa Metrowalk.”
​

“Ang maganda diyan sa Metrowalk ay balita ko, nasa Amerika before the election, si Ambassador Joey Antonio, inaayos niya na siya magdedevelop sa Metrowalk at gagawin niyang ‘Trump City,’” he revealed.

“Nagkataon naman na nanalo si Trump. Magandang maganda ‘yan at ituloy natin ang pagdevelop ng Metrowalk na Trump City pero kasama ang basketball gym na malaki para may panooran ang tao na sentro."

“Binalita sa akin na parang napirmahan na ni Trump bago siya manalong presidente,” he added.

I think Converge already set even they lose in Troy sweepstakes.. they have Javillonar, Baltazar and Ben Phillips in their roster.. better to develop those players than raging towards recruitment on Troy... Troy meanwhile, he has to take consequences, Look at Jeron Teng, Vic Manuel, Jackson Corpuz, etc... !!! They pick SMC group due to higher salary but they suffered decreasing their value as assets.. now they are both possible going to MPBL after their confidence lost due to benching.. One conference or two that his game drop and his value will go downwards same as Teng...
