Again, do we have proof of this?
(Don't worry i believe Powerade will EVENTUALLY be sold to SMC, one way or the other)

SMC is really deceiving PBA fans. What a big joke Powerade said they need a tall player then why go for an untested and one dimensional Baclao who is just 6'4 not even reaching 6'5 http://www.pba.ph/players/stats/256. Just a small difference from Lassiter who is almost 6'3. If they really need a tall player they should have traded him for a Jr reyes, or a thoss, or a devance or a ranidel or Eman.
It is so obvious it is deviously planned by SMC , they already talked to Powerade under the table, and convince them to go for the trade. And Baclao is one dimensional not even a consistent defender, or rebounder and not a scorer, and Guevarra who? I remember he is one of the players dump by Gilas.
They say that Baclao is number one pick and Guevarra is third pick and UAAP and NCAA star, hello? This is PBA its different style and opponents. Example if Powerade ask for Lutz trade for allera and martinez then they will also say this guys are college standouts but they are not given playing time. Same logic with lassiter trade. National team star, defender and upcoming pba star versus 2 mediocre player?
Haha, if they want it to be fair then trade Washington or si Rabeh, any of this two are really tall at 6'8 and include there 1st round pick nxt year for Lassiter.

Marcio Lassiter was measured at 6'1 1/2" without shoes (6'2.75" in shoes) while Baclao was measured at 6'4 3/4" without shoes (6'6" in shoes). I don't understand why the PBA listed Lassiter's height while wearing his sneakers. The PBA are now listing their players height without shoes. Legit 6'3" Jervy Cruz towered over Lassiter last night.

Baylon: I am still Powerade governor By Bill Velasco (The Philippine Star) Updated February 19, 2012 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines - JB Baylon insists he has not been fired by Coca-Cola, and is therefore still the board governor for the Powerade Tigers and PBA vice-chairman.
Baylon made the statements in reaction to his swift replacement by Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI) as its PBA representative immediately upon filing his two weeks’ notice. The amiable team executive said the news of immediate effectivity of his resignation was an “un-truth”.
“To be clear: my resignation is effective Feb. 29. I remain an employee of Coca-Cola till that day,” Baylon said in a text message to The STAR late Friday. “Following the logic that I have not been removed by CCBPI, I remain governor of the Powerade franchise and (PBA) vice-chairman.”
Baylon’s resignation, announced before Powerade’s Friday night PBA game, was in connection with the impending sale of the Tigers back to the San Miguel group, which was also escalated by the proposed trade of Powerade rookie Marcio Lassiter for Petron Blaze bench players Noy Baclao and Rey Guevarra. Baclao and Guevarra were drafted number one and three, respectively, in the 2010 PBA rookie draft, but have seen limited playing time with Petron. The trade and sale of the team have not been ruled on by the PBA board. Baylon said that the sale of the team had been proposed much earlier, even before the start of the last All-Filipino conference, which made their startling finals run even more bittersweet.
Friday afternoon, Baylon sent The STAR a text revealing that he had resigned, and added CCBPI management’s response.
“I resigned from Coke effective Feb. 29. (CCBPI president William) Schultz then wrote PBA today immediately replacing me as governor.”
On his Twitter and Facebook accounts, Baylon has also been trying to correct erroneous reports that he had been replaced as PBA governor because his resignation was effective immediately.
“Please let every mediaman know that my resignation is effective Feb. 29,” he stressed. “So strictly speaking, I remain an employee of Coca-Cola until that day.”

Black on his last season at Ateneo By Olmin Leyba (The Philippine Star) Updated February 19, 2012 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines - Multi-titled coach Norman Black, who has steered Ateneo to the UAAP championship the last four years, will only be back on the saddle for one more season, making the Blue Eagles’ “drive for five” beginning July his swan song.
Black, according to Ateneo president Fr. Jose Ramon Villarin, SJ, will step down as Eagles coach at the end of Season 75 to “return to the PBA” but will serve as consultant of the university’s basketball program for two years thereafter.
“It is with regret that I inform the community that coach Norman Black, who we all know has been such an outstanding coach for the Ateneo Blue Eagles these last seven years, has indicated his desire to return to the PBA where he hopes to replicate his successful system. Having been at the PBA before, he is in a way coming full circle with this move,” Villarin announced via Ateneo’s official website yesterday.
“I am pleased, however, to tell you that coach Norman has agreed to Ateneo’s request that he coach the Blue Eagles for the 2012 season, and that he remain as consultant to the men’s basketball program for two years thereafter. Norman will be with us, therefore, for three more years, coaching the team for one more year and helping out as consultant in the two years after that,” the AdMU president added.
A grandslam champion coach in the PBA, Black joined Ateneo in 2004 as consultant and took over as head strategist the following year, piloting the team to a “four-peat” last season. He has compiled a 95-24 win-loss record since 2005 and will likely breach the 100-win mark in 2012 while aiming to finish his stint with a fifth straight diadem.
Ateneo’s announcement added fire to swirling talks that a rigodon of coaches among teams supported by Manny Pangilinan is in the offing. Black will reportedly be offered coaching chores for PBA team Talk n Text, of which he is a consultant, while current Tropang Texters tactician Chot Reyes will supposedly handle the Gilas 2 national team.
Both Black and Reyes are also in the shortlist of candidates for the Gilas program, along with Jong Uichico and Ryan Gregorio.
In line with Black’s impending exit, Villarin has formed a search committee headed by Edward Go and composed of Fr Nemesio Que, SJ, Ricky Vargas, Jack Huang, and Joey Campos to help him “discern and decide who the next head coach will be.” AdMU athletics director Ricky Palou will serve as adviser while Debbie Tan will be the secretary.
Among the possible candidates for the post that will be vacated by Black are alumnus Olsen Racela, and his current assistants Jamike Jarin and Sandy Arespacochaga.
In the meantime, Villarin said the Eagles remain focused on extending their reign under Black.
“We will not let our guard down and we will even work harder for that historic 5-peat,” Villarin said.

I really feel that the "committee" formed by dee Areneyow is very superficial and is uttermost BS. I mean, c'mon, MVP will always have the last say on this thing. He's bankrolling them anyways.

Unless olsen parts ways with smc, he will not be the next coach of admu..tiu said he isn't interested in coaching and sandy will probably be just a filler again. I'm expecting a new guy...probably an eric reyes or alike.

Ulitin ko lang: GRABEH si REY, parang 2nd OPTION kay NOY at JOSEPH. Hanep ah parang pamalit sa "GILAS". Knock out na sina BAC at GUEV
guevar and baclao for lassiter was vetoed by commissioner.
so i guess it will be Rabeh/Guevarra or Noy/Yeo for Lassiter. do you think either of those choices is a fair trade guys?
seems petron is really keen on having the services of Lassiter.

ok here's another trade rumour.
i think this is a fair trade between Mercado and Yeo.

Notable in so many ways. First, an MVP-SMB trade? Wow.
Second, Yeo's father has very close business relations with RSA. It would be like RoS putting TY Tang on the trading block. Or even Barako putting Gatumbato up for grabs.
