Sad to say but Greg has little to no value at this point in time. He 's like the Greg Oden of PBA. maybe when he clears waivers someone will gamble on him for his sheer size alone. Im not counting him out to make a real comeback but his injuries seems too chronic for another decent run.

Imagine if the Gin Kings picked Ian as the number 1 pick instead of Greg. A frontline rotation of Japeth, Ian and Joe would have been lethal.

It seems Cone is still optimistic Greg will be back. But De Vance is actually Cone's most important player. He is the one the allows Cone's teams to play big or small without surrendering mobility or height. But De Vance is deteriorating. It seems his foot injury has slowed him down. The hole in Cone's system gets exposed without De Vance or with him slowed down. His lack of shooters is exposed in Gins. Whereas when De Vance was quicker he could play some SF and he could create spacing in the half court set or run the break. Now De Vance is a shadow of himself and so is Ginebra.

They want to take it slow with greg as him alone makes them contenders, they dont care if he plays 10 games as long theyre winning..

He will always have trade value.

He is the only one who has the size and skill to make junemar work both sides.
 
I hope Zamar stays in the PBA. Almost all the balik-PBA players only lasted a conference or two.

Final part of Philip Morrison's post on his PBA journey.

Some notes:
1) Going to the Philippines wasn't a homecoming for him. These Fil-Ams who were born and raised in the states don't really consider the Philippines a home right away.
2) Who could've sent that e-mail? Was it Chris Ellis?
3) He confirms the perception that most Fil-Am ballers have a sense of entitlement and superiority when they come to the Philippines. "I run into a lot of guys that did not dominate at lower amateur levels (High School or College) but some how think they deserve a shot at pro basketball..."
