SMC management is disappointed with the latest caper of the 5-foot-9 guard that there are talks Jalalon could likely be traded by Magnolia, a source privy to the matter related to SPIN.ph on Sunday.

Jalalon was suspended and heavily fined by both the Hotshots and the PBA for breaching protocols under a closed circuit system while the league awaits the formal opening of the 46th season.

The 28-year-old guard from Cagayan de Oro was caught in an outdoor basketball game last week in obvious violation of league health protocols.

In all, Jalalon was suspended for 10 days without pay, five days imposed by Magnolia management and five days by the PBA.

Under rules for the Philippine Cup announced by Commissioner Willie Marcial, players found violating protocols will be suspended for 10 days without pay. But Jalalon’s case came before the rules were formally enforced.

Nonetheless, he was still fined P75,000 by the PBA and could potentially lose P100,000 or more in salary during the time of his suspension.

“Baka i-trade na yun. Matigas ang ulo, e,” said the same source.

Yes. Greg Slaughter while giving up some pieces of used sanitary napkins

Last time kasi it was CJ Perez while giving up pieces of filthy rags.

i don't think this trade will happen anytime soon. Masyado na mainit sa mata ng tao SMC teams. Maybe for a conference or two.

Honestly parang diniin lang niya sarili niya. The issue between him and his wife i think was not somewhat a big deal now. parang lalo niya pinabaho pangalan nya.

Well, I read this a few days ago, but the PBA is imposing a 6'7"-6'8" height limit for imports in the second conference.

If true, are they serious?

You could sense PBA is favoring SMC teams. If PBA sets a 6-foot-10 height limit for imports or even a no height restriction rule, that would somehow neutralize Ginebra & SMB's significant edge at the frontline. PBA doesn't want that.

Its obvious naman eh, for every new rule that PBA makes, pabor palagi sa San Miguel teams yan. The shitty anti-dodging rule obviously favors SMC teams.

It's just a simple adjustment for Ginebra. Focus more on the perimeter (their guards are still good, and the plays run through them anyway) and instead of big isolations, have Japeth (who isn't really known for 1-on-1 plays) and Standhardinger set screens. Plus, Stand has made his weird-looking shots against taller defenders before.

As for San Miguel, I guess this is the price they pay for making June Mar just dominant inside ala Shaq instead of developing a similar game to Jokić. Gilas also paid for that. It's gonna be a tougher adjustment for them if that's the case. Their perimeter players are inconsistent, everyone but Terrence and Perez. And come on, they have another walking mismatch in Mo Tautuaa, who can also play 4.

The irony is, it will force Ginebra and San Miguel to improve and modify their gameplans, and actually help them increase the level of competitiveness in the process.

Speaking of systems, here are my summaries of the comments on systems in the PBA:

Ginebra
- most advanced offense in the PBA right now, with a modern triangle

MERALCO
- Euro-inspired motion offense

NLEX
- uses some motion concepts, but they don't execute that quickly
- Yeng plays the horns very well
- read and react
- flex offense

Phoenix
- pindowns and floppy plays to get Matthew Wright open
- motion offense
- ball screens

Magnolia
- side ball screens, whether leading to a two-man game, PnR, or post-up
- pistol series

SMB
- halfcourt offense
- post-heavy
- use horns and pistol hammer
- adlib play depending on the mismatch
- Austria was known for systems in Adamson

Alaska
- faster-paced triangle offense

NorthPort
- uses pistol and ball screens very well

TNT
- Dickel uses horns and flex
- revert back to dribble drive offense with Chot

Yeah. Non sense.

Anyway, 6'7-6'8 Imports are usually skilled Wings. Like Brownlee, Millsap, Grundy, Wise, Reid, Blakely, Mcdaniels (Some of them are 6'5)

Let's see how will this affect pba small wings. If they will be benched or forced to down a position to a guard. Or move up to PF.

Or maybe they will play IPC 2 Wings lineup.

Remember 2019, TNT and the rest of the league had 6'10" imports and San miguel had a 6'8" import. Guess who won the chip.

Remember when the PBA had unlimited height for Imports?

Pba the last decade was underratedly good(Salud Era), we were fooled by the pba in jun bernardino era and even the Noli Eala era..Asian imports come and go but the ones who played arent really on their twilight of their careers(Daghlas, Iman Zandi, Madanly, some become nt mainstays and some even won mvp's..

Who would you rather have a PBA with balance with poor teams or a top heavy pba capable of competing against international teams?

San Miguel had a 6'8" import because of who again? Same reason why Ginebra had a 6'5" import for that tournament (although that import had already been a resident).

Anyways, I'm in favor of an unlimited height because it forces our bigs to have to learn how coexist alongside the import. Make them play 4.

People here are saying that PBA wants 6'8" import height limit to favor SMB teams. Then why SMC use a 6 '8 guy and replaced their earlier import who was 6'10" and then still won the Chip. Maybe more than height is the fit of the import to the team that matters.

Hmmm. Those 2 imports by SMB and Ginebra are also Gilas Naturalized Candidates.

Ayway, let us name them na.Cmac and Brownlee

Cmac and Brownlee are skilled wings. So they can compensate with it.

Not to mention SMB and Ginebra have Giant Local Bigs.

But for the height limit. I also want Unlimitd height. We can maybe saw something like PJ Ramos again.

And yes ut force undersized C to be a PF

I don't think you're getting it. Think it through. SMB and Ginebra (especially when Slaughter was around) has tall and skilled Bigmen in the likes of Junmar, Japeth, GS. So it makes sense for them to hire smaller guys such as a 6'8 guys. Other teams DOESN'T have such luxury. So they are forced to either to hire undersized import against SMB and Ginebra's big to match up and get destroyed on the wing import vs local match up or get a wing import and get destroyed downlow.

Just to add, taller imports are more likely to man the middle (which teams other than Ginebra and SMB sorely need to be able to counter the aforementioned). Smaller imports, even the 6'7"-6'8" ones, are more likely to play the 4, especially if they're perimeter-oriented, thus sticking our local bigs to the 5. Pierre Henderson-Niles, Khapri Alston, and Dior Lowhorn are exceptions in that they are 6'8"-below imports that can man the middle due to their heft, thus leaving the local bigs to play 4 on both ends (which is the whole point of why I'm advocating for imports of unlimited height).

No problem with being top-heavy. In fact, most leagues are. The problem is, how the league became top-heavy. In lopsided trades, the teams trading for the stars don't pay a high enough price, basketball-wise. They give up role players (in Ginebra's case) or scrubs (in SMB's case), but they surrender too few draft picks. If first round draft picks for at least 4 of the next 6 years are included, there wouldn't be as much backlash from knowledgeable fans.
