So fans need to wait for 2 hrs to watch games 1 and 2. Total of 6 hours to watch 2 games. Sometimes it goes past 10pm when in OT.

might get Fewer fans to watch the games lives.

Yup. Besides PBA is trending downwards anyways. Good thing Ginebra is still in there.

PBA should buy abl and allow the mainstay teams (Singapore Slingers, macau Black bears and hong kong eastern to become guest teams in pba)..

I think including them as full-time teams would be better. The PBA might have to expand their local rules and change import rules, though. Hahahahahaha.

yup thats the plan not buuy the league but have the teams (especially the slingers) to play for them..the reason why singapore basketball isnt improving as they cant go full time playing ball

I'll have to agree on Singapore, because it's a city-state. They need to be attached to a league. Can't have a full-blown league if you're just one city.

Hopefully, adding them can be the start of a home-and-away, since they have their home courts.

Yummy even for the boomer pba board, almost free trip to singapore at least once a month..and for pba players too..If marcial cannot find a very able local franchise to join pba why gonabroad and have concession as singapore locals cant match up in all filipino conferences

Just include all SEA nations... Atleast PBA can brag themselves as "King of SEA"... Indonesia has 270 million people, Vietnam has 99 million people, Malaysia has 34 million, Thailand has 71 million... There is money in SEA market... PBA just can't think about that... Football might be the most popular sport in SEA region, I think basketball can be the 2nd most popular if PBA lead SEA market...
 
Imagine Saigon Heat plays SMB or Ginebra / TNT in Saigon, or Indonesia Patriots vs Magnolia or Meralco playing in newly built Indonesia Arena... PBA head can't notice that Gilas games always filled into rafters because Pinoy basketball fans wants to see our basketball teams playing against foreign teams, rather playing just against themselves...

Diba, PBA’s experience with the Bay Area Dragons should have given the board the impression that foreign teams can draw crowds, especially if against the pba’s best/fan faves

Yeah... and expanding PBA market into South East Asia... We have to help the development of both local Filipino players and South East Asian ballers.... If they can't tap Asian (or ASEAN imports), They should invite guest teams in SEA region...I search basketball fan base of SEA neighbors, the biggest basketball fan base after Philippines is Indonesia... 30 - 40% of Indonesians are basketball fans, especially younger generation... Take that advantage to expand PBA brands outside the country.. Next is Vietnam with 20%

Who will handle the cost for a foreign team to stay 4 months in Philippines. The cost was so large that it bankrupt Bay Area Dragons. They could have stayed in a less posh hotel but still a big financial endeavour.

This is good if sustainable. PBA has not even go regional because of cost what more will it be if it goes international. EASL tournament now is not even attracting pinoys here considering its a better competition. Will Pinoys watch SEA games teams. Filbasket didn't attract alot with SEA teams..With more games and more travel dit will make conferences long. 2 conference still manageable but will that compensate with better playoff or elimination attendance. We all know PBA needs more playoff for fans to attend live games.
