Drafting his friends in a business decision like the PBA draft just shows he is a bad manager and businessman.

he could have just drafted them on later rounds or signed them as free agents, his friends are not necessarily on any teams radar anyway

Exactly. It's not like other teams are going to draft his friends.

So many senior members of the staff and none of them were able to convince him? Not even Delta?
 
Looking back, Lao drafting his injured drinking buddy Andrade in the first round was a bone head move. They could have drafted Cade Flores, Taylor Miller, Kemark Carino, Enoch Valdez or Ricci Rivero.
 
I heard Calvin is definitely involved in the Arvin to Mags trade. Unless there will be a sudden absolute change of heart from the management, it’s done.

I bet he ends up with Converge at the end of this as well. There’s some other moving parts. Just wait for it.

Huh what heard? This was already posted by Snow days ago.

Yeah Snow's been pretty loud lately about the Arvin rumor. Did he say Calvin specifically going to Converge though? And that it also involves other pieces like Stockton (who is going to a popular team hint hint hehehe)

I'm just saying I heard Calvin is definitely involved because I know some Mags fans are hoping AT can be had for scraps and were hoping to keep Calvin. Not everyone has to be Snow to have sauces and I'm just sharing what I know. ;)

Obviously they’re tanking for Balti.

This is the best time to tank though. Only 2 conferences vs 3 and you get a sure fire franchise player in Balti.

they should get better value for the players they don’t want and not go on an ego trip by just releasing them.
 
The question is can converge outtank the farm teams in Terrefirma and Blackwater? Those two were also hellbent on losing in the latter half of the last conference hahaha.

If the rumors are true that Blackwater is refusing to trade Nambatac, Converge can do it. Terrafirma is better than Converge this conference since their import was a lemon.

Given how terribly the Laos and Ayo have managed the team this season, I think they have a chance.
 
I'm not sure if 6'8" almost 27 year old in Baltazar is worth tanking for. I have been watching his MPBL games and his usual post moves I doubt would be effective in the PBA level. In the MPBL he is up against stiff or old 6'3" to 6'5" centers but in the PBA he would be matching up againsts the Fajardos, Standhardingers, BGRs, Rosarios etc. plus the imports. I also noticed he has slowed down and his opponents can drive past him out on the perimeter and he has lost his efficiet outside shooting. And if ever you get a chance to draft lets say a Sedrick Barefield, Mike Philips or Carl Tamayo I would rather have any of those guys rather than Baltazar.
 
Balti pick is not really based on logic. He's Delta's top player right now, so Converge will tank to be sure they can pick him. He's best comparison would be be Keith Datu IMO. He is not the best low post player but his defense is still good. Sure he needs to improve his 3 pt shooting. It's still there but he needs to be consistent with his form I guess. He was actually decent in the Dubai tourney. He had the standout game before the finals. While he was scored on by Arakji in the post in the finals, replays show Arakji moved his pivot. So I would not take it against him. I like Balti because after AJ he's still our best defensive 4. The sooner he gets to PBA and better competition the better.

Most shameless trade in recent memory, those have absolutely no value even smb giving out guys like Arwind, Cabagnot looks better

Most shameless trade made by the MVP group for me. They used to execute trades na patas or not that lopsided at least. They really are desperate to let TNT win a chip.
