Philippine PBA Trades, Releases, Sign-ups, Rumours (vol. III)

I think the Kia SMB trade is alot worst. It was the 2017 draft trade, it was where SMB sent their bench players (Ronald Tubid, injured JayR Reyes, Keith Agovida and Rashawn McCarthy) for KIA's 1st over all draft pick for the right to select Christian Standhardinger.

Are you surprised by PBA’s sh*t system? BGR is already long destined to be TNT since he was drafted by Blackwater… only 3 teams will win PBA title and the rest are fillers only…

Then why not do like B League, no trades, no drafts. if players and management agrees then everything is fine. Why do we need it to be like NBA rules on trades and FAs

correct but the main issue is the teams intentionally losing....Pinoy fans have great basketball iq's they know if a team is playing to win or not..

Because we love to copy US style even if not suit well for us… NBA is transparent in terms of transactions… PBA is not..

Honestly, I'd rather see release clauses on contracts, like in Europe, and I think Japan and SoKor. Release clauses represent the minimum amount a team has to spend in order to acquire a player who's currently under contract. Mbappe for €180M, for example.​

In the PBA, maybe ₱19M for June Mar, or ₱14M for CStand or ₱15M for Castro. If your player likes it and you want to keep him, make him unsellable, like having the release clause to ₱300M or something.

You can still do trades with release clauses (it's been done in Europe). Just be transparent about it.

Seriously, PBA needs a reboot. "Nakakaawa tlaga" I saw the game yesterday, the quality has gone down. Even the quality of plays, system, and players are getting subpar compared to KBL and Bleague. If PBA is creative , they can make a gimmick of PBA reboot titled"PBA One" which means it like its back to day one like those glory days of MICAA and PBA 80's and 90's, ala Mortal combat 1 for ps5, a restart a refresh. Allot of changes in needed but two things first they have to change: Bring back Draft lottery and remove the height limit on imports to add quality and challenge to PBA.

As for height limit and imports, maybe add an FSA or NP spot as permanent players, in place of Asian imports. Only June Mar, Japeth, and CStand can legitimately start as centers in an unli-height import setting, or even a Commissioner's Cup setting (6'10" height limit).

Let players like Lenda Douanga and Malick Diouf play here. Effective rim protectors, and could move players like Almazan, Sangalang, CStand, Villegas, and Datu to the 4.

I understand your point, but

1. Not all teams in other leagues also go for the win. Like in Liga Endesa. How many teams compete to win? Since 2010-11, the champions were either Barca or Real Madrid for 9 times and every year at least one of them goes to the Finals. Just like one of SMC or MVP are always in the finals if not both

2 Top teams always get the top players similar to PBA, Liga Endesa or B.League. Teams that have budget have more stars.

3. I can't question their desire to win like Terafirma every game but like them we know they will never win a tournament. Terrafirma is competitive in some of the games just like Gran Canaria in La Endesa. So where is the difference?

Just saying if we look closer they are all the same like PBA or B. League. Only the NBA seems to be the most competitive but we know they also have super teams and they go to big markets most of the time. Pinoy fans want competitive but we know its not a reality as teams are funded my corporations that are not the same and have different structures, remember the days of Crispa and Toyota there are also duopoly and Pinoy fans love them. Rivalry sells

I agree if there is one thing they can do is to be more transparent or just no more limits on trades and how much offer a player accepts. But I don't blame them if some people don't want their income to be revealed as this might attract bad people to them. They make significantly more money than average people. As similar here in this forum we don't want to reveal our real names for privacy.

But Pinoys hate that. They will say the rich just get richer. Which in professional sports is the norm. Us believing in fairness throughout the competition is not a reality in today's sports. Teams wants to win whatever it takes. Do we know that in the NBA all the teams pay their players the same? I mean a commercial in LA will pay more than a commercial in Milwaukee.

Lemme guess, 5 gamedays, 3 games a week?
Click to expand...

Yep. Only problem with that would be teams/players who would be complaining as there would be a possibility for some of them to undergo an NBA (or B. league)-like schedule of 3 games per week. That would be brutal for our pampered PBA heroes, i guess.

Our guys need to keep fit, then. And it forces teams to have to rotate players to rest key guys instead of just relying on the key guys all the time.

If it's 5 gamedays a week, then TTh should be off, and we should allow our EASL teams some leeway.
 
So this team will prpeare longe rin asia cup than in oqt.. 15 days prep is enough in asia cup

More than meets the eye hahah, why disclose this if youre lao or delta.. if they can use him to lure Jordan heading (which is coincidentally being interviewed bu Lao's spokesman este Snow Badua)... Yes Heading can delay his pba entry thru playing with Australia nbl 1 but smc will demand more just to release the rights of heading..

makes sense, perfect trade bait for heading or any other japayuki whose rights are owner by smc and its farm teams
 
It really does seem there is some real truth to that rumor floating around that Converge/SGA is trying to secure the rights of Jordan Heading. I think Ayo has little to zero control over Converge's roster decisions, JL even got rid of his favorite players (Racal, Ilagan and Ebona) in favor of his drinking buddies. But Converge does have deep pockets and the resources/connections to become a major contender in the league. And I think they could outbid MVP or even SMC to secure free agents and top notch imports.
