If they play as a NP, does thay eliminate thr possibility of them getting an exception in the future (especially Phillips who seems to have the biggest shot)?

It won't be practice for Korea. Warmups, maybe. At most we'll be struggling to run sets our players aren't used to.

Mickey Williams and Malonzo would be perfect for the tuneup games w/ korea
They could use two right? still just an exhibition anyways

Short answer NO, won't discuss the player but we actually have a similar incident happening now..

we're not playing korea in the actual games. this should've been an opportunity to test potential 2023 players, so getting young players makes sense. old pba vets or filam ineligibles don't make sense

I hope the reason why they aren't pursuing the Fiba ineligibles is because of this and not out of ineptitude.

Didn't we use Tuatuaa is SEA, there obviously player who are doubtful to be exempted anyway (SBP should know who they are , i hope ).
BTW to be clear I'm saying being classified as a NP in a FIBA tournament is not an automatic verdict to always be a naturalized player ..

This is really big specially we are hosting world cup next year. i don't see any problem specially if the transition will be smooth, money won't be an issue.
But with SMC Leadership we might see more players from them that means start to zero nanaman ang program.
Chot might be out hoping they will get tab please lord.

If true, oh my goodness. It makes me a little nervous. SMC have a lot to prove in my eyes.
1. Can they focus on developing players for the international game?
2. Are they willing to hire foreign coaches bar Tim Cone? To aid our local coaches on how to perform internationally?
3. Are they willing to bet on a long-term program for Gilas, starting from the youth program up?
4. Are they willing to adjust tactically for the international game?

for now the only thing we are sure is that they are willing to spend big to get the results done. Wow this is big news, hmm if Danding is still alive we could have seen a repeat of the NCC model. RSA is hands off right since he is not a sports person, so Long Hair?
edit: for sure SMC will be able to get and pay a NBA level talent as naturalized player, though quick fix solution to

Quick fix should only be just that, it can't be a trend. While the quick fix is ongoing, they should focus also on recruiting and developing players to be fit for the international game, can't be happy with "pang-PBA lang."
Furthermore, to aid in long-term development, hire foreign coaches to help in developing FIBA-fit players and mentor the locals, like Ron Jacobs and Tab with Jong, and Rajko Toroman with Charles Tiu.
Man, like I said, they have a lot to prove.

I wonder why MVP will resign this early? they already spend alot of time, effort and money just to get the World Cup Hosting.

suddenly realized that if the SMC takeover is true, then this will effectively end Chot Reyes' dream of coaching Gilas in the WC (again) and the Olympics. As IPC has said, the SMC group has a lot to prove, and for the sake of Philippine Basketball I hope they perform well, they need to adopt Danding's 80s NCC model for the long term program.

Man is MVP trying to wash his hands off of this after working so hard to get the hosting rights for the World Cup? I am thinking Vargas and the nativist groups have stronger ties with the other stake holders like PBA and UAAP so he couldn't kick him out and bring Tab in. This is the worst decision he could make. SMC under Al Chua has no record of developing players much less an international level team. Getting an NP candidate who is good for Fiba is not simple as you think. We were lucky with Blatche. Just imagine how stagnant our offense would have been if we got McGee.
I would look at candidates similar to Kouame's profile, tall defensive big as a option. So even if we get Kouame back we won't change our play style.

yah, he moved heaven and earth to secure that the country will host the WC, me thinks this has something to do with finances, maybe MPIC real bosses (Salim and co) decided to pull the plug on MVP and his side projects..hmm

^^ That's what i thought too. Maybe the golden goose has laid its final egg and MVP's pocket is not limitless.... and as chairman of a very large conglomerate, his priorities are to please Metro Pacific's board of directors and the stockholders, and not the SBP.
So that maybe that's the reason.
