Brondial rejects 2-year extension offer from Alaska

He'll sign with SMB?

[hmbopbaduwap]

And now Ginebra keep their bigman depth chart for the next 3 years. At least they can keep looking for LA's successor (which I think should be Scottie or Salado), and probably another wing.

Plus they can elevate Maurice Shaw in the 5x5 come All Filipino conference and if they qualify in the EASL

This is the start of many examples of new UFA rule in the pba.. first it was gab banal, now it’s brondial.. but it is also fault of Alaska.. masyadong kuripot.. why ROS keep the likes of nambatac, torres, caracut and asistio? Because ROS give their players the right value for them.. Aside from smc and MVP teams, ROS is one of best mange teams in the pba…

Ok it's confirmed, Rodney signs with SMB

The signing came just hours after SPIN.ph reported that Brondial turned unrestricted free agent under the seven-year rule after failing to come to terms on a new contract with the Aces.

At San Miguel, Brondial will be reunited with college coach Leo Austria, who handled the 31-year-old power forward at Adamson.

Calls and text messages made to Austria and team manager Gee Abanilla haven't been replied as of post time.
Brondial was a first-round pick (No. 6) of Barangay Ginebra as part of the 2014 draft class - the first to avail of unrestricted free agency under the seven-year rule.

In a social media post, Alaska team manager Richard Bachmann admitted both parties failed to come to terms on a two-year deal offered to Brondial by the Aces.

"We did offer a two-year contract, but I guess that was not enough," said Bachmann.

The Alaska executive admitted Brondial just exercised his right as an unrestricted free agent - a status that gives him the right to choose the team he wanted to play for.

"Rodney is part of the batch of players that become free agents when their contract expires. Free to choose which team to go to."

Yeah, he might provide some extra depth in the bigman position. That is, if he plays well.

He won't be much use, though. He's already 36, going 37.

Big Difference between NBA and PBA in terms of Resigning and FA period is:,

Nba Orig Team have this "Bird Rights" that allows to go over the cap

Aside from salary, retirement package of SMB and TNT is significant better than Alask. In Alaska Grand slam team, who are still with the team? Cariaso is the only one I see.

I prefer this free agency signings over both annual drafts and trades.

Not really orig teams. Basta, any team that has a player for 3 or more years. However, the Bird rights resets anytime a player gets signed by a team other than his previous team. No reset in case of trades.

OK, Ginebra just shored up their backcourt depth by signing John Pinto.

According to an international agent there were no formal offers to Japeth from B. League teams

https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/a...ginebra/229180

Back in December, Aguilar only had a few days left in his existing contract.

Of course, there was interest for him from B.League teams. However, with Aguilar still under an existing contract with Ginebra, no team attempted to make a formal offer. It would have risked another debacle like what happened with Kiefer Ravena a few months back if it did.

“Interested teams in Japeth never got a chance to make an offer to him mainly because he still had a contract,” said a foreign agent based in Japan, who requested anonymity.

“And they were in a rush.”

Aguilar had apprehensions over the past two months.

With a deal on the table from the San Miguel Corporation, Aguilar did not want to lose it. Taking a gamble meant that he would enter free agency.

What if SMC pulls the contract out? What if the best deal he can get in the B.League is just a one-year deal?

Aguilar’s camp had hoped for a quick offer sheet from the few teams they had spoken with. But it was an impossible feat, especially with the ongoing pandemic.

"So it never got to a point where an offer was made to him,” the source added.

“Besides, Japan has yet to open its borders for new entries that’s why teams in Japan have just been rotating imports.”

In the end, Aguilar ended up signing with the only real deal he had. After all, it’s still food on the table.

Pinto to Ginebra

Meralco keeps on losing their guards this past year. Trading away Amer and Jackson. Now losing Pinto on free agency. Do they have guards on the reserve/injury list to make up for Pinto’s departure?
