SMB could be a possibility, and he could fill a hole in the wing. TNT, pwede rin. He provides shooting, an asset valuable to TNT, and he's a tall wing. The playoff teams could really use this guy.
Well, TerraFirma has lost two wings now. Ayan, farm team kasi. Players won't want to play for them if the pay is low, and they're losing consistently.Originally posted by IPC View PostAdams had an opt-out clause in his contract, though, that's why he could become a UFA.
General rule for UFA is still playing for an aggregate period of 7 years to become one. Otherwise, you'd have to have an early opt out option, or get cut from the team.
Looks like opting out does not necessarily make the UFA period kick in. They're really applying the 7-year rule.

Originally posted by ja.he View PostBecause the very system of PBA is flawed. Almost games happen in Metro Manila or in Yñares. Teamnames are products of a company. PBA should encourage less popular teams like Phoenix, ROS, Alaska, NLEX and Meralco to adopt a province for purpose of creating their respective fanbases. Kasi naman, who really wants to support a team of powder-filled milk, a house paint, or gas station? Things will be different if they put names of provinces in their team.
Pampanga NLEX Road Warriors
Caloocan Meralco Bolts
Laguna Alaska Aces
Bulacan Rain or Shine Elasto Painters
Batangas Phoenix Fuel Masters
No need for more popular teams like Ginebra, SMB, Magnolia and TNT to adapt a province since they have already big fanbases.
Per venue:
NLEX - Bren Z. Guiao Sports Complex and Convention Center - 3,000 seats
Meralco - Caloocan Sports Complex - 3,000 seaters
Alaska - Alonte Sports Arena - 6,500 seaters
ROS - Baliuag Star Arena - 5,000 seaters
Phoenix - Batangas City Coliseum - 5,000 seaters
Even if you reach you don"t reach 10k in gate attendance, if you get these smaller arenas jampacked every game, you can generate good revenue. For me, hybrid regionalization will do.
Kume said that once the regionalization plan works in the D-League, then they will they do it with the PBA itself.

Originally posted by IPC View PostGood news that the PBA is saying that they will adjust the calendar for the EASL. The second step would be to allow imports to play in the PBA for the entire season without a height limit and relegate the All-Filipino to the offseason. Another would be to classify naturalized Filipinos as locals under the Fil-foreigner limit. This should help our teams compete there, as a start.
This EASL tournament would provide a second playoffs for PBA teams and the PBA would get a cut. It's gonna be like a 3-conference format, but more suitable for international competition (either between clubs or national teams).
The PBA say that they will give the participating teams leeway. The participating teams won't have games for one week.
Plus, I think the EASL will have to be coterminous with the import conference, and that import conference must not have a height limit. Our teams will have it easier there as an effect, especially the participating teams. Better sana if it's a single-season format, with imports for the whole year. The EASL is held from October to March, which is pretty much almost a whole season's length, so the import tournament has to be held this whole time.

Tsaka na nila isipin ang Visayas at Mindanao if they already figure it out how to make it possible with less cost.
Also, they should try it first to less popular teams.Last edited by ja.he; 01-20-2022, 11:02 AM.Attack

Would it be easier for SMB or MVP teams to get players from farm teams? For example, they will just ask Terrafirma to not much their offer to RFA Adams and they get him without trading anymore. For Terrafirma they continue to get support from those trade partner teams.

In TerraFirma's case with Adams, Cardel's already acting like Adams ain't coming back. He's as good as gone.

Originally posted by ja.he View PostActually, they have this wrong notion in setting-up regional leagues. Why go full-blast Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao when logistics are too costly? Why not try it first in Metro Manila, CALABARZON, Central Luzon and Baguio City? These areas are all connected by expressways so logistics should not be a challenge.

Establish the fanbase. I guess, start with the provinces. It has to be done gradually. Only 2 or 3 teams at the time.

Oh.
I remember people (including me) want an expansion when it was a 10 team league.
Wish Granted. But not that way our wish wanted to be. Not Farm teams. Huhu.
Add expansion teams. But make sure they are a rival rich companies too.
If only Ayala, Gokongwei, SM, Jollibee, Aboitiz, and Razons have interest in pba.
But they are already earning great with their businesses.

Chooks to Go might be that disruptor. The owner has the financial clout, basketball savvy and balls to stand up with the the MVPs and RSAs of the PBA.

It's gonna be like a 3-conference format, but more suitable for international competition (either between clubs or national teams).Originally posted by zairex View PostAs I always say, there is this dream situation and reality. The reality is funding the teams and PBA. 200 million a year is spent per team. Are they going to get any revenue in return and how much? How many people will go to a venue to watch PBA for regular games? Play-offs there is a guarantee and also Ginebra. But the rest of the league can't guarantee of 10K paying audience every regular games.Originally posted by IPC View PostThe EASL will provide another playoff tournament for the fans to watch, even if it's not a Ginebra game. I think the fans would want to watch one of our own take on international teams. And I assume the EASL might share TV and ad revenue among the qualified teams, which will help with the cash flow.
As for getting more fans to watch non-Ginebra PBA games live, the question is how do we make the PBA more attractive to fans? Gilas participation and commitment, better marketing for the other teams?Originally posted by zairex View PostI am talking about PBA only. Season-long, one conference is an issue. Better marketing is good. But what marketing, can you suggest a guarantee marketing strategy to bring fans back for what 60games x 12teams regular season.
However, even with this tournament format, imports should be allowed for the whole season, and with an unlimited height limit for both tournaments, and teams have the option to retain or change the import between tournaments. The EASL runs for five months, roughly one and a half conferences, so both tournaments have to have imports.
