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

Maganda naman nilaalro niya past conference tehy why play through it if there is a japan offer he can go there as it will not violate pba upc

I do get your point, in the end of the day, right, the PBA is a business and not a charity, they need to generate income to justify their existence to their bosses, and if the current structure is the best for the league to earn and recover from the pandemic, so be it. Anyway the PBA's primary purpose is not for basketball development, but generate income, heck thats the very reason why they bolted out of MICAA and BAP in the 1st place..

Believe me its not generating enough income to even breakeven the cost they spend for years now. They treat owning a PBA team as a marketing expense in financial terms. They really want to own professional team and they love basketball and winning. Players in PBA do develop, like JC, Thompson, alot of Big man 3pt shooting improves.

point taken, some of the owners are indeed operating at a loss and pure motivation is really the love for the gane (i.e. the uytengsu's, ROS ownership, and to some extent MVP)

If Carino make it atleast Div.2 of B-League then why not him (Greg)? He's eligible as local player there.... Or maybe an ABL stint for Greg....

well for one, Greg needs to secure a clearance/release from Northport and the PBA which is a standard FIBA protocol for players transferring to a foreign league.

No contract for JV Mocon. Converge should get him.

Really? That was unexpected, afaic. Maybe they’re banking on Mamuyac and Ildefonso’s development. But I’m thinking Mocon’s asking price might be too steep now for RoS’ liking.

Does it mean that mocon is now UFA?

When did it expire?

[thatweirdguy]

Mocon still not yet UFA... He's alongside Perez, Bolick and Parks as 2018 batch... He will be UFA at 2025, or after your 7 years of playing in the PBA... unless ROS decide to release him unconditionally... I don't think ROS will do that, the same way what they did to Wong... He is ROS top 3 player today.... ROS should sign and trade him to have a value that Mocon will left to them...

Maybe I am biased but I'd rather keep Mocon and trade Nambatac

If Converge underperforms this upcoming season. And will have a high pick.

I will feel sad for Nlex. For sure MVP group will force them to trade it again to TNT via a 3 team trade.

Remember when they basically traded Mikey (4th pick) for ...... Trollano. Lmao.

Poor Coach Yeng

just as i was feeling good about nlex's deal, you just made me remember that it will likely end up with TNT haha.

wait, i thought first rounders are no longer tradeable for the first year? or is it just for the first overall pick?

MVP have no choice but to strengthen TNT to compete with SMC e.

Unless, they will try to strengthen Nlex or Meralco.

If Coach Yeng will be frustrated with Nlex management decisions. I think he can go to SMB and coach them. Lol.

Let's see if Coach Yeng can handle SMB Players egos.

But, I remember Coach Yeng have some "utang na loob" with MVP group in relation to his govt position e. Haha

Murrell and Hill to Converge, 2023 Converge 1st rounder to NLEX.

Wow. NLEX and Converge might know aomething about Hill that the rest of the PH basketball nation dont. Or this early Converge is doing moves for future favors or other reasons. Lets revisit this next year. If Converge plays decently and gets a mid pixk its ok. But if they get a top 4 pick or better this is suspicious.

Converge really betting on La Salle talent. Vales, Go now Hill. Maybe they are talking to Byrd?
