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

[IPC]

In comparing leagues, in my opinion, you ALWAYS include imports who are full-time players. That's a big reason why I put the KBL and even the B.League above the PBA at the moment. Full-time imports increase the talent level.

If the PBA could scrap All-Filipino and import height limits, and allow imports to play full-time, I think they can close the gap.

They could make the All-Filipino conference a mid-season knock out style tournament. they could add 4 teams. 1 each from MPBL, VisMin, FilBasket and the Philippine based ABL team in the tournament to make it an ideal 16 team field. Heck, this could be done in 10 days. First weekend is the opening round, and on the last weekend, Saturday is the Final 4, and the championship on the Sunday.

Are there any other (top) leagues in Asia that has all-domestic tournaments?

None.

SG and PG are packed. Can you see this lineup beating SMB's Death 5 at its peak?

i dont, Fajardo is too much for any MPIC big, prime Marcio and Cabagnot would be a headache

[digitalsuperman]

Mikey Williams seems like a headache. might as well trade him for CJ Perez

its obvious that he doesnt want to play for TNT and is forcing his way out, but i doubt smc will trade cj perez for him, smb would just probably trade any bedan or atenean on their roster for Mikey

they have good trade relationship. so i think thats possible.

I think Perez has earned their trust. They wont trade him even for Mikey. Also, Mikey might be Cabagnot on steroids but Perez is their best perimeter defender right now and essentially their best two way player.

[JOI2dWorld]

the only thing that TNT can get from SMC group is like what they received from the Terrence Romeo trade, if they really want to offload him (Mikey) i think converge is their best option, independent team that i think can pay, one go to guy away to become a legit contender and has good assets that TNT can choose

In the business front:

So what does this mean? Meralco now has lost one of its suppliers ( SMC's subsidiary) , which means they have to scramble how to mitigate the lost 670MW supplied , which can lead to lost income, right? SMC said, the plant was a money pit. So now SMC is kinda saving money.

Outside of the court, SMC is also beating MVP teams

if MPIC/ Meralco will cut costs due to this development, unnecessary business expense, such as owning a sports franchise, would be cut. So we could expect a firesale of Meralco assets (pba ah), in the near future

if SMC is also cutting costs, then probably they cant offer large salaries to players that are being eyed by the Bleague,Japan or Taiwan.

Inflation has hit everyone hard

Wow it really happened. I'm not sure how I feel with a known gambling lord managing a PBA team
