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

I think isnt Long hair he had a falling out, not even Rsa, its Danding when James supported Zamoras instead of his kumpares mistress..

Speaking of Yap, he"s about to sign with blackwater, so i guess Magnolia’s grudge is still there despite danding's death years ago

Alas is still injured so maybe once he is healthy.

Of all teams why blackwater?

[reamily]

I don't think he'll get paid in that range, but pot money from side bets in this kind of Ligang Labas is probably from 100k-150k range

tax free is key here (if he can play 10 games in average of 20 k)and a mpbl team or chooks can give him 200k.. that covers up the 300k with converge..even with won game bonuses

Maybe its tge only team willing to give him the money and playing time???

He's 39, and he only scored at an elite level in his peak (and he hit 40%+ of his shots for only 5 seasons, 2 of which were past his prime), nothing else. That ability has faded now.

I missed James Yap's so called prime. But watching him in San Mig Coffee's 4-peat run I couldn't understand why he was being compared to Patrimonio. Yes he was clutch. But he wasn't played much because of his sub par defense. The only reason Lassiter wasn't owning him every time was Yap was allowed to use his hands a bit on defense.

What a dumbass.

[IPC]

1st step in Ange’s FIBa exemption case is for the PBA to allow him to play as a local, kinda fubar that his own domestic league doesnt recognize him as a local

Or any NP for that matter.

Tyler Tio was a naturalized citizen, and he was allowed to play as a local. At the very least, give NPs like Brownlee, Douthit, and Ange a full-time roster spot.

Yap officially signs with Blackwater and will be sporting jersey no.15

[IPC]

I can understand that Douthit, Blatche even JB might be too good for our locals but is Ange really that much of a threat? He could go to an independent team not a farm team who won't trade him for peanuts so he could join up with Jap/CS/JF/Tautua

Ange's offensive game has developed in France, though. Averaging 10 points in 20 minutes a game.

He has a hook shot, and can finish with his left hand. If he develops further offensively, he can be the perfect center in our setting.

Its looking like Berto and BGR are headed to TNT while Galinato, Aurin and Tungcab are the most likely to be shipped out coupled with a draft pick or two. Blackwater still discussing with Cariaso on who they will let go being the conduit team to facilitate the Bolick trade, they are trying to get Rosario to NLEX but Cariaso is opposed to the idea of trading Troy.
