    I think even without the media focus the smart fans are already aware of the lack of balance and the issues destroying the PBA (lopsided trades, blatant disregard of salary cap rules and farm teams).
    If I were a prominent critic of the PBA, my main criticism would be that the PBA treats its fans like idiots. The farm team trades for example, no one believes those are motivated by basketball. But this "parity" or "salary cap" for me is off. If the PBA was strict with its salary cap, all the top talent would be abroad by now. Same with parity, there are negatives to those ideas when you think about it.

      this people think that if the PBA will really be strict with the salary rule top players will go to teams like Rain or Shine, no they will go to other leagues that pay better, but they should really be transparent on how much is the annual salary cap for each team, how many players should be earning this much, and if the teams are over the cap they should pay a luxury tax or like forfeiting a draft pick, the max salary allowed is being use by some teams to lowball their players, no wonder they are having a hard time to renew them, this is the reality in sporting world in order to compete and win teams and athletes invest and spend big

      • The PBA is a BIR scandal waiting to happen. Imagine the amount of collusion happening between players and teams regarding salaries. Remember when Yeng Guiao asked what is the difference between the max salary of an independent team versus the max salary of teams like San Miguel and TNT?

            Won't happen. SMC is a big contributor to election campaign funds.

              No scandal there. They just park it as other expenses. Like fringe benefits. Like teams can give players cars but those cars are book as company cars. Purchase and maintenance can be charge to companies.

                Pba is just a big tax write off : business expense

                nb: the team manager of SMB is the husband of former bir commisioner kim henares (who is a basketball fan as well)

                  Believe me they rather spend the money creating money generating ventures than spend it in PBA. That's why RSA said that he is doing it because of love the game and people.

                          it might be an MVP dominated league or someone like Strong Group will take over, Basketball is too huge and often times have pseudo political / good PR effects on our society.

                            I don't think so. Basketball is just too big & popular in the Philippines for the PBA to just die like that just becoz SMC is no longer in the PBA. A lot of companies would be interested in joining the league. Baka nga SMC withdrawing from the PBA would even be good for the league & Phi basketball as well.

                            • If SMC is out of the PBA, it may even pave the way for the league to grow from 12 teams to 16 teams, which of course will be good for the league (pero wag naman masyadong madaming teams as it will have a detrimental effect on the level of competition). Sino ba ang nagba block sa other companies who are interested in buying PBA franchises in the last 8 years or so? Di ba SMC rin? We all know maeaming companies ang gusting bumili ng PBA franchise/team but SMC has been blocking it.

                                League might die if smc decides to quit. MVP money alone cant keep the PBA afloat

                                and no other group/tycoon has the same financial resources or is willing to pour that much money on basketball
