PBA insider

As expected, Jamie Malonzo won’t be playing in the coming window due to injury. There’s also talk that he could be traded back to an Smc farm team.

Nothing concrete, just rumors at this point.

Jamie for Arvin swap Again??? Hahaha

Jamie for Arvin swap Again??? Hahaha

Maybe for Navarro or future picks.. Tolentino is a defensive liability.. Ginebra needs 2 way players.. Or maybe Cade Flores...

[Joe Yabuki]

Cone doesnt want Arvin, I think Arvin has never been better in the PBA but despite that Cone never takes him for Gilas, hes soured on him bec Arvin cant defend well.

After waiting for so long, it seems CONVERGE might already drop its P1.2 million/month offer to TROY ROSARIO.

“We’ve been here since 2 weeks ago. We can’t wait any longer. It seems he’s waiting for somebody while ignoring our offer and taking it for granted. We tried our best”.

Kuliglig told me TROY ROSARIO is set to sign with Ginebra.

Another kuliglig told me that Ginebra’s contract is allegedly worth P700,000/ month.

More to come.

Crazy if it is true that Rosario chose to sign a much lesser contract and give up 500k a month to join ginebra. But my guess here is that SMC and Converge came to an agreement that Converge withdraw their offer and allow ginebra to sign Rosario as part of the trade for Jordan Heading.

Probably includes some perks/kabuhayan package/ bonusws which can offset the converge offge

well converge dodged a bullet, they’ll be overpaying for a 30+ yr old rosario

Is that other package from SMC all includes any SMC players even those bench players? It's hard to believe that even the likes of Kyt Jimenez, Raymond Aguilar or Jerick Balanza are included on those perks given by SMC.. maybe the likes of Scottie, LA or Junmar will have those.. how about those fil-ams? I'm sure after they retire they will go back to US.. how they will have those package if they will go back to US (like Caguioa)? Unless they will stay here and take a job like being a coach in any SMC related teams...

I think Converge already set even they lose in Troy sweepstakes.. they have Javillonar, Baltazar and Ben Phillips in their roster.. better to develop those players than raging towards recruitment on Troy... Troy meanwhile, he has to take consequences, Look at Jeron Teng, Vic Manuel, Jackson Corpuz, etc... !!! They pick SMC group due to higher salary but they suffered decreasing their value as assets.. now they are both possible going to MPBL after their confidence lost due to benching.. One conference or two that his game drop and his value will go downwards same as Teng...

Teng is an overrated overpaid guy. He does not have a single high level skill. He is a decent player but he gets paid too much. The guy has been living off his college accomplishments. Just by his skills alone and minus his popularity do you honestly think that he would've gotten the salary he has gotten so far in the PBA?

I think troy will be ok, he’ll inherit Japeth’s position, plus he can shoot and pass

unlike teng and manuel, undersized and cant shoot, cant even play them next to JMF

I think all Troy needs to be for Ginebra is serviceable, not really provide star-level production. Besides, he's 32, and his production throughout his career hasn't been that eye-popping.

I will say though that his defense against JB this past conference was the best defense I've seen him play. TNT should have focused more on that aspect of his game, as well as his motor. I think TNT neglected that part of his game (which unfortunately carried over to Gilas, especially in his later games).

To be fair, in his Converge days he was averaging 12.9 pts, 5.6 rebs. 2.1 assist and 31% in 3pts shooting. 14.2 PER. Which is a First five stats

troy will be a glue guy for bgsm similar to JDV’s role, and the star -level production will come from Holt. Too bad Malonzo is always injured he could be that guy also beign a athletic freak

Let's see.. remember onwubere? He had career games in Northport but was benched by Ginebra.. if troy continues to be inconsistent even in ginebra, he will likely get same fate as onwubere...
