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

[IshmaelM]

They have secured the backcourt of Gilas by having Romeo and Ravena inside the MVP stable.


This trade is a win-win for me for both teams. Romeo gives TNT that firepower needed for the DDO and Taha is that big willing to do the dirty work to allow the guards to do their thing. Since TNT looks like to be forever using the DDO, they most likely want a big who's not going to be ball dominant in the post. I think Taha fits that role.

I would say for GBP it's a gamble to get Tatuaa because it's a wait and see how he'll turn out but his potential is still so high that you would rather have someone like him in your team and have a crack at him to unleash that potential. The Pringle-Tatuaa combo is something to look forward to.

Globalport started losing again when Romeo played. They were better off with Pringle as the clear number one and Nabong as the number two. Pringle will make life easier for Mo. And Pido knows a thing or two about big men with his stint at UST. Worst case Mo wil be a replacement for the hothead Nabong. Best case, Nabong sticks with it and he and Mo will form the most powerful frontline in the league.

Its a no lose situation for GBP.

For TNT I guess they are gambling since Mo is not working out for them. But I see little upside in getting a 5'10 SG who cannot and is not a willing passer and who cannot defend. They even gave up their 2020 first pick. I wouldve given up RR Garcia instead of the first pick. So if this trade blows up in their face they will really suck and have a good draft spot for at least two years. Taha is a journeyman and a career backup. I dont see any upside to his game. I dont see any victories for TNT here. First, they gave up a still serviceable RDO then they get no. 1 crocs, Romeo, as Castros successor. Goodluck with that. TNT is too in love with DDO.

Whatever happened to AVO? Is he still part of Global Port?

injured.

[Silent Killer]

injured.

Nope. He became a model

[reamily]

Sure, he is a big. But he is far from being dominant. Afaik he was not even a rotation player in Wake Forest.

Ryan Gregorio virgil "may naiwan pang gamit" villavicencio and whoever is handling tnt team will make sure he hill be the second coming of cs with rdo range lol...

[DiyeykSayrus]

globalport doesnt like to have rr garcia at all. he played alongside romeo on globalport during their rookie seasons. the 2021 & 2022 picks i think is what makes the trade a win-win for globalport. that draft class may have outstanding players selected to play for the 2023 world cup.

gbp really sell romeo high but tnt getting taha might be some fairness..as it would depend on them if they treat taha like a frank golla

That remains to be seen.

What I am saying is there's no way TNT would let other teams get him.

Won't be surprised if Rike plays with Gilas in the 3rd window then maybe the Jones Cup or another tourney and thus becomes eligible for the draft.

May agent na pala si Rike sa IBN tulad ni Ryan "The Ranger" Wetherell.

Aww, poor fellow. It's okay bud, I'll pretend that's funny.

He won't be part of the 23for23 if he isn't. Stranger things have happened. If Boo Tratter was able to play with Gilas, then...

then he can qualify directly to pba..thru the cadet program or jones cup

[Sikatrix]

Troy Rike was a walk on much like Wetherell and I think Denver Lopez. But he has height and if the likes of Abu Tratter can make Gilas, then he should have a shot. Wouldnt hype him up yet though. His career high was 3pts. For comparison, Kobe Paras career high (1 yr as a freshman) was 6.

[mangangalakal]

That's already double Kobe's career high. lololol

He's working hard now and very focus......in winning the modeling search sponsored by that famous canned tuna brand
