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

[wowow]

BCAP sucks!!! They can't even help or improve our basketball here and they have guts to say no to foreign coaches here.. tim cone is still a foreign coach, as well as black, compton.. the only best homegrown coach is Coach Yeng guiao..

And Franz Pumaren

[analyzed]

Will be interesting to see how Mark Dickel does with TnT, he's looking forward to the challenge

[sajubeads]

He is only 23. Can he play in the PBA without playing in the D league? I dont think so.

The move to the Phil is forthcoming... He will play for MPBLs Pampanga Lanterns... Remember that MPBL 26 game season last for 11 months, so only 1-2 games per month, so in between he can play At D League to get his residency.. He can join next years 2019 draft..

Closed door din ba to laban ng Phoenix at Meralco? Lol

Trans: Flies all over Araneta. Looks like very few people missed PBA.

Filipinos have shown a huge disinterest with PBA in the recent years. I don't know how will the association address this one but ff no action to be done, then I guess PBA wouldn't see its 50th year.

I said it once. What is killing the pba is it's insistence of doing an all year-3 conferences format. Overexposure is killing them. May sawa factor na kasi on the part of the fans. 3 conference format not only kills fans' interests towards the league but also slowly damaging their players.

Yes, for highly physical pro sports, 8 months of hectic schedules are the realistic limit that balances commercial interests and personal well-being of athletes.

The profit motives can be addressed by having at least one week a month for provincial tours. Less traffic and better interest in provincial centers. The mmda traffic is killing the capital tournaments; few are stupid enough to waste 3-5 commuting hours of their daily lives just to go to baller stadia. Actually long-term sports devt is best served by having fast, extremely convenient light rail access to stadia, eg, extending taft-edsa mrt to sm's moa and new olympic-style facilities with own small hypermodern airport in land recovered from manila bay. Everyone is also happier with lots of trophies and mvp tansans (softdrink crowns) awards. 3 tournaments over 8 months is reasonable.

Besides, international exposure is the major skills and competitivess pressure development route. Commercial leagues will never encourage players to handle "is there more i can do best?" question that creates ultimate capabilities against the strongests strangers. If the nba did not welcome foreign players, the americans would have lost a lot more world championships as other nations began catching up.

The home-and-away fiba format is brutal on coaches, but less injurious to players. Exposure to fiba tournaments destroys the barangay-low playing styles. You can see how astonishing uaap games are today. A lot of the uaap bigs are moving like international players, and defenses are much better structured. The top 5 uaap teams today i think would have destroyed champions 10-15 years ago.

tama. magsasawa rin mga tao. even now that there are lots and lots of form of entertainment. volleyball is really popular. millenials have UAAP and NCAA for their cravings. and believe it or not MPBL is really popular with the young people. heck im even more excited when UAAP season is comming.nakakamiss.

The ideal length for a basketball league per season is around 5 to 8 months. I think PBA is good for 7-8 months. 4 month off season will serve for players as recovery period for their injuries as well as development where they will spent it to train more on their individual skills. It will also open the possibility of engaging with other leagues for tune up games.

Even NBA has a 3 month off season period 3 and a half if you count from the very last game of the season (finals) up to the start of the next season.

Takot silang mawalan ng fans if they do a few months of off season? Wrong! They did that before and they were able to sustain the popularity of the league. Although the profits got lessen because of fewer games, the interest of the people remains because they don't feel the sawa factor dahil may 3 months off season on those years.

For as long as the same old people are running the PBA, the league will continue to struggle for its existence. The league needs younger people to take over the league.

Very much agree with you.

Ang PBA kasi parang babae rin eh. Kahit maganda & sexy, pag araw-araw mong nakikita magsasawa ka rin. Pero pag once a week mo lang nakikita, lalo mong hahanap-hanapin.

i do think even if they put a young person to handle the PBA as commissioner its the same old people who are in the board. di talaga uubra. even ABL is ran very well buy a young commissioner. i agree pba must be only two conference. last time they had two conference, i was really excited when the new season is comming.

Bakit kay Cardo di pa din nagsasawa mga tao?

I hope MPBL can become our own version of NBA

[reamily]

kay cardo libre.. sa pba ba libre manoo ld sa venue .. and besides the core audience of pba are still there.. they just dontbwant to watch live with youtube, hd tv being the norm.. its not like on college where la sallistas go payabangan with ateneans and students from feu being required to watch...

ayay kasi ng pba sa stadium 29 like arenas...and rich people dont want the games be held in araneta..walang pagtatambayan sa cubao ngayon..
