Saw this in Manila Times, before the Erram report came out.

So.....

TnT - Erram
Nlex - anthony semerad + 1st round pick tnt + future 1st round pick blackwater
Blackwater - Magat + Dacquioag + another tnt first round pick

Thoughts:

TNT gave up dacquiaog very quickly. Parang Parks insurance siya, once parks is ok. They send him off agad.

Nlex - 2 first round picks. And alam naman natin kunin na kagad ang 1st round pick ang blackwater and we know it will be a high draft pick again. So habang wala pa draft order harvest time na for NLex. Who it might be next season? Munzon? Thirdy? Kobe Paras? Justin Baltazar?
Mike williams? Mikh Mickinney?

In the long run panalo ang Nlex dito. Considering they will get tnt's first round pick as well.

I woyld say good trade for tnt and nlex. Bad for blackwater, but they are farm team anyway.

TNT wants to win now. So they get a big man. That is their weakness.

Blackwater will improve slightly with magat and dacquioag but they destroy their future by giving up their picks.

Nlex won this trade. That draft pick by bw is really huge. It can be Thirdy,paras, or even Kai Sotto(Wag naman sana).
And given the talent of drfteas in succeeding years, even tnt's pick is worth it. Remember when Ginebra traded KG and John Wilson and Espiritu to air 21 for air 21 pick via 3 team trade. Thry got Greg Slaughter. And coach yeng is good in drafting players.
Semerad is not trash. He will thrive with coach yengs system. Even I remember they have issues and fights in the past.

I think for parks before going to ginebra, he should help his ninong get over the hump. Imo minus the hate parks is a much much better player than newsome.. who ball hogs the life of meralco in offense..

[CoJ]

I don't know why MVP put Parks on TNT.. Parks is better on Meralco... Meralco needs a franchise player, who can save their franchise.. Their legit go to guy, Parks can't be fit on TNT because he needs the ball too much eh we all know that TNT is still Castro's team..

TNT is the flagship and their best chance against SMB and BGSM, too bad Castro can't play along with incoming superstars, they wasted Romeo before, i doubt they will let Parks go without getting something equal of value..


on another note, SMB should just tank, but who am I kidding, the evil empires don't tank, they reload

because norman doesn’t want to let go newsome and even amer..

Scrap points parks can score even he wasnt involved in offense something that troy and pogoy can't do. He moonlighted in alab with brownlee and balkman as 2 alpha scoring options, sure the guy knew his spots...

every team is a farm team for the SMC-MVP-PBA league. I truly believe that the other teams should create a new league. It is already turning into a circus and the players are just becoming pawns

[greenarcher]

I don't know why Alaska hasn't sold their franchise yet. It's obvious they don't have the money to compete with the big boys.

They're lucky Manuel hasn't demanded a trade yet.

Uytengsu waxing nostalgic probably. The majority shareholder (Friesland Campina) is actually not interested in the franchise, but Uytengsu, as the original owner, has voting power

I agree, but do Alaska and RoS have the balls to bolt the PBA?

[Money]

And remember until 2023, The PBA will hold special Gilas cadet draftees, so NLEX will get 2 players for their future plans.. They can get Thirdy in special draft, while getting Malonzo or Baltazar in Regular draft via Blackwater pick.. TIBA TIBA NLEX dito..

NLEX still has a decent lineup even without Erram. plus they added Mcaloney another serviceable big.

Cruz. Ravena. Alas. Quinahan. Ayon2x. Mcaloney. Porter. Miranda. Soyud. etc etc.

According to an insider twitter:

"Inside the PBA" the Poy Erram trade daw is vetoed by the pba committee.

How true is that? Hahahaha

[el scorcho]

They (TNT) want to get the best asset of NLEX (Erram) and best asset of BW (first round pick) and all they will give is Magat,Daquioag and two first rounds of their own which will have low value.

They should at least give up someone of value--like Parks.

no need to create a new league since its common practice naman , same as in the nba and all rich professional sports teams.

what the pba needs to do is to stop sister teams of using a 3rd team as a conduit in player movements , trades should be done 1 on 1 between 2 teams only and players that have been traded recently can only be traded again after a season with his current team.

I don't know why BW will give up a first round pick for Daquioag and Magat. Tama lang na ma-veto yung trade.

Masyadong obvious ang BW dito. Conduit na nga lang sila, nagbigay pa ng pabonus sa NLEX. LOL!
