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

[reamily]

PBA should just expand to 15 teams already. Sayang ung madaming bench players, UFA, at undrafted players. Madaming talented pero very limited lang talaga ung teams.

Pba board is greedy, they demand you 200 million pesos as entry fee..and having an owner like rsa who just dont care as long as hes winning ( at least si danding marunong makisama and do give other teams championship runs while rsa has that at all cost directive to the point that you hoard all the big men out there..)

[reamily]

Anyway, Manila North Harbour Port, Inc (MNHPI) is 50% owned by SMC and 50% owned by Enrique Razon's ICTSI. Is this the reason why NorthPort Batang Pier isn't labeled as SMC team in the PBA yet? They are waiting for SMC to increase its stake to at least 51%?

Smc practically owns 5 teams in the pba northport thru the old coca cola team( its like north port is just leasing the team from them) and phoenix ( thru the old red bull barako franchise who was the first smc farm team in the rsa era) kung isasama mo columbian after pacquiao left thats 6..

work is work, 3x3 is not a bad option especially for those who have borderline skills and limited real world skills (not to mention didnt take college seriously).

not everyone is cut to play in the highest level of pro play in the country, similar to the nba, hundreds of d1 ncaa schools plus numerous international prospects yet only 30 teams, the cream rises to the top and only the fit should belong to the PBA, thus it should not add teams for the mere sake of accommodating all the displaced and the aspiring athletes, i would rather have the league address parity first before adding teams. i think the days of midget ball would end if talent in the league is distributed evenly among teams.

its similar to any other career actually, only the select few, the best of the best, gets the highest posts. Corporate or academe, public or private sector, only few slots are available and only the best (in theory) should hold the post.

i think adding a team or two would be enough (indy team ah not farm team) but more than that would saturate the talent pool, just like how the mpbl expanded too soon which led to an awful product.

personally though i don't pity that much those who did not make the league, they had their scholarships in college, they should be equipped with the employable skills outside basketball, like the rest of us. Plus, its a competitive environment, its high level pro play not a charity or affirmative action program for the aspiring pros

and pinoy fans should treat the 3x3 seriously. we can actually excel on this event.. it’s only lately that sbp took 3x3 seriously.. you can travel the world if ever that team won the championship and play in master leagues and some qualifiers to master tournaments..

also, 3x3 suits the larong kanto mentality of pinoys, and we have a higher chance of having a podium finish in the world stage in 3x3 than the regular FIBA, if marketed correctly, PBA 3x3 could be a gold mine (i just feel sad for mascarinas and all his efforts on 3x3 basketball).

vertically challenged filipino players with non exceptional skills could actually be serviceable/ be quality players. Gain not all is suited for 5x5, not everyone is gifted with high level skills

Yeah, give the 5x5 to the taller and more skilled players.

Diyan na nga yumaman si Dusan Bulut and his Novisad teammates sa dami ng pot money napalanunan nila sa Masters lol..He even got drafted in the Big 3 Tournament but did not got the chance to play because FIBA 3x3 did not give him clearance

https://www.cbssports.com/big3/news/...ons-from-fiba/

One of the bigger international names will be not be participating in the BIG3 this summer.

Serbian point guard Dusan Bulut has withdrawn from the BIG3 after being allegedly threatened with not being able to play in the Olympics if he didn't leave the league. Bulut was set to participate in the three-on-three league and was selected by the Ball Hogs with the 24th pick of the 2019 BIG3 draft.

"I am extremely disappointed to announce that I will no longer be able to participate in the BIG3," Bulut said in a statement. "As a competitor, the opportunity to compete against former NBA players and some of the best 3v3 players in the world was something I was very much looking forward to. However, due to FIBA threatening me with sanctions that included my eligibility to participate in the Olympics, I was forced to withdraw my name from the BIG3. I am very grateful to the Big3 for giving me the opportunity to participate in their league by draft me and hope at some point down the road, my dream can turn into a reality."

Bulut was threatened with sanctions that could've resulted in him not being able to participate in the 2020 Olympics. Upon learning of the situation, the Serbian star decided to pull out of the Big3.


"We want him to play, but FIBA is threatening that he won't be able to be eligible for the Olympics," BIG3 founder Ice Cube told TMZ. "I think they're scared."

"We want to do whatever Bulut wants to do. We want to get him in the BIG3, but we don't want to mess up his chances to be in the Olympics."

EuroHoops is reporting that FIBA rules don't prohibit athletes from participating in other three-on-three leagues. It also doesn't have any bearing on what a player's eligibility is concerning the Olympics.

Case in point, Mongolia who is currently no.7 in the Fiba 3x3 World Rankings

I don't care if he wants to leave, I'm only blaming his wrong decisions but not hating on him.. What he did is breaking the "gentlemans's agreement" with his management.. If you were in TNT's shoes, Or in MVP's shoes? Are you OK what Parks did that first he says that he will attending family matters but later nabuking nila with Roger Casugay in La Union? Kaya sya tinatawag na "Barbie" because paiba iba lagi takbo ng utak nya and di matino kausap, Just what he and Calvin issues before that Calvin already talk to him and say sorry but Parks says NO, Do you think who's telling the truth, Speak to yourself and check social media who has media sympathy? And i'm not hating him, Just like Kai Sotto's mistake on picking FIBA qualifiers rather than G-League, Pinuna lang ang diskarte nya eh Haters agad?.. Mali lang talaga diskarte nya.. There are many options that Parks can do w/o breaking trust with his management.. As i said if he wants a trade then talk to management just like Vic Manuel did!! Mahirap ba sabihin yun? O baka he still wants to play for TNT because he thinking that he can grab more money with MVP because he thinks that they will give him that salary that he wants? Kagahaman na yun!!! Or if he wants to play overseas then he should to MVP or TNT managements about his plans.. Kahit anu pa argumento nyo eh Parks did wrong, He started it.. And in the end Parks will come back and talk to TNT management.. Even Quinito Henson stated that Parks career will be on jeopardy if he's not humble himself and talk to management & apologize on what he did.. And last imbes na 2025 eh he can be qualified for UFA eh it will be add another year because he skip 1 year.. So he will be qualified for UFA in 2026 with Adams.. Sinasayang lang nya career nya due to poor career decisions that he made..

Wow! You're really that naive to believe Snow Badua's narrative huh. LOL. And your measure of truth is based on the number of social media sympathies? HAHAHAHA Bro those Facebook attack dogs of Badua we're all typical peenoise. And you've demonstrated AGAIN that you're on the same wave length with them. Ignorance is not an excuse bro. Huwag mo tambayan yan. Do yourself a favor. And yep, you're plainly hating. End of discussion.

P.S And you act and sound like Snow Badua too, whenever he gets pikon/pissed off when somebody refutes his tsismis. Tingnan mo 'tong reply mo kay Cocoy sa PBA Draft thread: "Maybe you are the guy that until now you still depending to your parents, Baka pag hinarap ka ng sapakan eh duwag ka naman!!!Naghahamon kapa ng pustahan eh Bahag naman et*t* mo!!! Hahahahahahaha!!!"

[one21guns]

Eh bopols ka pala eh. Hindi naman ikaw kausap in the first place. I was just pertaining to one21guns post guilty ka masyado. From small ball na di magets to yun pala positionless. Tapos Erram is a top 3 big man. What a f"cking joker. Wala talaga kwenta kausapin ka.

HAHAHAHAHA Bro, easyyy. Ikaw pala matindi galit eh. Hahaha! Chill!

Parks ready to step away in basketball.. I know that you are one of the villains in social media.. Goodluck on your new journey outside basketball, Although he wants to play overseas, including Japan's B-League but he's aware on FIBA, SBP & PBA clearance... Di nila na appreciate talent mo.. I know you still upset on what happened in last awards night that even He's top statistical getter but even Mythical 5 he didn't get it.. Masama talaga loob nito panigurado.. He feels that even his co-players in the PBA didn't like him.. Sayang!!! Ngayon ko lang nalaman that Parks is "soft" on handling attacks in social media.. Pasimuno nito si Snow na panay atake kay Parks even he didn't know his true personality..

Oh god what the MVP and the crew are doing to Parks is so bad. Hope FIBA steps in/nudges MVP in the right direction.

Also B League isnt an option yet because he is a dual citizen unless he is not an Asian import.

This line about Parks is so legit:

He remarked how fans could somehow never be happy with his performance
