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

[Dotch]

Scottie's the new face of the franchise. That trade, if it happens, might be a franchise-defining move. If ever, trade him for PICKS so Ginebra can get a new franchise player.

There are a few fans congratulating Scottie, and saying 'basketball na lang,' around those lines. Personally, I'll still support him as a Ginebra player, but honestly, I don't know if he's my favorite player anymore.

Man, that cheating is gonna be an issue if SMC doesn't handle it.

Mehhh...who's going to reprimand him? Alfrancis Chua? Abby Poblador said hi, greek style.

I'm really really curious. How come he impregnated the girl during the bubble where people could not go in and out of it?

Maybe he met the girl thru social media during the bubble out of boredom.

There were also screenshots circulating in FB where Scottie allegedly has a tinder account and was verified. So i think that was the clinching evidence.

The wedding was early June btw. Which was approx. 2 to 3 weeks ago.

thanks for the fact check, well these are athletes in the peak of their physical conditioning which entails high libido, they'll find ways to get sex, plus the girl is from the area anyway, saw pictures of the wedding as leaked by Snow Badua (what an @ss), girl does indeed look pregnant

The wedding was leaked about a week ago, there was a video showing up on my Youtube recommendations. But I didn't click it as I thought it was just clickbait. Imagine my surprise when he trended on Twitter for the wrong reason.

It's interesting to see how Ginebra management will handle Thompson's case.
He and AJ had a good chemistry. Baka makaapekto...

The problem is, the average Pinoy basketball fan is allergic to Fil-Fors and PH basketball in general (players, coaches, and fans) is very insular and protectionist. So local players and coaches don't want foreigners taking away their jobs? Then GIT GUD SCRUBS. That's how the game of basketball improves everywhere, by increasing the level of competition. Like sharpens like.

Does the PBA not know that revenue will be better in the long run if the level of competition is higher? The better our NT and pro league perform internationally, the more likely that better players will be coming over here to play, hindi yung puro latak na lang nakukuha natin because of the height restrictions and allowing only one import.

People look at China and be like, "Why are they dominating in Asia and are competitive in the world stage without any foreign players?" Well, they have a much better basketball system and the CBA has more money to entice NBA level players to come over and play, and the locals only get better out of it.

The PBA may not have the money to pull NBA level players over here to play, but what they can do is remove the freaking limits on the number of imports and the height floors. Dapat nga dalawa o tatlong imports with unlimited height para sa lahat ng team eh, like what China, Lebanon, Japan, and other Asian leagues are doing.

The PBA and the locals should allow a few PBA teams to be all FIL AMS, FIBA Ineligibles, or all American along w/ no height limit. Just have two MVP teams, 2 SMC Teams, Rain or Shine, Alaska vs these three new teams. If the locals want $, then prove it by beating the competition. Filter out the players who are just local level and promote world caliber players.

I'm all for locals but they should earn their keep. I like JF and Scottie but they didn't outperform their teams import for the FINALS MVP. Awards should be for everyone but only give it to the best players.

Actually, yeah. Awards should go to the best players regardless of nationality. Thing is, the nature of the season (like having an All-Filipino conference) prevents awards like MVP and DPOY from being awarded to imports. It should enable us to up our game.

And, this might give teams a lesson on import selection. If you're too loaded scoring-wise, how about get an import which can plug a hole in your roster? We should get this 'asa sa import' mentality out of our systems. Go to scoring imports only when you're in need of scoring help (well, except for probably resident imports).

All Filipino should be scrapped. It should have been locals, filams, FIBA ineligibles, the naturalized players, and imports. Let the cream rise to the top. It means more when JF beats Brownlee/Balkman for MVP with similar stats instead of being teammates or local rule.

The use of import has been a bandaid for scoring. It should have been for defense from a tactical view as people can argue we don't have defensive minded bigmen. Douthit and now Kouame are the perfect examples of that. No secret that the NT's did well when the locals all got scoring opportunity and were also seen as key pieces.

Castro was the top Asian PG when paired with a defensive big

Cba is scrapping gheir imports this upcoming season..
