    And that's how it should be, at least for now. It's a great thing that PBA is alloted 2 automatic berths. It only means that, despite its flaws, the EASL organizers still consider PBA as one of the top Asian leagues to this day.

    • Expanded EASL qualification format

      Assuming everything gets back to normal in the next 3 years and PBA still employs multiple-conference format, I hope PBA sets a short EASL qualifying tournament competed by all finalists (or next best finishers if finalists appear for more than one finals series) across all conferences of a particular season. That way, winners and runners-up of the stronger, import-laden conferences are incentivised and get a crack at the fairly-lucrative regional tournament.

      • The PBA will defer participation until the COVID vaccine's available: https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/p...-a793-20210128

        Personally disappointed, but it looks like a fair reason. Hope the vaccine's available for them.

          They are now coordinating with Red Cross for the procurement of vaccines

            • EASL guidelines by Quinito: https://twitter.com/TheDeanQuinito/s...78636137877508

              So, the participants are the B.League, KBL, PBA, Hong Kong League, and P League.

                  It appears that way.

                  • Yeah, no CBA teams as per the Spin.ph article i read earlier. I dunno, but it think next year's EASL season will be less exciting (and less prestigious) due to absence of beefed-up CBA clubs. Having said that, winning the tournament is still not going to be a cakewalk for the qualified (powerhouse) PBA teams.

                      The PBA will have to adjust their import rules for this season now. And the teams that can hang with the other Asian teams will have the best chance.

                      • The teams that match up the best against those of other leagues are I think TNT and Magnolia, primarily due to their defense. They close out and rotate well. Offense isn't too shabby, either.

                        Ginebra's lack of spacing will hurt them here. They, along with SMB, might have a tough time defending due to the composition of their rosters, especially with their 4/5 big rotations, unless the import can play 4 and rotate. Offensively, however, SMB might have a chance due to sheer talent.

                          The 2022-2023 season will start out with the winners and runners-up from each of the Japan, South Korea and Philippines leagues, plus the P. League champion from Taiwan and a Hong Kong-based club called the Bay Area Chun Yu Phoenixes, featuring free-agent players from across the region including mainland China, as the Greater China representatives.

                          Ex-NBA stars Metta World Peace, Baron Davis and Shane Battier are on board as brand ambassadors. And each club will be allowed two foreign imports plus an extra Asian import in 12-man rosters for each EASL game.

                          But there'll be a big emphasis on tapping local talent.

                          The debut season will feature eight clubs playing home and away and run concurrently with the domestic leagues.

                          There are plans for expansion to a 16-team competition in season three. And the Chinese Basketball Association is in close proximity.

                            I was wondering about the definition of this Asian import. Does this term cover those from the Middle East and Central Asia or is this quota limited to East and Southeast Asians?

                            The way I see it, if PBA teams can tap an Asian player, they will most likely enlist a player from West Asia just like what they did in the past.

                              Absolutely. And since the tournament's schedule will be from October to March, it should be a no-brainer for the PBA heads to schedule the 1st conference (reinforced by 2 world imports on a combined 65~70-mpg PT restriction) within the said period. That way, PBA clubs would hire their imports before their September training camp and would have already spent a considerable amount of time assimilating to their respective teams' playing systems. It would be harder for the PBA representatives to come up with very respectable showings if both teams will have chemistry issues with their respective world imports due to last-minute addition.

                                So basically:

                                - The PBA teams only get use their 6'10 imports once every 2-3 weeks if they still insist on having the Governor's Cup/off-season/All-Filipino unchanged
                                - The away teams play at MoA or Araneta while the PBA teams might have to travel longer during the winter
                                - Come the 2nd round of FIBA World Cup qualifying, Tab Baldwin loses a minimum of 3 days with a PBA player in the pool who's also playing an away game in the EASL


                                You're forgetting that these people running the PBA are idiots. I don't necessarily see the partnership with the EASL a good thing, just a chance to shit on them more if they screw up this opportunity of improving the PBA. In the first place, there's no incentive for the other PBA teams in this partnership. We're not sure they're sending PBA champions/runners-up, and even if they are... we all know it's either going to be one from SMC and one from Metro Pacific.
