Navarro doesn't have a PBA contract yet, right? So technically, he's free. And it's not like the PBA will feel his loss, since he hasn't become a star up to this point. -
Clearly one can see the special draft purpose is to reserve a player's right for Gilas representation.
if this is the purpose which it is, then one can really see that by allowing a player to play overseas in a friendly FIBA league ( with condition to be made available ) trully makes sense. It's smart finance management by SBP and MVP as they do not have to fund these players salaries while they are reserved for the national team, which was one of the weaknesses of the Gilas 1 model, MVP was funding 12 players full time salaries for like 3 years.
So here is the model for those who leave Philippine college , and are highly sought . 1st priority is place them in an overseas league
Thirdy and 1GDL - B league
Tuffin- NZNBL
Kai- ANBL
now if no foreign league picks them up , then enter the PBA special draft and 2nd option
1. Matt Nieto , Go , Heading, Navarro
As you can see if you can move a PBA player to an overseas league like Thirdy to B- league, that's better.
So there is the model. and yes it can be sustainable , contrary to what Yeng and others think, they simply did not consider you can actually play in an overseas league and not the PBA. big big mistake.. ( line from Pretty Woman .. LOL)Comment

Well, that wasn't an option before. As someone mentioned elsewhere, demand for Filipino basketball talent wasn't really there prior to Thirdy landing in Japan, then it exploded once Thirdy showed he could ball over there. As our individual players get better and better, hopefully there will be more than enough talent.Originally posted by DAdmiral View Post
While Gilas 1's weakness was that MVP paid 12 players full time for like 3 years, the weakness of this model is that all these overseas leagues might clash with the FIBA schedule and that actually happened in the 2019 WC qualifiers. There was much criticism when Slovenia failed to qualify for the 2019 WC despite being the European champions just because their best players like Luka Doncic could not play in the qualifiers because it clashes with the NBA schedule.
FIBA has already been trying to emulate FIFA for a while now, but while FIFA can get every single football league in the world to fall in line with their schedule, FIBA could not even impose their will on the Euroleague, much less the NBA.Originally posted by gideonComment

I do hope he goes international as well after he's done with La Salle. Hopefully Delta will agree to Baltazar going abroad. It will provide a better experience for him, as he may be tasked to guard the perimeter more often as a 4.Comment

How the hell did the SBP become subservient to the different basketball interests in the first place?Originally posted by Labradoodle View Post
That aside, this will be a problem, as a lot of the players in this pool will inevitably join the PBA, putting their availability into question.Comment

I think Navarro should enter into a one-year contract with NorthPort. After that one-year contract, he's free to go if he gets an overseas offer. Like I said, I don't think the PBA would mind if he leaves, unless he becomes a star for NorthPort.Originally posted by robert0326Comment

I think pba will mind. Because if they allowed navarro, parang pinayagan na rin nila the other prospects to go the same navarro route.Originally posted by IPC View Post
If Pba allows Navarro to do that (sign 1 year and leave overseas), and doesn't allow Baltazar(let's say for example) to do the same because
balti is a star for his pba team. Is that allowed?
Well it is pba anyway, they will make it allowd.lol. They will be criticized heavily though.Comment

He'll get the Parks treatment..Originally posted by robert0326Comment

Yeah, it's a precedent, but only a bitOriginally posted by mathematicianrcg View Post
As for your scenario about Baltazar, that really shouldn't be allowed. The PBA board shouldn't really have a say in player-team relations except for discipline (fines, suspensions, bans) and enforcing EXISTING contracts.Comment

But that would cause friction between GILAS and the PBA which we do not want. Heck it might lead to a suspension from FIBA. But if he really wants to then he has to do it differently from what Parks did and through good communication qnd diplomacyOriginally posted by robert0326Comment

I hope this team stays together, acquires more talents, or maybe even both.Comment

I hope our best prospects play in the PBA only after they hit a certain age, say 32-35. Basically when they pass their prime. They'd pass down invaluable knowledge from what they'd learned from overseas leagues. That may improve the quality of play, and also the tactics and player development, both of which frankly could use improvement. Plus, if they can still carry over an improved level of play, wow. That may improve the quality here.Originally posted by sroth3839 View Post
Plus, no need to concern ourselves about their availability for Gilas. Past their prime na nga, e.Comment

Exactly, the stakeholders aren't the most cooperative in the development of Philippine basketball. Especially after Tab's 'tactically immature' comment. Pero even before, they'd been looking after their own self-interest, e. Even MVP, to an extent. Problem is, 'yun na nga, with a few exceptions, they cannot or worse refuse to make the necessary adjustments, even as the world of basketball is changing. Winning ang goal, hindi development.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
Plus, as for the schools, they have nothing to fear from Tab. Tab has all the talent he needs in Ateneo (Ramos brothers, Ong, Ildefonso, Belangel, Padrigao, Lazaro), so piracy should not be an issue. In fact, I'd be more worried about pirating by UP and La Salle.
As for UP, well, maganda ang size, and it somewhat helps that Perasol uses a 4-out system, so his 4s need to be able to play the perimeter, no matter what size. That kind of environment will help in producing taller forwards (if the UP development team, if there is one at all, focuses on that). I hope Lina and Miguel Tan will benefit from playing the 4 in UP's 4-out system. And at least they're willing to release their players during the UAAP offseason.
Personally, I'd also think Beda are cooperative. At least Gilas got Oftana and Cariño to join.
Hopefully other schools (and PBA teams) can see what Tab is building and can more readily lend their players. It will help greatly in their players' development, and it would do the school and team proud to see themselves represented in Gilas. For example, UP's taking pride in being represented through Javi, Tungcab, and Tamayo. Sana makita nila ang value doon.Comment

I think the PBA and UAAP/NCAA should be generous to the national team. Why? If the NT team becomes very successful in the world stage, they will bring those experiences back to their teams; hence improving the quality of not only their teams but PH basketball in the long runComment
