  • When I say that Gov Delta is too controlling, I mean things like this.

    Justine Baltazar doesn’t know yet whether or not he will be immediately joining whichever team picks him in the upcoming PBA Season 49 Rookie Draft. The presumptive No. 1 pick is still awaiting the decision of Pampanga Gov. Dennis ‘Delta’ Pineda as he remains under contract with the Giant Lanterns in the ongoing 2024 MPBL […]

      highly unlikely Pineda will be appointed as SBP Pres. He is reaching too far. I hope he sticks with MPBL and developing the youth in Pampanga. If he can produce taller and better Baltis and Serranos for Gilas then thats enough. Converge hasn't even won anything yet in the PBA. He needs to prove himself first and build good relationship with present stakeholders.
      He wont get appointed but he can use all his resources and clout to take over SBP

      • Target for Exemptions should include
        - Kouame
        - M. Philipps
        - QMB
        - Barefield
        - Koon (I dont think there's an immediate need for a player like Kai Ballungay, but Koon who at 6'5 can play the point seems more logical)

        Expedite Development for the following
        - Lopez
        - Konov
        - Harris

        If all of these materialized we're looking at a pool for the next 10-12 years

        Kai 7'2
        Kouame 6'11
        QMB 6'10 (looked 6'9 beside Sean Alter of UP)
        A. Edu 6'9
        Philipps 6'8
        Boatwright 6'9

        Konov 6'7
        Tamayo 6'7
        KQ 6'5
        Harris 6'5
        Lopez 6'5
        F. Edu 6'4

        Ramos 6'4
        Koon 6'5
        Barefield 6'2
        Winston 6'1

        • The good thing about Delta Pineda is he spares no expense in building up his teams, we can see from his track record that he has built and funded multiple champion teams in the PSL, MPBL and other minor leagues. From what I can gather I think we cant question his passion for basketball and being a person of power and authority he doesnt want to lose.

          But I do agree he is too polarizing of a figure to be the head of the SBP, as early as now we know that the SMC and MVP old farts are intimidated by him so getting cooperation from all basketball stakeholders with him as SBP president is impossible. But letting Choke Reyes worm his way into that position is another disaster that should be avoided.

            since Delta Pineda and Lao Family has a tie-up with Converge maybe they can just focus on minor and pocket tournaments such as Jones Cup and Dubai Basketball Championship. It's still PH representation anyway. He can field MPBL and amateur players there.

            Leave IOC and FIBA sanctioned tournaments to SBP.

              If he ends up like another Jason Ballesteros we can blame Gov Delta. He does not care abt the best welfare of Balti. He let the kid rot in the MPBL

                  AFAIK, J-Ball was a vital core in Toroman's Gilas 1, outplaying Al-Hussaini, Aldretch Ramos, and Maierhoffer to become a regular. He, together with Mac Baracael, didnt have a remarkable pro career unlike contemporaries JV Casio, Lassiter, Barocca and Japeth of course. But maybe they achieved more than Chris Tiu, basketball wise.

                    I remember he sustained a left knee injury coming out of college that he never fully recovered from. Even during his stints with Gilas 1 left knee issues hampered his play but he was still servicable enough to be the back up center when Douthit rests on the bench. He even mulled retirement in 2013 just two years afrer getting drafted, and admitted that he cant move the way like he used to during his college days. But being 6'7" he still got signed by a D league team and eventually found himself back into the PBA for a few years before bouncing around minor leagues and settling down in the MPBL. He was another case like Rey Guevarra who got injured on the tail end of his college career and never got back close to the same player that he was once before.

                      • Appointing Pineda is like appointing Pablo Escobar.

                          Escobar actually had a successful football club in Medellin, Atletico Nacional. The Cali Cartel also had a pretty successful football club, America de Cali.

                          Shame how the 1994 FIFA WC turned out for Colombia, though.

                            • Here's my take on who should be considered first per position:

                              Guards: Bolick, Heading
                              Wings: Navarro, Lopez, Bayla, Harris
                              Big: Carino

                              Bolick and Heading are the best options at guard, and Heading's no slouch on defense.

                              As for the wings, defense should be the priority, so it's Navarro, Lopez, Bayla, and Harris. Same rationale for bigs, that's why Carino should come first in my opinion.​
