Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

[coach cj]

I actually disagree, the NBA seems to be trending towards small ball but less on height and more on skills and feel for the game, wings are the big commodity right now with teams looking for guys in the 6’7-6’9 range who can do it all. It’s all about pace and space now.

Guys I have mentioned that are twin towers are not wing players haha.

Also they are near 7 footers at the very list, near or above it. And they move like PF and Center than an SF like Durant.

What you call forwards or wings space and pace is what the Celtics is doing full of wing players.

While thunders is in between that description of wing players versus tall line up because you have chet and poku in there who are 7 footers.

Regardless, the twin towers I have mentioned for me are the future of NBA basketball. I hope Timberwolves, Jazz and Cavs will go deep into the play offs and shock the world haha

I am not comparing Kai to any one of these twin towers I have mentioned haha.

I am just happy seeing that more and more NBA teams put up twin towers of 7 footers or near 7 footers.

It is good for bigs like Kai. It will have an impact all over the world also. I guess Wemby's effect is really being felt very early haha.

Now, I guess that small ball craze is slowly starting to decrease in the NBA especially that GSW I think have already reached their peak last season.

Their 3 main starters are in their late playing careers already especially curry at 34.

Again I am just happy. I have not compared any of those guys I've mentioned to Kai's game.

If that?s your case, you should have posted Markannen and Olynyk?s names on the NBA thread. So we could dissect and discuss their games and their teams? chances for the playoffs

Navarro signed a two-conference contract with NorthPort: https://tbti.me/s22hl4

Hopefully, Pido uses him as more of a wing, and maybe has him practice his 3-point shot.

After Navarro's contract with NorthPort ends this May, hopefully he can get a FIBA clearance to move to SoKor or even Japan. Development or NT availability.

By two conferences, does it mean it includes this current conference?

Yeah. He makes his debut on Wednesday.

[ja.he]

Yeah. He makes his debut on Wednesday.

He can still make it in Taiwan.

[hmbopbaduwap]

He can still make it in Taiwan.

not if Northport decides to trade him to SMC teams Lol

[thatweirdguy]

Less Tax (37 or 40%) and superannuation (10.5%*)
And cut from his EWP handlers and agent.

Kai would probably getting small amount of paycheck.

Is the team also paying for his accommodation and transport? I assume rent and gas prices are also expensive in SA

Thirdy with 13 pts and another win, over Ira Brown's Osaka team. San-en are now #1 in their district, and Thirdy is Top 10 in the B-League for assists.

I think the signing of Kanamaru has opened up Thirdy's game. Is that guy part of the Akatsuki 5, because his wrong-footed 3s are so interesting to watch. Unlike players like Ray Allen, Kanamaru doesn't need his feet set to get his shot off, like that G-League guy the Lakers signed for a few games (forgot his name). It's like his feet only take care of the force, his upper body rotates by itself to create positioning to compensate as he shoots, so in-game he almost always shoots in a weird pose if his guard tightly sheds the screen.

Meanwhile Kobe Paras is having his 2nd decent game with 13 pts 2 reb 2 ast 5 blk for the Altiri Chiba. Roosevelt Adams isn't doing so well now.

Bleague mvp si kanamru and the top gun for japan back in 2013,( yes that was long ago) but still kanamaru is genuine bleague's elite

[JAMSKIE]

Kobe looks thin now, hopefully he could regain all his hops but I'm not sure if playing in a lower division will be good for his development.

Yeah. I think this is Kobe's ideal weight. Hope h maintains it.

More on ball plays for Thirdy, looks like the coach has finally unlocked Thirdy...

[Sikatrix]

He can still make it in Taiwan.

Hell have to skip a chance at Gilas if he does that. Basically straight to SEA games prep after Govs Cup.

hahaha Okay admin I will not post again my thoughts about twin towers and bigs in the NBA if it is not allowed by you.

Thank you for reminding me po.

I hope he has a ton of endorsement in the Philippines because 50k AUD take home is a meagre amount to support his family.

If Adelaide doesn't pick up the team option and he goes to the Gleague next season that is even worse money (35k USD).

and that 35k is still subject to taxes plus the cut/share of the agent and ewp

[CoJ]

this makes me wonder how much money has ewp spent on the sotto family since the US and TSF days. Kid is probably tied to ewp for life like how aau coaches leach on the nba players they developed
