His numbers were decent in B2, though.

Having a reduced spending capability is one of the consequences of being relegated in the division 3.

Maybe, they can no longer afford the salary of Roosevelt Adams.

So is he going back to the PBA or would other B League teams want to take a chance with him.

Yudai Baba still knocking. Nearly made with Mavs’ regular season’s roster but eventually waived… same with Brandon Fields with Texas Legends.

Has nobody commented on how ridiculous and hideous looking those referee facemasks are? LOL

They look like plague doctor beaks.Paul_F

I don't think so. There is no salary cap in B.League

Advice to those current PBA players who wish to spread their wings in Japan, please don’t burned your bridges because you never know you’ll be knocking their doors in a short span of time… Adams was cut recently and I won’t be surprise if he hear Slaughter would be waived. And chances are they will have difficulty of finding a willing team to sign them.

Carl Tamayo scored 11 points on 4-12 shooting (2-4 from 3), and got 3 rebounds (1 offensive) yesterday.

Not exactly a dream regular season for him, averaging only 2.7 points on 25.9% shooting (25.9% from 3), 1.3 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.1 blocks, and 0.3 steals in 15 games (4 starts). Still, I'd cut him some slack, as he joined midseason, and he's on the first year of a 3-year contract. Plus, at least he plays. Hope he improves in the playoffs or the next season, and hope he's in consideration for the WC.

Here's his stat profile:

Honestly, for our best players, they should consider playing abroad first, then go back to the PBA as the retirement league. No connections yet.

Once you're in the PBA, it's not that easy to go abroad, especially with the big teams that offer good pay and good treatment.

he just left collegiate ball to play in pro league in a different country. why would there be any expectation that he would be a core member of the team at the least? im happy he has playing time.

minsan tlaga, expectation is not real. i understand we want our countrymen to do good, but lets face it. they need to adjust to another team system, how another league is ran, how referees of those leagues blow their whistle. that is not uncommon. i get that we criticize to help see where improvements can be made. but sometimes, we forget that players are humans and they need time to adjust. time to think how they should do things, and think what their role is.

Yeah, that's why I'm not that worried about him despite the poor numbers, and happy that he gets the reps, and that he has a 3-year contract. He has a lot of leeway to make mistakes in non-bearing games. That's one way he can learn and better adjust to his role. I'm just hoping he has a long overseas career, and goes back only when he's past it. Maybe when he's around 32-34?

as long as he doesnt get any major injury. his foot has been injured a few times already and that was since he was in Adamson HS.

Hope the doctors there can manage his health well, then. I remember he got injured thrice over the past 2 years. And that was on the foot.
