19th Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou China

[gilasfan]

Chualay is more open to tap foreign players and he didnt attack those players and praise the PBA players who played for AG

Meanwhile vargas attacks foreign players..

you can tell who is toxic between the 2

Also Vargas brought up the player asking for the Moooon.

Chualay is just beside him if it was up to him i guess he won't mention that to not stir issues and drama.

PLDT board is full of dramas

[sroth3839]

Only saw the 4th Q,

how did Newsome defend RHJ so well?

[Silent Killer]

Boomers too on the recently concluded WC. I get that people don't want to play for free. But asking for the moon just leaves a bad taste especially if you don't have plans of playing in the first place. Could have just said no di ba?


On other hand not sure how I'd feel about them revealing this then not naming the person. What's the goal here? To stir up chismis ?

Insurance yes, but to get paid to play no. Remeber Lithuanian coach statement that players received zero euro to play in WC 2019.

so you're telling me that someone like luka doncic who has a USD200m++ contract played for peanuts? more importantly the dallas mavericks didn't ask for insurance? wow, that's patriotism right there.

[Money]

don't be naive, who among the gilas players have a history of asking for unreasonable pay? who between kai and jp erram will ask for the moon? who between mikey williams and chris banchero will ask for the moon? ahahahaha

TNT fan yan si Boy Positionless, so what do you expect?

[The_Big_Cat]

People are still believing Snow Badua in 2023? Anyway, I don't think it's Mikey Williams because Vargas manages the team he plays for. Also, Kai and the rest of the B. Leaguers as well as KBLers aren't available for the Asian Games, so I don't think it's him.

On the contrary, it’s much easier for Vargas to throw Mikey under the bus for many reasons. One is the holdout by Mikey to get his desired paycheck on his contract extension. And most recently when TNT suspended Mikey without pay last year for not showing up in some practices and games

Mikey has been a headache for TNT off the court.

I think the other guy in the blind item might be Maverick Ahanmisi as he has been adamant on getting a huge contract in the offseason.

[gilasfan]

The team has a genius tactician on the bench(tim cone) and a true leader who treats his players like his sons(al francis) - PBA Governor Bobby Rosales

I love LH Charley!

[Kaireem]

That’s impossible bro… no B league players played last Asiad… Kai might payed big time last WC but I don’t think he is the other one that PBA and SBP officials mentioned…

don't be naive, who among the gilas players have a history of asking for unreasonable pay? who between kai and jp erram will ask for the moon? who between mikey williams and chris banchero will ask for the moon? ahahahaha

the thing is who among former gilas players have the reputation to ask for "the moon"? if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, swims like a duck then it probably is the same duck who asked for the ... never mind

[Kaireem]

I know I haven't been high on Kai lately but that would really be disappointing especially after what happened pre WC and his WC performance. And he's been injured right? Unless they they really hid his injury so that they could negotiate for a better pay..

for all we know they talked to his camp before he left for japan

[Kaireem]

Some national teams in other countries only get per diem only. So it really is dependent on players and agents

so you're telling me that someone like luka doncic who has a USD200m++ contract played for peanuts? more importantly the dallas mavericks didn't ask for insurance? wow, that's patriotism right there.

[insulares]

So that was the takeaway from the presser? Mikey and possibly Kai wanting to play but wanted a sack of cash?

It's a blatant self-congratulatory, holier-than-thou display from the dirty old men's club of the PBA Board. I despise the hyprocrisy of accusers who relish their thirty pieces of silver.

It's a time to unite and celebrate, but these pseudo-saints are using the gold medal to spread divide-and-conquer remarks.

Of course, the more gullible ones are off to the races to solve their blind item riddle. It's funny how the gold has masked the PBA Board's warts. There seems to be no shortage of takers willing to swallow their presser agenda. Hook, line, and sinker.

Make no mistake. The Asian Games gold is the coaches' and players' achievement for the nation.

The PBA Board can take its 'woe-is-me' lamentations and shove it up its ponytail end.

[tootch]

Mikey Williams and Remy Martin or Barefield. One pba and not from asian club team daw. my other guess is Jordan Heading,.still no club team and rehabbing his injury.
