Havent really followed pba much but is mikey williams without a team right now? Wasnt it sga already tried to get his services last year back but was turned off by his unprofessionalism or am i remembering something else? Might be another Mikey but yeah they need another pg. Not sure if brickman can still play heavy minutes at his age now. -
Brickman can still be an effective contributor. He can steady the pace of the game. About 25 mins of playing time could be ideal. He’s younger than Newsome and can become a valuable piece for a title chasing team such as SGA. I fancy him joining SMBeer next year and doing pick and roll plays with Junemar.Originally posted by gospursgo View Post
As for Mikey, yes he could be a good addition in short gig for SGA but I doubt any PBA teams would gamble on him considering his unpleasant history with his previous PBA team…

TNT still has Mikey's rights but there have been contract disputes since April 2023. So Mikey doesnt have a team for almost 2 years now.Originally posted by gospursgo View Post
i think once signed this is a precursor of Mikey committing to the PBA again and maybe trade his rights to Converge.Comment

But as is with "rich dudes," you get to mingle with other rich dudes and build relationships and "cred." With this, you get to have a seat at the table with world level rich dudes. Unquantifiable but priceless if done right.
And it also builds your brand in basketball crazy Philippines. Not to mention, these particular owners are passionate about basketball themselves.Comment

The SGA team looks too top heavy for me. They have 4 centers. Not stretch mobile centers mind you but old school slow ones. They dont have an SF the level of Roberson who can play PF as well. Of the 4 it is only Kouame who I can imagine running to the perimeter on defense but he is not even as speedy as he was in his prime. Richardson looks 6'4 or 6'5 without shoes but has a 7 ft wingspan. Larrier is taller but is a bean pole.Originally posted by FilWelsh View PostComment

SGA should have gotten QMB.Comment

maybe they'll give the winner some change (in relation to their actual money) but highly doubt they'll give them significantly big cash. this tournament has been on going for years and seeing who participate, its doesnt look like its a break the bank to get players to win tournament. except for SGA.i mean, Mighty use to send a team here before and even if they did have imports, it wasnt like this.Originally posted by lem0nadi View PostWE DON'T COUNT YEARS, WE COUNT CENTURIES

in essence, basketball cred for the owners (Lao). i wish them luck on the court and with the other rich people they will be rubbing elbows with maybe they'll be allowed to open a Gloria Maris in Dubai or something.Originally posted by Metta View Post
for the building brand in the Philippines, im 50/50 on that. Mighty sports was the company who use to send a team here before. im not really sure if fans was wanting them to join the PBA or whatever. SGA came in and pushed them out and now we dont hear of mighty sports anymore. whats to say that might or can happen to SGA? SGA already has local teams and supporting certain schools. their brand is far better rooted in the Philippines already.
all in all, if this is how they wanna roll, go for it. and like i said, i wish them luck. its additional games we fans get to watch.WE DON'T COUNT YEARS, WE COUNT CENTURIES

HE'S BAAAACK!
After some 622 days away from the Philippines, superstar Mikey Williams arrived in Manila today and will play for Strong Group Athletics (SGA) in the upcoming Dubai International Basketball Championships.
"Mikey will help us tremendously in our campaign," SGA head coach Charles Tiu told me.

cc: Sir Filwelsh,
who knows maybe if they could establish that solid connection and rapport to those filthy richie rich they could convince them to invest in Philippine basketball moving forward.
considering they've already witnessed how passionate those OFW with game
as you said "Unquantifiable but priceless if done right".
I think this is also one of the main reason and agenda of the Zambo Valientes despite their intention for this edition was only "for the sake of participating".
just like the intention of SMB @ the EASL.... ooops!! I'm biting my tongue it should be posted on the other thread pala.Comment

To be honest, PBA teams look at other leagues as below them that is why they don't give much effort in EASL. Their parochial thinking makes them treat a PBA championship as a better goal. Big fish in a small pond mentality.sigpicComment
