PBA 49th Season

[zairex]

I said Free ads, they still benefiting free advertisment rather than paying celebrities million pesos in just 1 minute of airing..

Thats true. But like Alaska, it makes more sense to use the money to advertise to TV network and get more engagement from social media than in PBA.

Which one are you citing. PBA is not getting any ad revenue from broadcasting PBA

Question is Dave asking for rookie Max contract or he want similar to KBL salary

I think similar on what his batch mates receives... Rumors that Northport will only give 150-200k per month while lower than him in draft order such as Tiongson and Policarpio receiving higher than 200k.. that's why Dave's camp not happy Northport treating with Dave...

In terms of attendance yes, but they still benefit thru advertising, free ads...

[Giannis34GOD]

Well most of the NBA teams are still net profit, in PBA no one is turning profit at all

Yes, ROS has and still have limited budget, but I think they can give rookie max contract to Dave (they give it already to Tiongson).. they can just be creative on how to maximize what they have.. maybe just ask Norwood to retire, they have Tiongson, Clarito and Santillan as wings.. Norwood still receiving max contract.. I don't think it's still worth it to give him that contract... They can't get quality players if Norwood still in the line up.. he's done already, better put Norwood in their coaching staff..

ROS has a limited budget. It develops players and keeps them while they are within their budget. That is also the reason they use a lot of players. So they are not dependent on one superstar. When SMC or MVP gives a better offer they usually give in. I think they have less deeper pockets than Converge. Who were able to pry Heading's rights from NP, most probably not at a cheap price.

They got a bit lucky in their last championship, with Pierre Niles. The guy was unathletic and not very skilled. But he had the bulk to negate prime Fajardo. So they won a championship. The primary reason they are actually competitive now is that they have one of the bigger imports. GSM and TNT have smaller imports. A skilled bigger import opens up their locals in the perimeter and covers up for their lack of rim protection.

Dave's playstyle suits Converge more than ROS, though.

But Northport doesn't want to trade him to Converge because both have ugly relationship between both after Danny I comments against them.. Maybe ROS can pull it through since ROS have no ugly relationships with all of PBA teams (although they don't trade often with SMC teams) and they have better assets to put Northport to agree the possible trade with them.. with most of local talents going overseas, keeping picks is not ideal.. unless the draft class is stack, I think the rookie class next season will not be loaded as previous seasons.. ROS have two picks next draft, although will be bottom since ROS have good season so far, I will trade 2 first round picks plus maybe Lemetti for Dave plus another useful player or maybe Dave alone.. It's obvious that Nocum can't handle scoring alone, if he's off night then it's over for ROS.. Dave is an ideal option for them since ROS badly needed another scoring guard outside Nocum...

Taha had his best game in a very very long while, prior to this he looks bad whenever he has the ball.

[zairex]

Just watched the last minutes but still wondering why it took 4 games for NP to bench their PGs. Nelle and and the other PG are simply a notch below their starting 5. Apparently they had Taha to matchup against Scottie. Why play him only now?

They were winning without Taha. As they say , why fix that isn't broken. Until it is broken

Will Navarro is making a big impact on both ends so far.

that's a smart way of remaining competitive despite lacking the budget, similar to how small market nba teams operate

Well most of the NBA teams are still net profit, in PBA no one is turning profit at all

[CoJ]

ROS is a rookie contract ladedn team they collect and select starts and trade away others for frp's and cycle goes on... They might just go early with lemetti though..
