PBA 49th Season

[Rds]

I know it's intended as a joke but what's the possibility of him being a trojan horse?

This has happened before. SMB alumnis having errors in crucial parts of the game. Heruela and even Hontiveros I think comes to mind.

One import with unlimited height for the Commissioner's Cup.

Junmar deserve 3-5 million pesos per month salary after this game..

Nothing to be ashamed for Converge, they do all they can to beat SMB.. but on the brighter side.. their future is brighter... They doing this w/o their top pick.. Baltazar would be a game changer for this series if he's available... Arana if he has decent mid range shooting, he will give Junmar something to respect to defend him....

[Joe Yabuki]

Converge wouldve won if they had their top draft pick, either way this exposed Converge's thin roster - stockton, schonny, arana, cabagnot, Jones (import) and Bryan Santos (which isnt that very effective is hes not shooting from the corner), even trying to trade for someone like Onwubere would improve their lineup

Is that in the news, right? What's your problem?

Do you have any link to prove?

they have been throwing shades at each other. But i cant see any article stating they are not really in good terms. Its BUSINESS. C - Stan better deal with it.

Core 4 of Stockton Arana Santos and Winston plus Balti.

Better shore up their bench and not draft Jacob Lao's drinking buddies. Lol.

They better find a way to get Encho from Phoenix. Phoenix guard rotation is also deep. Trade one or two of the bigs from their last draft probably for Encho.

After going that far last night I think Converge are dropping their plans to tank again this season. And Im expecting them to get the most capable import/big available for the commissioner's cup which starts on November 27 I think. And yes they do need to address their shallow roster because outside of Arana, Stockton and Arana the only decent players they have are Bryan Santos, King Calaripio and a 41 year old Alex Cabagnot. Jacob Lao's drinking buddies (Fornillos, Andrade, Maagdenberg, Nieto, Credo and Flores) are MPBL level players and keeping them around is not gonna help them at all. And if anything wasting a first round pick in taking Andrade is a major bone head move.

But if somehow they win the Troy Rosario bidding wars that would immediately improve their depth, Imagine a front court rotation of Arana, Baltazar and Rosario.

Yes they better stop drafting Lao’s buddies, they could just draft them on later rds anyway

They don't need to tank now, their roster is very young.. they have their core with Arana, Stockton, Balti and Winston.. Add players that can do their role to support the core and that's fine already...

[Joe Yabuki]

I get that its probably a budget issue but perhaps can they just replace the second import with FSAs surely FSAs cant be that expensive.

The youngest player in that core is 25yo Justin Arana. That's young, but not very young.
