    so when he faces another Jordan, he will get nerbiyos!
    He is a gifted athlete, we just need his height, to block shots and rebound. And i think if we are lokking for nba quality center , he is the perfetc fit, and he is just a journey man, not a franchise players, not a star or multi million contract player. We can get him, and it can also help his popularity and confidence to grow. I hope we consider him as a target

      Kwame Brown...hopefully they can get him!
      Kwame Brown if ladyluck agrees to be a naturalized candidate for the phils will be 30 yr old next year.

      Lets suggest age bracket of 23-27 for longer term

            Kwame Brown? He's valued around USD 4 million a year.
            That's the combined salary of the entire PBA players

              Please remember if we get a new naturalized player, we have to get rid of Marcus Douthit. We cannot maintain two naturalized players more so of a having another one who'll just be a back-up. Its just not practical especially that we are a country with limited financial resources.

              Even Lebanon could not have a back-up Naturalized Player when Vroman made himself not available.

              As long as a Naturalized Player cannot play in the PBA as a local and at the same time be paid at the level of imported players, we'll have a hard time getting another Naturalized Player. This is what Jackson Vroman was demanding from the Lebanese which they could not give. If he'll play in the FLB its as an import not a local. That however is what the Japanese granted to their Naturalized Players like JR Sakuragi who unfortunately refused to join National Team tryouts.

              Its not all about talent when you get a Naturalized Player .... a big part of it is attitude and maturity both as a player and as a person.

                  Thats right.

                  The process of finding a naturalized player is not on whether a player wants to represent the NT or be called a filipino. Its about the size of his pay check.

                  Is that what representing a country comes down to nowadays?

                    I think we should now look for a Marcus Douthit type of player but younger and a little more athletic, and we have many big guard prospects in the U.S. since THE MAN says:

                    WUHAN – Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas president Manny V. Pangilinan vowed that his dream of seeing the Philippine basketball team back playing with the world’s best in the Olympics will live on.

                    The business tycoon hinted he’ll be even more determined to pursue this aspiration with the progress and improvement shown by the national team in the just-concluded FIBA Asia Championship here.

                    “Whatever it takes. Whether it’s 2012, 2016, 2020 or pag patay na ako (even when I’m dead),” Pangilinan told the Filipino sportswriters at the close of the Wuhan competition last night.

                    Pangilinan said he promised the same to FIBA president Yvan Mainini and secretary general Patrick Bauhmann in a brief talk moments after Smart Gilas lost the battle for third place to South Korea.

                    “They were complimentary and encouraging. They told me we 'made some progress, big progress, just keep on doing what you’re doing.' I told them 'we will not lose our dream of one day entering the Olympics,'” said Pangilinan.

                    “No matter what the people expect, I’m determined to see our support of the program. I’m determined to see one day the Philippines entering the Olympics,” the very supportive Phl cage federation chief added.

                    He had mixed feelings on Smart Gilas’ fourth-place finish in the 16-nation meet that served as the regional eliminator for the 2012 London Olympics.

                    “On one hand, (I’m happy) we improved from our Tokushima (ninth) and Tianjin (eighth) showings. It’s a good sign that our program is working. On the other hand, it’s sad we lost our shot at the finals and we lost the fight for third,” he said.



                    Five minutes away from wrapping up the bronze medal, the Nationals reeled from Cho Sungmin’s endgame explosion and settled for fourth with a heartbreaking 68-70 loss to the Koreans.

                    Smart Gilas was relegated to the bronze-medal play after yielding to Jordan, 61-75, in the semifinals.

                    Host China itself found Jordan a tough nut to crack, digging deep to win the championship match, 70-69.

                    The Philippines finished with six wins against three losses from the eliminations, same with Jordan.

                    Except for Marcus Douthit and Chris Tiu, all other members of Smart Gilas will join their PBA teams upon their return to Manila.

                    Pangilinan, however, reiterated the Smart Gilas program will continue.

                    “We’ll re-organize the program and see whether we can qualify for the 2014 World Championship,” said Pangilinan.

                    Up in the air is who’ll run the program and who’ll be the players.

                    “We have to think about the core. I’m not a coach or a player, but I have insights now. We have certain weaknesses that I saw in this tournament that we have to focus on,” said Pangilinan.

                    He thought the national team would be better with tall guards.

                    “Our point guards are so small. I’m not saying that our point guards are not good; they’re very good especially Jimmy (Alapag). But I think we need bigger point guards for this team,” he said.

                    There’s no assurance as well to Rajko Toroman’s tenure as head coach.

                    “His (Toroman’s) plan is to go back to Serbia to rest and I said go ahead. We talk when you come back,” said Pangilinan.

                    “There’s no decision yet one way or the other. We have to look what’s good for the team in preparation for 2013,” Pangilinan added

                            Aside from a very high asking price most of those guys would take their chances in the D-League and wait for calls from NBA teams

                              Isn't it? I remember a certain country's frontline consisting of a naturalized Nigerian, a native-born Jamaican with dual citizenship, and a Virgin Islander (who was technically a citizen of said country by virtue of the Islands being a territory of that country-- but could've opted to play for his birth nation).

                              IIRC, the reason they were playing for that country was their lucrative professional basketball contracts.
