China will definitely restrict our players from playing for Gilas, so I don't support Gilas eligibles to play there like Japeth, Terrence, Junmar, and CJ. Yung iba oks lang. -
If some of these players mentioned would play either in China or Korea, this would balance the competition in the PBA. Hence, teams like NLEX, Alaska, ROS, Northport, will have a better chance of winning championships in the PBA.Originally posted by mapuakid View Post
Imagine an SMB team without Junmar & CJ Perez. A Ginebra team without Japeth & stanley Pringle. A TNT team without Castro & Troy Rosario. And a Magnolia team w/o Paul Lee & Sangalang.
I see Leo Austria getting his butts kicked as SMB coach becoz without his marque players, he can't lead SMB to a decent finish. Austria looked good a coach becoz of the decisive edge in talent his SMB team have over the rest of the pack."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time.

I see it otherwise. I mean Junmar, Japeth, Romeo, Perez staying in the PBA, di rin naman sila ipapahiram ng SMC sa Gilas so I would rather see them play in China na lang.Originally posted by jasper222 View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

I agree. As if those guys would be willingly offered by SMC anyway. And I thought we're all in on the young guns now?Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

I just read a comment that the PBA is getting what it deserves for allowing farm teams. They're turning into a "farm league" now. Got a taste of their own medicine.
But to be honest, out of all the names. I don't see Junemar taking the offers. He already didn't take the CBA offer years ago when he was at his peak then obviously he won't now. Not with the ongoing pandemic.Comment

won't hurt to insert a Junemar as backup bigman, especially in the World Cup 2023 where you don't know which team you will meet in the QF(!) and instant offense/game changer is required.Originally posted by thatweirdguy View Post
Japeth will suck in a Tab system. Perez already sucks in a Tab system, my opinion based on Feb 2020 Fiba Asia ACQ, needs more time to understand the system. Romeo is already a team-chemistry wrecker as in Fiba Asia Cup 2017, but if there's some who can use Romeo best, it's Tab.Comment

All of a sudden, opportunities are opening for our players. I love this situation.
B.League
KBL
CBA
NBL
T1 League
Then there are leagues like ABL (hope it will reopen soon) and TBSL. I hope that NBL in New Zealand reopens there Oceania Player Quota and expand it to Asia.
Players can bounce around in these league. I hope that PBA will accepts the globalization of basketball this time and try to change their league for their own good.Comment

Maganda si Desiree Cheng. Unfortunately, I was not able to see her in person. Since I'm from Adamson, puro si Benting, Pineda, Villanueva and Galanza lang ang nakikita ko. Sad. HahaOriginally posted by greenarcher View PostAttack

Ha? From what I remember, CJ Perez didn't play badly with Gilas in the 1st window of the Asia Cup qualifiers February last year. The thing is, Perez was among the best performers (together with Bolick) in the Yeng Guiao-mentored PBA-select Gilas team in the 2019 FIBA World Cup.Originally posted by noyce View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

Yeah but he's clearly not 100%. And he was bad defensively before that injury. I shudder to think how bad he is now..Originally posted by noyce View Post
Do we need romeo now? Sure he's tons better than SJ and RJ but I rather audition others guards before him. And it's not like SMB is gonna release him with Perez/JF if everComment

What I see the PBA doing is strengthening a developmental academy in order to sell players abroad. It will be difficult to match the B. League and other leagues in terms of salary, so they might do what countries without a strong league system do: develop talent locally and sell them abroad for a higher price.
If Kiefer really proves to be an asset (which he will), Shiga will definitely buyout his contract in NLEX if possible.GILAS WISHLIST:

Would PBA be reduced to a mere "developmental" league? A developmental league for future B-league, KBL & CBA Pinoy players? This is going to hurt the egos of PBA people, to say the least.Originally posted by interxavierxxx View Post

Once the bag full of cash drops in on their doorstep, they'll shut the fuck up and just take it like they always do. When have they ever cared about running a good basketball league? That's right, never.
They did this to themselves.
Look at Serbia and Slovenia. Almost all of their best talent plays overseas and not in their local leagues.GILAS WISHLIST:
