I heard Rashad Mcants will play for Powerade.. He's still young, I remember their championship run in NCAA..

Uy magaling yan! I think 14th overall pick ng T-Wolves. Naging starter yan alongside Kevin Garnett. Legit NBA talent. Injury prone lang kaya di nagtagal sa NBA.

Yup, McCants was a serious NBA prospect years back ...... unfortunate that his career didn't take off for various reasons.

As for PBA teams having ex-NBA players (specifically those with "long" contracts) as imports - it usually doesnt end up well.

Most of these ex-NBA players play passively ..... probably passing time until the next callback from the NBA or D-League ..... or worse, some play with a superiority-complex.

Some of the recent ex-NBA imports who've played passively e.g. Dermarr Johnson, Rodney White, etc ...... and the few worst, who played with a god-like complex e.g. Hassan Adams, Art Long, etc.

There has been exceptions, like Tony Lang, Lamont Strothers, Richie Frahm, etc ..... played as if they were on their last contract.

Some of the best imports from the past few years were unknown, non-NBA lottery players e.g. Gabe Freeman, Diamon Simpson, Denzel Bowles, Anthony Grundy, etc.

just read in interaktv that Arboleda who was released by Barako was taken up by Petron. Petron then traded him for Duncil from Air 21. But Barako and Air 21 are both owned by Lina. Lina should have traded Arboleda to Petron instead of just releasing him allowing Petron to pick him up. Lina could then trade Duncil for Arboleda. Lumalabas tuloy na nakuha ng Petron ng walang kapalit si Duncil.

kaya pala... i remember readin somewhere that arboleda was relegated to the unrestricted free agent list. nagawan pala ng paraan ng petron na walang impact sa lineup nila...

now that the NBA is over, siguro naman, mapapansin na ulit itong thread na ito.

Retirement ceremony of The Living Legend is on July 8. this shows how the PBA regards jawo. he has practically retired in 1998(?)...yet the organization is giving him a ceremony where his jersey will be retired. AFAIK, he is the only player to be given such an honor.

The Big J certainly deserves any sports-related recognition he gets, late or otherwise ..... he was a driving force during the golden years of the PBA after all.

However, I seriously doubt that the retirement ceremony was initiated by the PBA Board ...... this ceremony is clearly a brainchild of the SMC bloc, specifically by Noli "Loverboy" Eala.

The ceremony brings some more boost to the SMC brand, aside from formally retiring Jaworski of course.

====================================================================================

Keep reading news that HARBOUR CENTER's Mikee Romero is pushing hard to have a PBA franchise by next season.

This should be good news for the PBA, as Mikee Romero seems a bit like ABI's Bong Tan from years ago ..... wealthy, young and driven to succeed at the pro ranks.

However, there's some negatives about this also ...... Romero has very close ties with the cheater owners of the PBA e.g. Lina, Pangilinan & Ang.

In fact, Romero already had majority control of a PBA franchise some years ago (BURGER KING) ..... a falling-out with MVP & Lina led to Romero relinquishing control and he has been scratching at the PBA's door ever since.

If HARBOUR CENTER is accepted as a new PBA franchise, it would be literally odd, since the PBA team count will be odd-numbered at 11.

I have a feeling that a current PBA franchise (POWERADE or ALASKA) will soon fold and Romero will just buy that franchise ..... which should be what Comm. Cheato Salud & the SMC bloc would want as an 11th team (new franchise) will be granted concessions to directly hire/elevate blue-chip rookies.

Note that SMC will have many high picks for the next few rookie drafts (courtesy of Bert "Pimp Daddy" Lina of course) ...... and the rookie cast is exceptional with top locals (Fajardo, Slaughter, Abueva, etc), GILAS 2.0 & D-League Filams ....... SMC will always get the top players by hook or by crook.

been picking up that harbour center news too. IIRC, this is not mikee romero's first time to knock on the PBA doors. the PBA board reportedly welcomes the entry of HP and, basing from what i read, it would appear that HP will be the 11th team. however, it is still too early to tell and the possibility of HP being made to acquire the franchise of a folding team still looms. i agree with you that SMC teams have top picks in the coming draft. di papayag si lover boy nyan, for sure.

edit:

mikee romero will be filing his application to join the league as an expansion team today. wait and see na lang tayo sa action ng PBA board...

newwaveboy · « **Reply #909 on:** Jun 27, 2012 at 02:58 PM »

^ Like I said, being an expansion team (or a new franchise) would be advantageous to Mikee Romero since he can demand concessions to directly hire/elevate top rookies instead of going through the draft.

If this happens, it's bad news for the SMC bloc (and Cheato Salud) since they'll likely lose some collegiate & Filam prospects whom they've already set-up to be their future players ...... among them is highly-touted center Junmar Fajardo.

Junmar Fajardo did not join the last PBA rookie draft & instead signed-up for SMC's ABL squad ..... this clearly showed that Loverboy Eala was doing some big "setup" to ensure that Fajardo will remain with SMC even when he enters the PBA (since they have most of the top picks in the next few drafts).

Heck ....... even Fajardo's college coach, ex-pro Roel Gomez has been quoted that Fajardo will only enter the PBA draft if it's guaranteed that SMC will get him!

Walanghiya talaga ano ...... kahit wala pa sa PBA, tuloy lang ang pandaraya ni Noli Eala.

BARAKO BULL recently lost it's knockout game to POWERADE ..... apparently, BARAKO BULL forward Don Allado doesn't think it's all good.

Don Allado@alotofDON

I'm the guy that says what others can't. #PBA games are fixed. They control who is in & who is out. It's a disgrace to be in this league. I am bitter about losing. Not to Powerade, but to #PBA . In my opinion, this league has little credibility left. I feel for #BarakoRepubliq management. They put in time, effort & resources to form a competitive team like this only to be wasted by #PBA.

-sniper- · « **Reply #914 on:** Jul 04, 2012 at 12:15 PM »

at least he's bold enough to say it...

newwaveboy · « **Reply #915 on:** Jul 04, 2012 at 12:29 PM »

^ Yup, Don Allado has always been one to speak his mind.

One thing I find funny though - Don Allado is ranting about a supposed fixed game ..... yet has never even ranted about the countless gross & blatant player selling to SMC/MVP, that his very team has done through the years.

Don Allado will surely get suspended a long time for this ..... PETRON Director este PBA Comm. Cheato Salud doesn't want anyone destroying the good name of the league.

last night's game was really a badly officiated game and the referees were favoring Powerade.. the PBA has even suspended one of the referees in that game for the rest of the season.. they called hand check fouls against Barako but they let go pushes and shoves from Powerade.. they called offensive fouls on Danny Seigle when he's trying to get position in the post but when Anthony holds on and arm locks Seigle to prevent him from getting position, they let it go..

sure, Barako could have just played above that being a veteran team but when the referees are the ones that's preventing you from making a comeback, there really is nothing you can do.. that play where Sneed fell down in the paint and Allado stood over him so he can't get up, the referees should have made a call.. it was either a 3sec violation or a foul.. it should never have been a non-call.. it was a crucial non-call that ultimately decided the game..

and as for Allado, he should aim his tirades at some of his star teammates.. only him, Danny Seigle and Doug Kramer came out to play last night.. Willie Miller was pa-cute lang and Tubid focused more on flopping than actually playing defense..

newwaveboy · « **Reply #919 on:** Jul 04, 2012 at 01:25 PM »

^ One can really see the exasperation & frustrated look on Danny Seigle's face whenever he goes on the court .... ever since he was "traded" by SMB to BARAKO BULL.

The fouls that used to be called on guys defending him, isn't there anymore ..... while, he and his team is usually at the wrong end of the calls during crucial matches.

Pity that Allado will be suspended for stating something very obvious ..... anyways, Allado might have already been contemplating retirement prior to his rants.

Note: Just a few days prior the the knockout game, PBA Comm. Cheato Salud had even proudly claimed that POWERADE is now the 4th most popular team in the league ...... convenient coincidence that POWERADE gets the calls during the match with BARAKO BULL.

Comm. Chito Salud is really pissed off to the tweets of Don Allado as per his interview by Quinito Henson last night. Paano pa kaya pag nabasa nya pa sa tabloid un headline na "PBA GAMES IS FIXED" i saw this one when im going to work kanina.

sa pagtagal eh papasok nanaman ang "senate inquiry" which will make things worse for the pba. mag drop nanaman ang patronage sa kanila just like what happened when the issue of the Fil-Shams went to the senate level.

with the case of arboleda, medyo mas light pa yun. ito kasing kay allado, integrity of the league ang na question. and may na suspend na referee na as initial action by the pba.

so a P500,000 fine (P300K goes to Players' Educational Trust Fund and P200K to a charitable foundation of his choice) and 1 conference ban for Allado.. final and unappealable.. he should have just retired.. I just hope the officiating improves significantly after this..

and i guess he will announce his retirement soon...
