Orton's performance (6 pts, 3 rebs, 1/7 fg) during the loss versus KIA game was more offensive than his comments about Pac and the refs.

One factor that affects games is the crowd. It has always been said that the crowd is the 6th member of a team. A company promotes its team by getting players who can play and are popular. There will be times that they will get a player, even if he is not that popular, for his specific skills. There will be times that they will get a player, marginal in skills, for simply being popular. Pacquiao, though marginal in basketball skills, is undoubtedly popular. He would surely bring in fans who would root for his team. Though the idea may not be agreeable for most people, his being a player in the PBA is not a joke, it's a business and strategic decision.

Beg to differ bro. This might have happened in the PBA's very early years - but it hasn't happened since (the last questionable one was probably, Dudut Jaworski).

In fact, the past decade has been a virtual arms race where all the PBA teams harbor talent to serve their purpose - the SMCorp teams, MVP teams, RoS & ALASKA all demand talent in order to contend and win championships. The SMCorp farm teams also harbor talent, albeit to serve their SMCorp masters.

Winning brings in popularity ...... even now, RoS, a team of relatively unknowns, has become the PBA's 3rd most popular team - as confirmed by the league itself.

As for Pacquiao, he's not even a marginal talent - to be very blunt about it; "larong buko" si Pacquiao.

There was never a doubt from anyone, that this was 100% a business move ...... the anger & rants were pointed at KIA management for claiming that Pacquiao had coaching & player skills ...... the anger & rants were also pointed at Comm. Cheato Salud & company, for allowing this to happen - bypassing, hundreds or more deserving coaches & players.

growing up, it's always my dream to play in the PBA. i look up to the PBA players as the best of the best in terms of PH basketball. my tito played for crispa then mariwasa so I know that you need skills and talent. so for me, Pacquiao in the PBA as a player is a joke.

Tsk tsk tsk, hindi pa din nawala si Cheato Salud ...... in many ways, lalo pa pala siyang lumakas.

I was hoping that he goes away and somebody like JB Baylon take over as comm.

Ito 'yung sinabi ko dati last conference, na benta si AZ Reid noong Game 5 sa Chapionship Game sa Purefoods...

Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao on former import turned rival AZ Reid: ‘He was being disrespectful’
http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/rain-or-shine-coach-yeng-guiao-on-former-import-turned-rival-az-reid-he-was-being-disrespectful

“Historically yung situation namin nung kasama namin siya last conference, we felt na yung Game Five namin with Purefoods, he could have given something more in terms of effort,” the fiery Rain or Shine coach said.

“I think that was the main reason why we gave him up. So, naghalo-halo na yun.”

He believes that both sides harbor some negative feelings that just happened to boil over during the incident in Friday’s game.

“Para sa kanya nga kasi, hindi siya ibinalik at ni-release siya. Kami naman, bakit nasa Game Five ka, championship, konti na lang, hindi pa naibigay yung todo.”

“Yun yung background, hindi namin siya kinuha, kami naman may sama rin ng loob. Ganun siguro yun, hindi mo nakitaan na ipinaglaban ka, all the way sa championship. Nag-interplay yun sa drama kanina. Drama lang naman yun eh. Nagpapaganda lang ng laro. Sa susunod nga, papanoorin ng maraming tao kapag mayroong ganun.”

Alaska traded Espinas for Baclao. Swap din ng 2017 1st rd picks with Alaska getting the pick with the better draft position.

Sayang si Gabby. Yung toughness nya malaking bagay for Alaska. Tumatanda na nga and galing injury pero sipag nun eh. Baclao, though, is definitely an upgrade to Eman. Okay rin defensively pero walang offense unlike Gabby. Si Manuel at Thoss na lang post presence nila.

Good trade for both teams - GLOBALPORT needs more toughness & ALASKA needed more size and youth.

I wouldn't label Espinas as "masipag", he is actually slow of foot, moreso coming from an ankle injury ....... however, Espinas is indeed very tough & plays his heart out.

ALASKA needed to stock-up on post defense, with Fajardo dominating them last conference - Baclao is a decent one to have on the rotation. Plus, with the emergence of Vic Manuel, Espinas became expendable.

The cherry on top will be ALASKA getting the higher pick in 2017.
