BLACKWATER's failed negotiations with dispersal top-pick Ildefonso, was probably the reason why they did this deal to get Rodriguez ....... Ildefonso wants max money despite being on his last legs as a player.
I myself have very serious doubts about Sy's financial capabilities to run a PBA team for the long haul - but its still way too early to tag this team a farm team for either MVP or SMCorp.
Iba din talaga ang media natin, sa sobrang daming grossly lopsided deals na ginawa at ginagawa nang SMCorp with AIR21 & BARAKO, not once akong nakabasa nang formal article claiming these teams to be SMCorp farm teams ....... pero, isang suspicious deal lang between MVP & a new team - farm team agad ang headline nang article.
