Imagine if Terrence and Pringle played alongside with C.Stand how far this team will go and how many season would be in their belt right now?

No one knows, maybe they will become the new super team of the league or maybe still the team that gets choke in the playoffs . In my opinion, success is not guaranteed even North Port got Terence and Pringle along with Stand. I can't explain why either, I just feel the imbalance lol. Bollick is enough, they can already form a dynamic duo with him . But if North Port is really pushing for a trade, I think much better if they will find a man who can assist to Stand. A slightly tall man which can do the defense and got a accurate perimeter shooting — a good Shooting Guard.

People would think it's gonna be a big 3 and will make the NP a better team, however, we need to understand that it's a team effort, and that's the reason why teams like SMB and Ginebra are successful, they have a good starting line up and they have good bench players as well.

Agree, and there were team that managed to do well in the league though they don't have that much of a big player like Fajardo such as Magnolia, and TNT, you name it. C. Stand is enough, if the team itself can maximize the potential C. Stand can produce, believe they'll be giving every team a hard time winning against them specially in All Filipino Cup, even SMB or Ginebra (though Ginebra IMO is quite weak in AFC). Right rotation, and playstyle would bring them ring.

^snip^though Ginebra IMO is quite weak in AFC.

I would disagree with that, they are a different team now, remember, last time, they don't have Pringle, but now he is playing with the team and it seems like he had already found a way to be effective in the team. IMO, they already have a good line up now, Japeth has improve a lot as well, and their rotation now will be fast since Greg is already out.

With Cstand playing like an import on a importless conference, no doubt NorthPort will break team records soon. I just hope that no more idiot move on the management side.

They haven't trade Romeo and Pringle immediately, so they will certainly test C. Stand if he can bring success to the team.
Getting into the Semi's and Finals is a great achievement, I hope North Port will be able to achieve that with the current line so they will not again experiment by trading their players. For sure, if they decide to trade C. Stand, a lot of team would interest on him if he remains healthy.

Imagine if Terrence and Pringle played alongside with C.Stand how far this team will go and how many season would be in their belt right now? I just remember how Romeo and C.Stand helps SMB they've got the 1-2 punch that really works, I love seeing this two sharing the ball and finding each other when creating a play, both players are dedicated to contribute, and with Pringle who also have the same passion.
No more trades just the coach if possible..hehehe kidding aside, all Filipino is really interesting without Junemar.

I hope no more trade this time for Northport but would you believe that the shipping of Cstand to NorthPort is a prelude to a bigger act of SMC? The plan is trade Cstand to NorthPort then NorthPort will trade him to Ginebra but thanks to Greg Slaughter who spoiled it all. Slaughter is the savior of the PBA, fan-wise lol.

He knows something that is why he quit basketball, I'm not sure he will come back again but he could maybe with other teams, for now, I don't like to expect something from him as he really did not meet the expectation of the people, JMF ruled the PBA on big man competition.

Well, being the coach of one of the greatest team right now, so do I, being the greatest coach as well.

SMB is the best team in the PBA, so it's obvious that they will pick the coach as the best coach.
Autria has a lot of achievement already as a SMB coach, soon he will retire, he might join the hall of famer although Tim Cone still has the better record.

Big congratulations to him, he is professional and maybe he handles his team very well so he got the respect from his players.

He is the best coach of the year. Speaking of the best coach and you mentioned about Time Cone.

I'll never forget how Tim Cone make it possible to the "Hotshots" to touch a Grandslam few years back. I was wondering if who will be the next Gilas Pilipinas coach (I hope one of them).

It is either between the two. But I certainly think it would be Tim Cone though the problem is, would he accept the offer? Because if not then it would be for Austria or maybe up for Norman Black, who knows? Norman Black is good coach as well though.

Anyway, everytime I think about Hotshots, Tim would always be there. Maybe the same for the others because of that historical feat he made, he is more like the face of that team.

I keep my hopes for Popovich being the next coach if neither Time Cone of Austria wouldn't be the next. Next few years would be much exciting if you don't forget about Kai Sotto, Kobe Paras and others.

LOL .. Popovich won't leave the spurs to coach a PBA team, and for sure the SMB team will not be able to afford Greg Popovich.
This guy will soon retire as the head coach of the SA Spurs, and he is already a legend in his line of job.

If not one of them will be chosen well I don't think there will be something good happen with Gilas since other who handle already the young boys failed on their journey and maybe by the help of Tim Cone together with the experience of other veterans they can contribute to get a great series, We know how good Tim handles especially we know how he rotates his players and that would be a good boost for every player on Gilas to get a confidence if Coach Tim will be assigned as their new head coach.

For Popovich nah it's just a dream  .

I would be happy to see Tim Cone going back to Alaska as that's the first time I saw him coaching in the PBA, and with that, I really become a big fan of Alaska way back, now it seems like Alaska is not a good contender anymore, especially when they let go of Abueva.

You never know ROFL.

Head Coach: Tab Baldwin or Mark Dickel
Assistant Coach: Leo Austria (optional if it's international) and Tim Cone

I think this were all good. If were looking for international coaches.

[Finestream]

Head Coach: Tab Baldwin or Mark Dickel

I don't really admire Mark Dickel, he is a consultant now of TNT but it looks like he is coaching the team, but there's only a little improvement to the team, it's still the same TNT I saw that is lack of depth when it comes to the playoffs time or the elimination.

For Tab Baldwin, well, this guy is really great, coach of Ateneo and he gives success to the team.
Also, as an international coach, he was the best coach so far that handles the team Gilas.

When Tab handled the gilas, Romeo became a sensation not only here in our country but also to those countries he's been exposed, Tab brings gilas the exposures not just puso but a competition where the Filipino pride really upgrade the respect of other nations to our team.
Not sure why Chot came back and handled again the team where he only rotate the Tropang texters inside.

...

Well, Mark Dickel is still have the shot, a little or not there still a room for improvement. Logistically speaking, what we got Tab Baldwin is the best shot and a lot of articles has been saying if you search "Gilas Pilipinas latest coach" it's Mark or Tab.

They were really sensational that time, Romeo was the one who is the most popular in the Gilas team, but other player like Abueva was also playing with so much energy that time, and we can tell after when other coach stepped up on the plate, and worst when Yeng took over as Romeo was never inserted in the line up.

It seems to me that Yeng coaches the team way too personal than looking upon the objectives. He even picked his players rather than looking generally on who is more capable of playing in internationals. Though one of the great coaches there but he is not as great as being the right coach for GILAS, IMO. If it weren't about that brawl happened back then the team itself would play as if their last. Anyway, still waiting with those promising young guns we have in future though.
