2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[blockman]

I'll wait what will be the PBA management's reaction for such cases if they've noticed that a lot of players are migrating to those offers.

There are currently no such cases of "lots of PBA players" receiving offers from other leagues.

Yeah and I'll just wait if that's going to happen or not.

Will these rookies be able to help the team?

Blackwater offers two-year deals to Paras, Torralba; one year for Acuno

Honestly, I don't know the other two, I'm not a fan of NCAA or whatever college basketball, but Paras has been popular on TV so it's easy to recognize him.
They got a contract in Blackwater team, and I think Blackwater is really in tight budge as they can't sign a legit superstar, but just rookies.

I'm also familiar only with Paras but let's just give it to them and wait until the season starts and see if they'll prolong their stay on this upcoming season.

Seems that Blackwater is not intending to win a title but just to continue their participation inside this league. Signing those rookies is not a guarantee that they'll be able to help the team.

It's not adding anything as per my personal opinion, sorry but just like you I'm not familiar with those two,, aside from Andre who already been popular because of being a celebrty and a son of the Tower of Power of the PBA.

Nothing say but to wait till we see any possible addition that this rookies will contribute to not just to the  team but also to the league as well

Like they always do, they are just a training ground or a farm team as what some of our posters here have said, and I'm already convince with that though. Blackwater could actually compete at the start of the season, but the lack of experience will make them eliminated easily.

Nothing say but to wait till we see any possible addition that this rookies will contribute to not just to the  team but also to the league as
well

I don't expect a lot from these rookies though, or from the team itself.

I just have a question, as a friend is curious about this. It has been more than a year since the pandemic started and since then he has been online ever since. He did not find any use of his tv since his tv box from a big tv network lost the channels. Now after more than a year of not using the TV and only relying on the internet for streaming and video services, he is wondering if the PBA has an online presence too. Can he be able to watch latest games online and not through tv? Thanks in advance for answering.

Them being a championship contender?? Not at all.
They have traded some of their big players and now they can't afford some superstars. They are gambling with these rookies and since they didn't got a spot at the first round draft this year, they will try their luck again next year hoping that they can get some better players at that time.

Acuno is their first pick but in the second round. Not a fan of lower basketball leagues here like in NCAA or UAAP but lets just wait for him and Torralba to see how their performance will be. With Paraz on the other hand, a hardworking player in the paint and a player with a huge fan-based. Double purpose .

If I remember correctly, there is a page in Facebook where they are broadcasting PBA games live. I think its the page of TV5 if I'm not mistaken. Correct me if I'm wrong though but I know that there is one page in Facebook that are broadcasting PBA games online. Maybe somebody will help you here .

Yeah they have an online streaming particularly in facebook, there was a youtube before from TV but they stopped it.

Follow this facebook page, https://web.facebook.com/OneSportsPHL

They are the official partner of the PBA.

The fact the they are not popular in the NCAA, that only mean that these players are just average.

Can they help Blackwater win a championship? I don't think so, not even Paras.

Blackwater is just tanking so it can get the first pick overall next rookie drafting and sold it to it's mother team lol.

Few hours ago, there is a news in social media the Blackwater take a gamble on Kelly Nabong by signing him a deal but not even him can help the Bossing's cause.

You have a point though, they might not be a big factor because they are just rookies, well in terms of popularity, I think Paras is popular but the others they are not.

Nice steal by the Blackwater, it makes the team exciting to watch because Nabong likes to play physical and that would make the team interesting to follow. Nabong still in PBA, that's even a better news.

Bad news for Ray Parks I believe.

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/sadly-rayray-parks-is-at-the-mercy-of-tnt-and-the-pba-a2244-20210324?ref=feed_1_section

During the SPIN.ph Rumor or Fact livecast two days ago, word leaked that TNT will keep the disgruntled star's rights with little or no intention of letting him play in the MVP Group or elsewhere.

In other words, Ray Ray won't be dribbling the official PBA ball - Molten - anytime soon. He will be left on the sidelines agonizing over this alleged blackballing.

Looks like MVP and the PBA is giving him a serious management, they doesn't like what Ray Parks did, so is it good Ray Parks in the PBA?

I can understand, Ray Parks wasn't professional, and he thought that he was so special that MVP will always go after him, but he was wrong, he wasn't special as we have a lot of potential players in the PBA with the right attitude.

Talent wise, Ray Parks is good but attitude kills his talent, now he loses that opportunity.

There's no room for him in the PBA now, even with his previous team which is the San Miguel Alab Pilipinas, I still doubt they will give him a chance now that not only the TNT is against him but the PBA league, so it could influence the decision of other team owners as they would not tolerate this kind of attitude, it's an insult to the league and the team owners.

That's what he gets when he thinks that he's special enough to be chased by the management. He should better go abroad and take his time looking for opportunities. Maybe he'll get himself a favor by doing that since it seems that it's looking bad for him.
And for Andre Paras, P3M for 2 year was already a good deal for him. It could be more than what he's earning in showbiz but overtime it will grow if he performs well.

That's very much on point, thank you for your honest opinion, yes I think Blackwater has no chance to win a championship but I'm just hoping at least they will improve this season, they don't have a kind of star like Ray Parks, but if they will play with team good work, maybe they would give us a good surprise this season.

Few hours ago, there is a news in social media the Blackwater take a gamble on Kelly Nabong by signing him a deal but not even him can help the Bossing's cause.

A veteran like Nabong would help, as long as he teach his positive learning, not his bad attitude in the court.

The only opportunity that he may get now, taking things against the wall of this league, now everyone is against him.

He don't have any space inside this league as whoever take the risk will gamble the whole fate of their franchise.

And for Andre Paras, P3M for 2 year was already a good deal for him. It could be more than what he's earning in showbiz but overtime it will grow if he performs well.

Yeah right, it depends from how he will perform and what would be the fate of his team, there's always opportunities if he and

the whole squad perform well, maybe additional bonuses will applies to everyone.

From a team that is not even a playoff contender, I doubt he will improve or earn a bigger contract.  Maybe if he will get traded to a better team but we still have to see what he can do in the PBA as it's a bigger stage, bigger than any basketball league he has played before.

the whole squad perform well, maybe additional bonuses will applies to everyone.

Bonus only applies if the team will reach the Finals.. BW is not capable of that under their current roster.

One game lang today, di ako kampante sa mga pick ko sa iba.

Houston Rockets +4 lang against Wolves.
Di naman ganon kagaling ang Wolves so malamang may chance pang manalo ang Rockets dito dahil takot na sila sa long losing streak.

Sana maganda laro ni Wood at John Wall.

As for individual performance, I think that he is going to do good.
Additional bonuses are given when they are performing good and that is common for known good teams but I do not know how it is going for BlackWater.

Blackwater might have some bonus system as well but compared to the bigger names in the PBA like the SMB and TNT, I guess Blackwater bonuses are too small, also, this team is not a championship material, they have not improve and they don't compete very well against the championship team.

In short, they are like a decoy in the PBA, they play for fun and without a goal to be in the championship.

Prove me wrong!

It start with the team improvement, if the team will improve them probably the best player will get a good bonus. During the singing of contract, star players already get the advantage by getting a higher contract, so bonus is an extra and it should only speak of individual performance but as a whole.

I calculated and divided monthly, the result is Paras is getting 125k pesos per month, I guess not too big based on his financial status now.
