Alex Mallari, Jay-R Reyes now free agents after Phoenix exit

We have free agents here, I don't know about Jay-R Reyes impact in a team but I guess Alex Mallari still has something to give in a team. Maybe some team could acquire him in free agency, he can be a good help especially in defense.

I think many teams will go for Alex Mallari but whoever goes first or whoever goes with the best deal and contract, he's going to be there. But it's a higher chance that he's still going to be with a team after being a free agent.

I hope so, I already read some news about some players getting signed but these two has no contract until now. I follow his career and I can say he is a good defender though not so consistent in terms of offence, but getting him in the 2nd unit of a team, I guess he would be just fine.

Maybe he is not at his prime anymore, his best seasons in the PBA was with the star or the magnolia hotshots now.

Mallari and Reyes are still good I second you with your statement about placing them in the second squad,

they can bring some quality minutes if the  star  players are in need of rest. Though they both can still play but no longer the same type of speed and power, they already aging and that's really affects the way they play the game, plus those past injuries that also affecting their footwork.

Looking forward to see them playing still while they can still give some for this league.

I have known a bit of his career and he's still a good player to be considered by any of the team. Well, the season hasn't started yet and this probably has alarmed already the other teams that they can get some good player as addition and part of their team.
Wishing him luck that there will be a team to really take him before the season.

Jay-R Reyes is one of the most dominant Forward-Center during his prime days in Rain Or Shine. He is part of the original ROS team (former Welcoat).

His prime is now past and now entering the retirement period. He is not performing well for several seasons now. Since it's pandemic, I think he should consider hanging his jersey now. I doubt a team will still interested in him or if there's any, expect that the contract is not that decently.

Still young at 36 but have already past his prime, while Alex Mallari is just 34 years old and though not on his prime anymore but the way I see it, he can still play well if given a good role in a team. Maybe Magnolia could be interested in him, Calvin knows him and that is Alex old team.

For Reyes, I think his experience will also suit whichever team will take him just like Mallari. But whichever team will take any of the two won't be expecting a lot from them anymore and not of that impact until they prove themselves that experience through their career can be a good contribution and help to the possible team they'll be in.

Reyes has past its prime already obviously and Mallari can help the team maybe as a bench.
Now what team might get them? Reyes? I don't know obviously if there will be any team that will be interested in him knowing that he is 36 years old already. Maybe in some teams like TerraFirma where he can share his experience in those young players of the roster but aside from that I don't think that any team will be interested in him.

With Mallari, I don't think Mallari will fit in Magnolia for me. He is playing as a Guard which Magnolia has many (Lee, Melton, Barroca, Jalalon, Dela Rosa and the newly acquired Ahamnisi) so they don't need another guard anymore. He can play Small Forward position too but they already got reliable ones already. Abueva can be one, Dela Rosa can also or Corpuz. I'm thinking about him getting by Meralco. Hmmm..

That's a good point, Meralco is a defensive team and Mallari would fit on the team. Let's hope for his success as personally I love watching him in the court as he brings some energy when needed. Meralco is a kind of play that plays in a grit and grind manner, so maybe they'll be interested on him.

I really don't know what's in it with Jay-R Reyes, he got the height but it seems that he never played to his full potential. He is one of the players that Welcoat thought that will dominate in the PBA but that never happen. With the young players around and lot of free agents, i don't think PBA teams are interested in his service.

I agree with that, but how about Alex Mallari? Do you think he will land a team before the opening of the new season? He is a free agent together with Jay-R Reyes but Mallari is younger and still looks hunger to contribute the best he can for his team, if not only because of injury, he could have played more with the Phoenix.

As expected.

Another bubble means daily games to witnessed, that's the benefit for us who like to gamble on PBA because we will have more chance to gamble daily unlike in regular scheduled where games are only in Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

With Alex Mallari, i think there is another issue on his case.

His style of play or the way he play is not so impressive that his position can be taken by a full bloodied Pinoy with lower salary.

We all know that every team has a limit on the number of Fil-Foreigner on its team so i think Phoenix is planning to draft Fil-foreigner next season (just my thought) if there is an opportunity to pick high caliber Fil-ams, but still i think it's the ratio with salary with respect to performance is the main reason why Phoenix was letting him go.

Maybe Blackwater will save this guy this season, don't you think?  

[Distinctin]

Maybe Blackwater will save this guy this season, don't you think?  

Too bad if he will play with the Blackwater, he has no chance to win a championship with this team but he can still get a contract. I guess Blackwater is also focus on young players, so I'm not sure he still has a space in this team.

With this news, PBA may resume soon and there maybe no signing anymore.

Blackwater doesn't have a plan to became a champion they throw away there important piece thats why many think about they are a farm team. If they settled to hold their players and create a good young team for sure they will get a chance but looks like SMC corporation pays a lot of money unto them since every good player on their tean has been traded and theie roostee left is so questionable

That's our speculation last time so they have no choice. Increased covid cases, possible more lockdowns again in the future, they will be coming up with a solution just for this season to continue.
Although this may seem to be the last week of this lockdown yet they really have to consider the bubble.

Bubble like what have mentioned above you, favors the gamblers as we can place our bets in the daily process, more odds more
ways of placing our bets and aimed for some  good luck to grow our capital.

New normal way still far as the covid cases still rising PBA boards together with the team owners
see this as their last resort.

At least they are ready and they have this plan in place.. so this is it, we are seeing a bubble again. Actually for me it's alright since I can watch them live and I can bet at the same time, maybe bad for PBA as their revenue expectation will not be meet but this is just part of the challenge.

Well, in the current situation that we are in right now its obvious that another "bubble season" will happen. The number of cases right now especially in NCR and its nearby places are still increasing way higher than what it is last year. For gamblers out there, that would be a good sign since they can gamble again in PBA . Its just good that they will push through even though we are in a very hard situation right now.

Maybe Blackwater will save this guy this season, don't you think?  

Might be but I don't think that he is a perfect fit there. They already have too many guards (7 base on PBA website) and they don't need another one. What BlackWater needs is a reliable paint protector. Maybe Paras can fill that spot but overall, Blackwater will not be a playoff contender still.
Another sad news for the PBA. Looks like "Skyrus" Cyrus Baguio is retiring on the league.

https://pba.ph/news/baguio-knows-it-s-time-to-go

The signs were already there, according to the 40-year-old wingman, especially during his final year with NLEX when he noticed his body no longer responds the way it used to when he was younger.

And so there was no hesitation on his part when he talked to management about his plan to finally walk away from the game just when the Road Warriors were planning ahead for the league's coming 46th season.

After 16 years and three championships won, Baguio retired from the game where he spent the final three-and-a-half years of his career with NLEX.

Actually its already expected to have another "bubble season" because of the increasing number again of the infected, not only in ncr but also in the nearby provinces. This is the problem that we fought more than a year already but it seems there's no improvement even there's a vaccine available.

Well anyway this is good for gamblers who like to watch game daily and bet.

[Kasabus]

Playing in PBA helps gamblers a lot although not enough vaccines are available these games are becoming popular in corona through online play. A very good chance to win every day basketball has brought a reputation for the country by participating in various national and international competitions as a player of the national team which is known worldwide as a very popular sport. The teams have not been able to secure the championship either because of poor drafts non committed ownership or simply under achievement on the big stage it could be a franchise with no elite superstars more than any other league.

We are not superior in international competition that's the big reason why we did not win a championship, as you can see our height average is way lower compared to other countries such us USA, and europian teams, Asian teams are not that tall especially the Filipinos.
