Now the loyalty of Romeo will be tested here. Will he accept the offer and eat the words that he said that he has a life debt to SMC or it will be the other way around.

Lets see how this one goes. Its starting to have an effect already. Many are expecting I think that this will have a domino effect not only for young players but for professional players in the PH as well and we don't know when this will end since it seems that Japan likes to get Filipino Imports . He can accept this offer but his name might get affected but either way, its his decision to go there or stay. It will just be harder for him since he spit those words like "he has a life debt to SMC therefore, he will not accept any offers from there".

He doesn't need that loyalty; he needs the money with how things change in his life now, better to think for a much better future, his career will be more effective if he will play outside the country, I used to remember when the call for him to play for Gilas and the coaching staff just take it for granted, not saying that it's not SMB alone but for sure if that said offer is for real, he should grab it now.

He already gives SMB his best from the past games that he played. I'm sure seeing his teammates leaving will also affect his
decisions.

We will know once he or the SMB managements will announce anything about this rumor,.

Romeo should take that offer now that he is still healthy, once he is prone to injuries, that offer will be gone and he will stay in the PBA for the rest of his life, and just like Cabagnot and Santos, he will also be traded because the team will never be loyal to him, all they do is for the interest of their business, not their personal relationships to their players.

Good thing is that the offer is still on, I heard that rumors before already about a huge contract but Romeo did not take it, maybe he would change his mind as we have a lot of Filipino players already playing in Japan for a greener pasture. Romeo has to be smart, if he plays at least 3 years in Japan, he can retire early because the salary is huge and with the money he'll receive, he can already secured his future after retirement.

Romeo is good but his attitude in court might be a big problem if ever he plays on Japan. Look what happened to Thirdy where he get sanctioned from his own team because of his bad behavior, well Romeo didn’t accept that for a reason most probably his management didn’t approve that. If Romeo will play on Japan, I hope to see a younger Romeo where he plays with a lot of motivation and with a good respect to other players as well.

That incident involving Thirdy Ravena was just an isolated case as the guy is not known for that, it's just a burst of emotion that he's the reason why they lose that game, surely he would learn from that experience.

Have read an article saying that Romeo and Bolick are the players that scouts from Japan really wanted because of their skills but I think that would not happen because both players have existing contracts with their mother teams.

For sure Romeo's attitude will change if ever he played in Japan as he has nowhere else to go if ever no more teams pick him up because of that reason.

[blockman]

Anyone who follows Snow Badua? Before, Romeo said that he has a life debt to SMC and that's why he doesn't want to accept B League's offer.

Snow Badua always released lots of rumors and the majority of them come true. I don't know his source but his speculation is mostly accurate. Maybe because of his influence as one of the popular journalists of Spin.ph.

Yes, he's most of the time accurate with his releases and he's got the reputation and that's why many believe in everything that he releases to the public.

But lately, the guy that I've mentioned has just opened the offer to Terrence for about $55,000/month and it will increase within the next year or next season of his stay in the B League.

Wait, I misunderstand this. Snow Badua was the one who offered that to Romeo?

I mean opening up of what was offered to Terrence Romeo and it's the B League that's offering that contract.

Romeo should take that offer now that he is still healthy, once he is prone to injuries, that offer will be gone and he will stay in the PBA for the rest of his life, and just like Cabagnot and Santos, he will also be traded because the team will never be loyal to him, all they do is for the interest of their business, not their personal relationships to their players.

SMB did it on their superstar players like Danny Siegle, Danny I, Allan Caidic, Arwind Santos and Cabagnot and many more in the future.
In SMB, there is no safe haven because you will be traded as long as you are becoming old and those old players out there such as Ross and Lassiter? They will be traded to maybe not this time but next year most probably.

On the other hand though, I think Romeo needs to take those offers outside PH but it seems that his loyalty to the team is what affects him in deciding. Well, all of these are just rumors for now. We saw CStand having rumors of going to B-League. We also saw Fajardo last year I think (correct me) and also Aguilar and now Romeo as well. Either way, if this is true then Romeo must take the offer now that he is still 29 years old. He is still at his prime years and he can earn more money outside PH for his family.

There are only a few players that retired in their desired team, but it should be okay, before they enter in the PBA, they know all the possibilities, and since it's a business, no team are going to keep a player that is not anymore performing based on the expectation of the management.

On the other hand though, I think Romeo needs to take those offers outside PH but it seems that his loyalty to the team is what affects him in deciding.

Everyone has a price, let's not close the possibility that one day he will change his mind and play with the Japan B League.

Well, all of these are just rumors for now. We saw CStand having rumors of going to B-League. We also saw Fajardo last year I think (correct me) and also Aguilar and now Romeo as well.

There are rumors involving the best players in the PBA, so let's just be open that they might decide to play with the B League and I'm just worried that PBA is less exciting to watch since our favorite players are moving out already.

Great news for Ginebra Fans, the team will remain intact and they'll not follow the SMB>

BARANGAY Ginebra is not pushing the panic button as far as making personnel changes is concerned with their core already into their late 30s, and its counterparts recently making efforts to get younger.

Head coach Tim Cone said management is aware about the need of the Kings to get younger with the likes of LA Tenorio, Japeth Aguilar, and Stanley Pringle already in their mid-30s, citing the trade to bring in Sidney Onwubere as proof.

But Cone said the core remains in their prime and still has a lot to offer in the coming conferences before making the transition of getting younger.

Maybe it also depends on how the coach would react, in the case of Leo Austria, maybe he agree with the decision of the management so the management made the decision easily.

They missed to be on the final last conference and yet the coach still believe on its players especially with the records that they have, he can’t just throw away those great players just because of their age that’s a great move by Ginebra. I also think that it will still depend on the decision of the coach since he’s the one that knows his own players and if he didn’t agree with the management, he can make a way.

It's very different when playing in his native land compared to playing abroad, for sure Romeo knows that and he will be careful because his contract is huge and he doesn't want to risk that. During international games that we saw Romeo is playing, he is just cool and plays his best, so I am expecting the same if he ever play with B league.

Yes, once you play abroad you should follow their rules and respect your contract and as an import you must show respect to everyone. With Romeo the way he played in local games, should not be our basis to judge him especially with the skills that he have. Though, there’s no final announcement yet with this one, I don’t think it will push through since Romeo is still under contract and its up to his management to allow him or not.

With the breakdown of the contract that he will get an increased salary per year, he would not make a bad decision messing up as he might not be able to come back to the PBA anymore. So I think Romeo will behave, he will set his patience to the highest level and play like a real professional or a real import.

All these things would only happen if he will accept the contract, so let's hope he'll grab it.

Lets forget first the Terrence Romeo rumors and lets see some other news that are related to Basketball

Shabazz Mohammad, the import of Meralco has been replaced by Tony Bishop. Mohammad is replaced due to a personal emergency.
- Base on One Sports Facebook Page, Bishop is the leading scorer of the Panama National Team in 2017 Fiba AmeriCup. Making a quick Google search and you will find that the National team ranks 48 overall so they are at the middle of the rankings. He is the top 2 leading scorer of the team with 16 PPG and the top rebounder with 9 RPG so I'm expecting that this averages will be higher coming into the PBA although I want to see Shabazz playing in the league. Its just very exciting to see an NBA player playing into our league but.. things like this are happening.

Anyway, any announcements into when the Governor's Cup will begin? Maybe I'm not updated

All about Terrence Rumors, let's move forward.. I don't know those names and it's still good to see the replacement before the player play inside the court, whatever emergency Shabazz have it's just missed opportunities for Pinoy fans and players to have him inside and see what he can contribute to the team.

in regard to his replacement, basing to your shared information, it's not bad and maybe he will still provide what Meralco needs from him.

We are all waiting and see what are the impacts of each imports to their respective teams.

I think I see a post here on previous pages that Governor's Cup should start this month of November. I just forgot who post that.

Long story short, the user who posted that is correct that the next conference should start this month. It was expected to start on November 28th.

But according to the article here: PBA Governors' Cup likely to be delayed as teams await arrival of imports, likely it will be delayed because only 5 imports are confirmed to play out of 12. The next target will be the 1st week of December.

They are probably working also on having the fans back to watch the game live, as previously reported, it will be in the 3rd or 4th week this month, so let's just be optimistic that they'll be on schedule.

https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/02/21/pba-hopes-to-have-fans-back-by-second-conference

The PBA will open its second conference of the season in the third or fourth week of November, with foreign reinforcements set to play once again. The league was only able to hold an All-Filipino Conference last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

That’s a strong record to begin with and lucky for Meralco to have that kind of Import though in terms of ranking we are still ahead of Panama fiba ranking which I can say that our basketball system are better compare to them. Well, this is not an individual performance though and Meralco have to work as a team here. No final announcement yet, hopefully early next year.

He might have a good record but I would still think that an import that has experience playing in the NBA is better since NBA would not draft a player without passing all the qualifications needed. Let's see if this replacement is good, the conference will probably start soon, so hopefully, all imports will arrive so they can start training with their respective team.

For me, I would rather see Christian playing in B-League rather than staying on his team that he is only criticized by the fans. In B-League, it's more competitive and the most important thing is the salary is way bigger than what he is making with the PBA.

There’s a lot of B-League adoption going on with so many players recently so if this is a good opportunity for them to grow and make money why not? Let’s just hope that PBA are more open to this and will not penalize those who skip the draft since we are in a new era now and Japan has been a great place for our players, this might be a good news for Christian.
