2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Russlenat]

I read some news popped up on my social media account, and it says that Japeth Aguilar will stay with Ginebra despite the offers from B-League. I think every one is getting an offer, especially the big man in the PBA and we will likely hear more news that a new player had already signed with B-League.

Maybe our performance during the international competition made the Japanese realize how good our talents were.

If Christian will leave after this season, who might replace him as their center?

B-League is recruiting everyone who has potential but they will never get all they want because some players will remain loyal and will stay in the PBA. Ginebra is a championship contender team, so they will likely receive some good bonuses if they'll win, that's another competition aside from their monthly salary which is based on their contract.

Maybe our performance during the international competition made the Japanese realize how good our talents were.

Maybe because in some of the games we beat the Team Japan.

If Christian will leave after this season, who might replace him as their center?

They will get from their roster for sure, Prince Caperal or  Joe Devance , and don't forget that Japeth can also play a center position.

Good decision for Japeth, he knew that he no longer on his prime he will only bring shame to his career. 

Kidding aside, he has a good relationship with Gin kings management so why bother to move away? His team gives him another chance for his career
it's better to end it up and retire using the banner.

We never know who among those stars will change up their minds and transfer to B-League. Only time will reveal that for us.

Don't talk about the "shame" because Japeth does not ask any favor for Ginebra to sign him, he did his best, he played hard that's why he was signed. If he chooses to sign with the b-League, Ginebra should not say anything bad as it is what it is, everyone changes their mind for the betterment of their future.

If he is not in his prime anymore, I don't think he will get an offer from B-League, so I disagree with that assumption as Japeth can still put up big numbers and is very useful on the defensive side. Aguilar is already 34 years, some players retire at age 38-40, so he can still play for 4 years.

What are you saying? Even not in prime, he is still better at those all active Filipinos playing right now in B-league. And why does he get an offer if you think he is already past his prime?

Who among the current PH players there playing at B-league can match Japeth's skills? Parks Jr.? Paras? Ravena's? Those PH players are in their prime but look they are not that ringing the bell in the basketball world. Nothing will be a shame in Japeth's career if he decides to be signed at B-league.

A news about Marc Pingris. He unretires and will play for Nueva Ecija in MPBL. His passion for basketball can't be removed and good to see him back play again but no longer for PBA but now for MPBL.

Is he really retires in basketball or this is just a strategy so he can move to MPBL?
He only retires last May 2021, and now he goes back to court well if there’s a good offer and no pressure to play at all, he can really accept it beside I still want him to see on court playing. Good luck on his new team and hopefully MPBL will get more exposure just like the PBA.

He retired on PBA and that speaks for his actual retirement. Probably there's a good offer that's hard to reject and that's why he's in. Also, he loves basketball so that's not questionable if he gets out from his retirement.
He has no active contract and he can accept any contract when he was retired. But now that he has accepted this offer, he'll stay there and we can still watch him play again in the court.

He can choose to play if he feels he is healthy, and the level of competition in MPBL is not that strong compared to the PBA, so as a big man, he can still dominate. I like his decision as MPBL really opens doors for PBA players that have cut their contract already, good luck to him, and hopefully he can contribute big time to his team like what he did during his time in the PBA.

There’s a lot of good players as well on MPBL and so underrated so this can still be hard ball for Marc but I also believe that there’s a good offer at a lesser pressure that’s why he choose to accept it. He’s still healthy and love to play basketball, its good that he accept it because MPBL has been the place for the players from PBA.

Also see this news and its not a shock to me since many athletes are coming back from their retirement so basketball here in our country are also belong to that. Its a good decision for Pingris for sure and probably he misses playing on court with his favorite sports, let’s see if Nueva Ecija will become more competitive after Marc joining this team. Seriously, MPBL are getting more serious year after year.

I agree with that, they could be a big competitor of the PBA as long as they are getting a good network to broadcast their games. Their league is not manipulated unlike in the PBA where one company could own multiple teams, that's not fair IMO as they could rigged a game if their teams will face each other and rigging games is like fooling the fans, that's why speculation will never be eliminated.

Marc Pingris still can play competitive basketball, the only thing that taken him aback in coming back to the PBA is the practice where he has to allot a lot of his precious time. Maybe in the MPBL, he has an agreement with the management that he would practice only on a minimal basis which I think is unfair to those young players who work hard but are not given ample playing minutes some game time.

[harizen]

Sometimes players think that they can still play after retirement. They will just realize it after several months of being retired.

Marc Pingris do have a good decision to come back play. I think the reason why he retires in PBA is because of Covid-19 related issues. He didn't play in the 2020 PBA bubble because of his injury and he sees the difficulty playing in the bubble. When the league returned the later year, and expected it to be the same setup, rather than playing, he hung his jersey and never play to a bubble setup. As Danica Sotto's said, he will support his husband to whatever his decision. The way that statement was constructed, Pingris is still capable to play but there are issues around it.

Looking forward that his decision to come back is making sense.

If you really love basketball, you will really make a way for you to always do it and for Pingris he really did it. As long as he can still play some minutes then it will be all good and for sure, he will share his experiences in PBA to his fellow teammates. Good thing that he returned in MPBL. Maybe in the next years, some old players from PBA will follow what he did as well.
On other news, SMC really is doing unexpected trades as they did another one again.
They traded Kyle Pascual and Justin Melton for the 8th pick of the last draft which is James Laput, a 6'10" center from TerraFirma Dyip.

Sangalang is considered an undersized big and Reavis is already old. They really need a big that can help Sangalang defend the paint and getting Laput for the team is a great pick. Though Laput didn't played well when he is in Dyip, many believe that his size will be a big help with the team he lands. After all he is just 25 years old. Just let him practice and hone his skills and he will be a good back up center for Magnolia. With this trade, its obvious that Magnolia won the trade since Melton and Pascual isn't used by Mags that much. SMC really is afraid after getting swept by MVP last season .

Kyle Pascual and Justin Melton are rarely used, so they better be traded to fill the disadvantage of the Magnolia. They are good in defense but they lack size, reason why they lose the last conference. Lots of trades have happened lately, I think we will still see more surprises in the next few days.

Another trade just happened.
TNT acquiring Carl Bryan Cruz in three-man trade with Blackwater

CHOT Reyes has always been intrigued by Carl Bryan Cruz's talent since he was a fixture in the Gilas Pilipinas roster during the former's time in charge.

Now he gets to handle the 6-foot-4 forward anew, but outside of the national team set-up.

Three-man deal
Cruz is bound for a reunion with Reyes at TNT Tropang Giga as Blackwater is trading the former Far Eastern University standout to the Tropang Giga for big man Chris Javier and a future first-round pick.

Seldom-used Blackwater rookie Mark Acuno was likewise thrown into the mix, packaged with the oft-injured Cruz to complete the trade.

I believe CBC would be a big help for TNT, this is the best team he is playing with and there's a big chance that he will win a championship.

Good luck to him.

Another Big trade and yes CBC will be a big help for TNT in the upcoming conference consider his experience in basketball. A three man trade is a big move for TNT just to have CBC, no pressure on this guy but hopefully its all worth it. TNT is trying to win another championship and they must really have a good and stronger team so they can succeed on this again, there's a chance for this.

You are right, I'm just pointing my opinion about Japeth personal career, the expectation if not being met, no offense to all of you.

I just remembered him after his try playing in the NBA and end up playing with TNT,

that kind of high expectation but he ended up being bench by coach Chot.

and I'm only kidding, so there's no offense. I know what pride Japeth brings to our country, a good member of team Gilas,

Not possible to be selected if you are not good, right?
