Yeah, that under the table is making sense in the PBA. It's not a secret that it's happening mostly in MVP and SMC teams, they don't even want to trade those players as they're closed with contracts until they finally end and no longer in use for the team. Just like what happened with Greg, his contract ended and got an offer to play in B League but because he can't stay there for so long and want to be with his family, it's good to see him play on MPBL and has still a good offer and contract.
He wouldn't come back if the offer is not good. I like to see Greg being helpful to this team, so hopefully that rumor is true and he'll be able to make a name again, but this time in MPBL. Personally I'm not really watching MPBL games, but I heard people say that it's more fun than the PBA.
Anyway, that is still a rumor until we see Greg in uniform of whatever team he'll be playing.
I haven't watched a game yet but the same feed back I've heard and read that MPBL games are more fun than PBA but of course, this thread is PBA but Greg was PBA as well so, that's still a consideration though.

That under the table deals will totally kill the interest of fans to watch PBA and we can already see its effect right now since we can see that there's so less interest of people to watch the live games even if the team playing is Ginebra or other strong teams in the League. Luckily Greg is already out on PBA and his on MPBL now since we maybe see a total fall down of PBA and it will be change by currently a hot league for filipino fans which is MPBL.
If their commissioner will continue to favor those three big companies on the league for sure the oldest basket league in Asia will collapsed.
When the known teams like a decade or more ago has been gone, there's something else to the league that had made them disappointed and out of the league. Because it's always been the top and known teams always get the title and it is not surprising if more teams does this in the near future.
