He's brought championship to TNT and that's why he's demanding. But if I am the management of TNT, I'd just let it go because if someone don't have that passion to play for the team despite being paid that much, he should know that even this is a professional league and career, budget might be a problem for the team although they've been there around for a long time. There could even bigger problems as you've said since the salary cap is bypassed if granted his request for a bigger cap.

Saying Mikey Williams brought a championship to TNT is not an appropriate description to say, at least for me.

When TNT won the 2021 PBA Philippine Cup, Williams might have been the Finals MVP there but the whole cast of TNT also contributed big. It just happened that Williams topped the scorecard but overall, he's not the one who brought TNT a championship back then. Can't say he brought the championship in that case.

When TNT won the 2023 PBA Governors Cup, the league couldn't give the MVP to the import that's why the locals are chosen. But on the whole series, it was their import Hollis-Jefferson as the main reason why TNT dominated the Brgy. Ginebra in the Finals.

Mikey Williams has had a bad attitude even before. Always late in the practice without being noticed, always asking for a max salary increase even way back in his rookie season because he claimed he was good (yes he's good but not professional). TNT can move forward without him not unless Mikey Williams itself will be humble in returning to the team.

He's no doubt needed by TNT but if negotiations won't do with both of them then TNT has to drop their interest on him and they should just go for any other available player that can play his role. He sure is fit with the TNT but if the budget won't fit what he's asking, there will be a lot of issues since this type of talks have been publicized already when the maximum salary cap isn't even half of what he's asking and this is another controversy for the PBA management why they are obviously allowing such under the table.

Better to let him go and not pursue in any negotiations with him, there are many things that TNT needs to explain about his demands if ever they'll managed to sign him back, it was publicly reported and with salary cap that each players can receive for sure it will bounce to the pba commissioner if they will allow this under the table negotiations, I agree that he deserves the payment he's demanding but they placed that cap so better to follow the rules.

Though I doubt, if TNT will continue trying maybe they'll just come up with something to announce if ever Mikey will play for them again, we know how things works inside this league, just need and wait on any progress that will be announced.

78-94, it's a 16 point victory.

They are back!

Hopefully they will carry that momentum on their next game. You can see how good their defense are to limit their opponent to 78 points only. This team reach the Semi Finals, for sure that experience was already huge as a factor for them to be more confident, and with this strong 4th quarter run is a resemblance to what they did during their series with the Magnolia Hotshots.

RR Garcia was probably the best player since he score 20 points, the leading scorer and it looks like he turned the clock back with his great performance.

Honestly, I'm surprised and impressed at the same time as I haven't seen him getting this kind of numbers anymore.

Yeah, they managed to reached the semis last season and they are now showing what they've got, after losing 2 games they are now adjusting and I like how you pointed out the defense that they've made, limiting their opponents especially in the 2nd half they just need to be consistent and just play the game with full confidence working along side of each other, they've got a long season to compete and for sure lots of games to work and execute that right system to win a game.

Speaking of Garcia it was way back from the time where him and Romeo was so hot, it's been a long time just like you said to see him producing this numbers.

PBA have games today, 2 games to be exact.

The first game is over and NLEX again with a win. As usual, Bollick led the game on that win. And it's almost a triple double performance for him.

21 points
9 rebounds.
9 assists.

He is beginning to look like a really special player. I think if we want to see the TNT improve, they should have gotten Bollick as he is good at sharing the ball, making his teammates better and could really carry a team in a consistent basis.

He is playing inspired basketball since his baby will be out soon. And she has a lovely wife, I think he is a lucky man and he is happy with his marriage. NLEX now on a winning streak, just a great start of the season for Bollick, clearly we can see that he is an all around player. Meanwhile, Phoenix finally are in the win column, after 2 losing streak, they were able to win via blowout beating the DYIP. It was all tied in the 3rd but in the 4th quarter they have a big run. Great adjustment as they outscored the DYIP 30-14 in just the last quarter.

78-94, it's a 16 point victory.

With Mikey williams, Poguy and Oftana I think they've something to compete with but since Williams is no longer playing with them and Poguy is unable to help that much, Oftana can't take the whole responsibilities, still young and still need more help from his squad.

Speaking of Mikey Williams, I've read that he's asking for a max contract of $31k-$40k from TNT as the negotiation is on again. But then, there was a counter offer from the TNT giving him $26k with some perks that he'd surely like from having a free rent and free car. When he asked for a counter offer of $31k, there was no reply anymore from the TNT. I know that he's good and an MVP but this is more than the policy of salary cap of the PBA and they're allowing this to get spilled? What team can offer him this, maybe Converge?

Also read the same article, and the fact that TNT is still pursuing him despite of that high offer, it only says that they really want him to be in the team. Williams will be very effective under coach Chot system because they need a player who can go ISO most of the time, and with his talent he is very fit to the TNT. Also, we should not forget that the first time Mikey Williams played with the TNT, they already won a championship IIRC.

Desperate times comes with desperate measures, so that is what is happening with TNT now as they don't want this team to become a trash. It's owned by a billionaire, sure they can afford to give the demand of Mikey Williams but they are negotiating like a business people, so hopefully they'll agree with the terms as TNT really need him to help castro carry the team.

I thought they already let go of him due to attitude problem, but with this recent rumors, it looks very positive that they have made a decison to get Mikey back again in the Philippines to play with TNT.

Another one, if he will be back with TNT, is he gonna play with Gilas too, or will coach Tim be interested in getting him?

Those are legit big 3 in the PBA now. But it was only between SMB and Ginebra which are competing for the championship as they have a lot of quality players. Players that could dominate inside and could score outside, that's SMB and Ginebra... It's their brand that they are making it stronger and this conference, I believe we will again see SMB in the Finals but hopefully it will be versus the Ginebra so people will be excited to watch a 50-50 battle.

If we will based from the players capabilities and their overall competitiveness I agree that both SMB and Ginebra are the two squads that have big potentials to reached the finals, both teams can dominate up to 3-5 years if there's no manipulation and these two teams are from the rival companies, not a bias but if in terms of overall stats both teams can represent our national flag.

During the prime Jason Castro, this team is a championship caliber team. However, the current status of the team is compose of young players, only Castro and Williams are the veterans here and these young players have still haven't proven anything yet. If only they have Mikey Williams in the line up, this could be a very competitive team and I believe they have a shot at winning a championship.

During that time TNT is one of favorite team to win a title and they perform good and satisfy their fans since they are fun to watch the. Now their star players are out of prime and the other one still finding his self then trying to figure out if he can still get more decent pay cuts. Although they have good young players in their team but I think this is not enough especially SMB teams is full of young talents.

What I like to see is those what they called farm team will step up and atmosphere will be change then they became competitive since if they could able to retain their stars and compete then go to playoffs or finals for sure the landscape will be change and fans might get interested to watch them live. Until monopoly in PBA will not stop we can still see SMB teams will dominate the league.

Farm teams are created for the purpose, and that is only to farm potential player that will eventually be traded to the strong teams. They might have started strong like what we've seen so far, but I doubt they'll be in the championship since no "farm team" has reach a championship yet.

PBA start to collapsed when farm team has been added on the league and its like people know already what's cooking inside of those team that's why many fans are now not watching PBA since somehow they make the league so boring and they always take those favor asked by those billionaires.

... will be taking a parlay on the moneyline.

Unfortunately Phoenix fall short int he last quarter. You can see the rust in the game since they are outscored in the first quarter, slowly they made an adjustment until the 4th quarter but still fall by 4 points. Parlay is dead, you need to come back in the 2nd game, double or nothing?

I think It will be Ginebra winning the 2nd game, they are -5.5 now, hopefully they'll dominate for an easy win. I might just wait for the live betting here, it's hard to trust nowadays, you know it's PBA, nothing is impossible, even bad teams could look good.

This could be the way Ginebra choses this season as we all know, the league is being questioned about manipulation of the game, and that’s why even the strongest team suffers a shocking loss. Well, politics in PBA is still there and we might not be able to witness the greatness of PBA again, so be sure if you are going to bet with PBA know its risk and be ready for a possible different outcome.

We can't remove that fact anymore, manipulation is not by far, as there are two major franchise companies who really dominates the league, but it's too early for that as even manipulation can be done if there's no bettors they can't do anything, they need to pretend first so fans and gamblers will still be there to bets for their picks, but I agree to you gamblers needs to accept the high risk that they'll going to take,.

So far, both SMB and Ginebra are the teams that have the capabilities to dominate, I don't see any chance from MVP's squad, unless big trades happened and shuffle their players to form another competitive squads.

Hopefully the TNT, but unfortunately they don't have a players that could match the SMB and Ginebra in the competiton particularly in the playoffs.

The big 3 teams now are all from SMB, if I may ranked, this will be my ranking.

1- SMB
2- Ginebra
3 - Magnolia.

You can only choose one of these 3 to become a champion this season, it's all Filipino and they have bigs to dominate. As of now, SMB hasn't played yet as they are given a long rest, their debut will be this friday against the Rain or Shine, this should be an easy win.

Those are legit big 3 in the PBA now. But it was only between SMB and Ginebra which are competing for the championship as they have a lot of quality players.

This could be the way Ginebra choses this season as we all know, the league is being questioned about manipulation of the game, and that’s why even the strongest team suffers a shocking loss. Well, politics in PBA is still there and we might not be able to witness the greatness of PBA again, so be sure if you are going to bet with PBA know its risk and be ready for a possible different outcome.

We can't remove that fact anymore, manipulation is not by far, as there are two major franchise companies who really dominates the league, but it's too early for that as even manipulation can be done if there's no bettors they can't do anything, they need to pretend first so fans and gamblers will still be there to bets for their picks, but I agree to you gamblers needs to accept the high risk that they'll going to take,.

So far, both SMB and Ginebra are the teams that have the capabilities to dominate, I don't see any chance from MVP's squad, unless big trades happened and shuffle their players to form another competitive squads.

Hopefully the TNT, but unfortunately they don't have a players that could match the SMB and Ginebra in the competiton particularly in the playoffs.

The big 3 teams now are all from SMB, if I may ranked, this will be my ranking.

1- SMB
2- Ginebra
3 - Magnolia.

You can only choose one of these 3 to become a champion this season, it's all Filipino and they have bigs to dominate. As of now, SMB hasn't played yet as they are given a long rest, their debut will be this friday against the Rain or Shine, this should be an easy win.

Anyway, let's go back to the game, the first game is over and Meralco loss, no Newsome, that's the reason why...

The loss was really huge for the team since he is their best player, without him they will struggle as they don't have a lot of players that could bring some firepower to win. ~~Low scoring game, should have favored the Bolts buts since Newsome was out,~~ they were not able to do that. I wasn't also aware that he was out, you know, PBA does not have an update regarding that or I just didn't check, i was just curiuos why they were the underdog seeing the live betting odds.

Edit : I have checked the boxscore fo the game and I saw his name on the list, Newsome actually played 32 minutes but only contributed 15 points.
You can check again .https://pba.ph/recap?match=2417609

On the 2nd game, it will be between Ginebra and Phoenix, I have already risk my money on Phoenix to win, and have some specials for bigger odds, Phoenix to win by 6-10, and 11+... Either one of the bets will hit, I'm still in profit, so hopefully Ginebra will lose.

Like the first game of the Ginebra, they are leading again, but good luck to your bet, still plenty of time to play, so not yet sure if Ginebra will win.

Hopefully you'll hit that winning margin range.

That manipulation rumors has been here for a while, it will never disappear as there are some bettors who don't like the outcome of the game they are betting. Actually, only bettors think of manipulation or rigging games, pure fans are just probably enjoying the game.
