SMB gets Bollick, NorthPort will get either Ross or Lassiter or probably both plus maybe draft picks. They gave Arwind to NorthPort and Cabagnot in TerraFirma so it's pretty obvious that this might happen again soon if Bollick will become a free agent.
So they will have a reunion with Arwind Santos. These players are not yet done, they can make the Northport team better, so let's make that trade happen. Bollick is probably preserve and they will not let him play because they don't want to risk their precious player for trade.
Well, that's what they are doing. They will end up in a farm team and will retire there as well. This is the cycle that SMB is doing.
Independent teams get good players and then they will put it into another independent team and then from there, they will get it and will trade either old or bench players.
Look at Munzon now. NorthPort got him in exchange to some bench players and draft picks I guess. In the next season which is the Philippine Cup, SMB or even Ginebra might get him in exchange for some bench players. The cycle goes on and on and on and there's nothing that the management can do to stop it which is a bit ridiculous if you will ask me.
That's why they are being criticize, but despite that, people are still watching the game especially if Ginebra will be in the Finals game. A casual fan would not understand what's happening inside, they just want to watch the game and cheer for their favorite players. But if this kind of culture will continue, and a new league will emerge to be popular, maybe PBA will likely be affected and they'll be force to rebrand.
Nobody is talking about the debut game of the new import of Converge which is Jamaal Franklin.
He almost got a triple double with 42-11-8. Well, compared to Converge's first import which is Rusbatch, this plays far better than him, and with this win they might keep Franklin and will be their import. For now, Rusbatch is now on the reserve list of Converge. TerraFirma's import, Jordan Williams scored 46 points and it's good to see 4 other players scored in double digits in Dyip as well, but it wasn't enough to get the victory.
That was a huge number but unfortunately, they still lose the game, it was a close one though.
Next game will be TNT vs ROS, I think this one is also fun to watch.
