Maybe he realized in the end that he made a bad decision, he could have consulted his friends yet before making a decision to play so there's no news about it and it will not excite people to see him again playing. Or, maybe the Magnolia staff called him to stop him from playing, it's just my speculation but if someone valued his previous team especially that he played with them for a long period of time, that respect will always remain.
Probably he did as he has a contract and he has been called by the company that he has a bind with and shouldn't go against with their terms. I didn't know that he has bind contract with Magnolia as said in the past posts, it seems that these great PBA players were given another opportunity by their team if they ended up good with them.So it's not just all about PBA but after it, there's a livelihood that they're given for which they can still have their contact and connection to the management of the team where they've retired.
Just how "The Captain" ends well, still part of the franchise after retiring his jersey not alone with the team franchise but also with his business, not sure but as far as I remember he owns the franchise of Magnolia's Cheick N' Juicy and I see that this also the same conflict between Pingris and MPBL, Choks-to-go the major business rival was the major partner of MPBL, if Ping will play wearing any jersey inside MPBL he will be force to wear and advertise Choks-to-go under his jersey.
Not good for his new venture after retirement. Poultry business is one of the best money making if you are aiming for long-term security
it's better to continue a good relationship with SMB corp.
No teams can stop them now. If Blatche will be signed, he should be on lower-tier teams but given the expected salary, SMB and MVP teams are might be the only ones capable of paying him.
