Read somewhere that PBA is pushing for an import conference next.

I've read of this too.

It's November and I don't think they have enough time for it.

We still don't know and we have to wait for the official announcement about the next conference if it's going to be with import. I think it's possible with the situation of pandemic is getting better.

3 imports are now confirmed with a high chance of playing next. What do you think?

Who are they? I still haven't seen their names.

Just a few minutes ago, One Sports facebook Page posted the list of the imports of some teams and here it is:

Quote

Brgy. Ginebra - Justin Brownlee
TNT - Mckenzie Moore
Magnolia - Mike Harris
Phoenix - Paul Harris
Rain or Shine - Henry Walker
San Miguel - Brendan Brown
NLEX - KJ McDaniels
Alaska - Olu Ashaolu

8 out of the 12 teams confirmed their imports already coming the Commissioner's Cup. Some of them are the previous imports to other teams like McDaniels who is at TNT last time, Ashaolu which is at NLEX, Walker who is at Blackwater. New names such as Brendan Brown and Moore. Still the Ginebra don't need to contact another import because they already have their resident import and a reliable one which is Justin Brownlee. I'm already excited with the upcoming conference. We might see more highlights now that imports are playing

.

I hope that playing with Brownlee BGSM will play more competitive this upcoming season; they are not playing the same way after acquiring Standhardinger. The chemistries between players are not jelling well.

Brownlee as a leader is expected to hype the rhythm back to this team, or, it's just the way for Gin kings not to be dragged since they are fully loaded
after CStan's trade.

We will see more exciting actions as PBA is trying to bring a much earlier new conference.

P.S. They didn't include it in the list but the Meralco Bolts will get Shabazz Muhammad as their import. He played in the NBA for 5 seasons and a first round pick in 2013. He isn't that popular but just knowing that he played in the NBA is something already. He played in CBA and averaged 30 points there. LINK

Coach Chot is very confident with what Kelly Williams could bring to the team, they were working for many years and they have some successful seasons together, so this is good for TNT and we might not yet see Kelly Williams retire soon. By the way, he is already 39 years old, I think he can still play at least 2 more seasons.

Kelly Williams is already retired before this conference. He didn't play in the 2020 bubble for the Katropa. Before the All-Filipino Conference this year, he came back from retirement, and what a blessing that he still got a championship before hanging his jersey.

He has a 2-years contract with the KaTropa. We will see him again until 2023.

The TNT's championship was a major achievement for Coach Chot.

Chot ties Dalupan for most PH Cup titles won

I'm sure there will be more championships to come with him as the TNT roster has now become a championship team with Mikey Williams on board.
What a comeback for him, I thought he is done with his PBA career but he made an epic come back surprising everyone.

TNT has won a championship because they are a healthy team, in addition, Mikey Williams is just unstoppable against the hotshots, but not with the SMB.

One thing that I just knew about Mikey Williams, he is already 30 years old. He may be a rookie in the PBA because it is his first year but he has already played so much basketball that's one reason why he played that way, he is almost the same age as Fajardo.

In fairness to him, he has a high basketball IQ though and he deserves the maximum contract that the team could give him as his years playing this level is numbered as he is not young.

Thanks for a little trivia, I don't know that he is already 30 years old, he looks younger than that IMO but I know he played a lot of basketball tournaments already. Compared to Ray Parks, I think is better as he was able to blend with the team and their chemistry is perfect.

Yup, he recently celebrated his birthday in the bubble last October 27, he was born in 1991.

Also a little trivia about him, he is also the nephew of Kelly Williams and this might be one of the reason he came back to the PBA Grin

.

The Williams have helped TNT a lot in this championship campaign and either one of them is injured, i doubt the series against Magnolia would be that easy. As what coach Chot said that a 50 percent healthy Kelly Williams is a big boost/help already to the team.

Coach Chot is very confident with what Kelly Williams could bring to the team, they were working for many years and they have some successful seasons together, so this is good for TNT and we might not yet see Kelly Williams retire soon. By the way, he is already 39 years old, I think he can still play at least 2 more seasons.

That's right because if he wasn't he would not ask Kelly to come out from retirement, they know each other, and Kelly Williams also is very confident that they could win championships together. I like this TNT team because their players are humble and therefore I believe they will get more championships together as long as coach Chot will continue to coach the team.

Now that the restrictions are getting better, I believe they can easily create another Bubble for a new Conference and mid November are impossible to happen though a short break for TNT after winning the title, that's still good as they are still fresh from the last conference.

Yes, Mikey Williams will have more confidence now, that's a big reward booster plus being a champion will always bring a good motivation to get another title.

I like to see how SMB will prepare in facing him again. That semi-finals is more like a final to me. MAG can't do anything about TNT's stars.
They are exploding from different side, Pogoy, Castro, Erram and Rosario are all there to help the team when Williams is being taken. I see personally that the best contender or best competitors against TNT is SMB.

It would be nice to see them playing in the finals, preparations are more than enough if the new conference will be announced.

Restrictions are getting lighter, we might see this new conference will be held inside metro. who knows, right? Wink

SMB will certainly find a way to beat the TNT, now that they all see how good it is against the Magnolia, I'm sure they'll be better next conference. Fajardo wasn't the best player for the team yet, they have to work on his health that he will be dominant again, and that way, they'll take points inside and get more rebounds which is the key to their success.

TNT has won a championship because they are a healthy team, in addition, Mikey Williams is just unstoppable against the hotshots, but not with the SMB.

Not just that, the big factor here is coach Chot, he handled the team well and for sure his direct relationship with Manny Pangilinan does really have the weight. We don't know what are the perks after this another title. PBA players who win a title always have bonuses and additional perks from the team owners.

If it's possible to share it with use, the perks information, not the physical one hehehe Grin

in this way, players are being inspired and keep doing the same system with good positive mentalities that they can repeat it again because they want to have more.

It's very interesting if how teams will adjust after seeing the domination of TNT this last bubble.

Congratulations to TNT for winning the PBA finals.

There's plenty of first-timers here on the TNT roster, I saw Pogoy and Erram crying for joy and they deserve it for all their hard work.
Undoubtedly, Mikey Williams also deserves to win the Finals MVP, he was cooking from game 1, and I think he is now a legit superstar for the PBA.

I'm wondering how much bonus they'll receive from MVP.
Mikey Williams should also not be shy of asking for a raise.

They made a great run the whole season and this is the result of their hard work, they really show true compassion in Basketball. Still kudos for Magnolia for giving a good battle in the finals.

Mikey Williams is indeed a great player, though its too early to ask for a raise but for sure TNT will do their best to keep Mikey on they roaster. Congrats to those who bet with them as well, let's celebrate that! Looking forward for the next season.

Not a season yet as they only called it a conference.

Well, actually they only lose one game of the many games they played, which shows their character to win and since Mikey Williams had already won a Finals MVP, next conference he will be more confident and he will lead the team to another championship.

I guess the PBA's next conference will start soon as according to the report.

PBA plan for a second conference starting in mid-November still on

Now that the restrictions are getting better, I believe they can easily create another Bubble for a new Conference and mid November are impossible to happen though a short break for TNT after winning the title, that's still good as they are still fresh from the last conference.

TNT Katropa makes Magnolia a practice session lol. All 4 winning games by them are all outscoring Magnolia. To be honest, TNT vs SMB is more of a Finals compared to that series. That TNT lineup will be their lineup for long.

What can you say about the Finals guys? For me, there's no tight competition at all. It's ok to lose but not a sure win right away for the other team.

Yup, the TNT vs SMB series is the more competitive series than the Finals maybe it's of injuries to Sangalang, Magnolia's main man in the middle. With him struggling, Magnolia doesn't stand a chance against the more athletic TNT in a series.

Let us also give credit to coach Chot Reyes for his brilliance in guiding the Katropa in their first championship in six years. Now we can conclude that coaching is one of the many reasons why they have failed to capture a crown for so long.

Congrats TNT, at least it's another face that we are seeing right now who held that championship trophy.

Soon if Jason Castro will retire, TNT will not have to worry as they have Mikey Williams to replace him.

This young superstar has impressed everyone as he won the finals MVP being a rookie, in fact, he played well in the series, he played like an import.
AFAIK, only Chris Ross can limit him, so it will be SMB vs TNT in the finals next conference, I think that's a good match-up as long as Fajardo will be 100% healthy next conference.

Exactly, Williams will be able to provide the offense necessary but at the same time, he also has to improve his passing skills. Jason Castro is a legit point guard, he doesn't need to score a lot but to make his team better by moving the ball very well, and that's what we saw in the series.

I'm sure Williams will have a lot to learn from Castro and hopefully when Castro retires, Williams will become a complete player.
