Since MVP does not only own a big teams in the PBA, i think @bisdak is correct that SMC group would also do the same.
MVP and SMC are long time rivals already in PBA and some are thinking that the league itself rotates on these 2 companies only and those independent teams?? Hmmmmm
Anyway, thanks to MVP since he will donate dozes of Aztrazeneca to the players and officials.
If you may, I find another interesting topic aside from the Ray Parks issue
. Looks like after getting Standhardinger from NorthPort, SMC is eyeing to get Bollick now but this time on SMB. Ginebra got CStan and now SMB wants Bollick. Any takeaways with this?? I think it is just a rumor though but we know how credible this person is
Why all the good players are going to SMB, BGSM, and TNT?
I admire both players Bollick and Perez, they played well during their Rookie season and if only Bollick was not injured, he maybe able to show his strength to help his team. He will be a big help to the SMB to become a better team and this is a good place for him as this team is the favorites to with the championship so most probably players will work harder to get a bonus.
Add the fact that SMB's star players are at the age of 30's already, they really need a young superstar. They got Perez already and now they want more young superstars and Bollick could really be a big help for the team to retain its current position right now as a championship contender.
Why they are going to those 3 teams?? Money is the only thing that I see why they are trading players. Another one possibly would be their performance. Bollick injured and didn't play for a long time thus, he can't help his team anymore. I just hope that if Bollick will continue to go to SMB, he will not be that prone to injuries anymore.
I can call this the "Thirdy Effect"
.
What they only need is one player who has the initiative to go and play outside the country so that other players will follow him. Thirdy did it and now his brother Kiefer will be the next one. There is a possibility in the future that other star players here in the country might choose to play outside the country because of salary rather than playing in PBA.
Still a good decision for him though. Additional experience for him.
