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 Cheesy. 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 Cheesy

@Finestream, this is the biggest news by far, PBA is ensuring that vaccine are available to the PBA players and staff before they will open the new season. It will be a month from now and we will see it opened with some big changes on team's line up for some teams.

Thanks for this update, I'm also happy to know that finally the fear and doubt is now gone.

As what we were talking, PBA is now on track of starting its 46th season as vaccine is already available for them.

PBA gets added COVID-19 vaccines courtesy of MVP


Quote
THE PBA expressed gratitude to sportsman-businessman Manny V. Pangilinan for allotting a number of COVID-19 vaccines for use by the league in the coming 46th season.

Board Vice Chairman Bobby Rosales disclosed on Tuesday that Pangilinan is providing AztraZeneca vaccines for players and personnel of the league especially with Asia's pioneering pro league looking at adopting a closed-circuit system when the Philippine Cup tentatively set to start on April 11.

Pangilinan, who owns the three teams under the MVP group, namely TnT Tropang Giga, NLEX, and Meralco, expressed to donate 3,000 doses of the vaccine for 1,500 members of the PBA family.

"For that, we are very grateful for MVP for looking after the welfare of the players of all teams and their dependents," said Rosales in the virtual press conference that proceeded the two-day planning session held by the league Board.

"Anytime the vaccines arrive, this will be offered and given to the players and their dependents."

What a great gesture by MVP, being so thoughtful on the people of the PBA and being betrayed by his player, Ray Parks hehe.

Kidding aside, I think more vaccine doses will be coming to the PBA as the top management of SMC, courtesy of RSA is also planning the same so we might be able to see PBA games live in the arena next month if everything goes smoothly as planned.

Last time I've read in the news that the PBA board is planning a two conference season, All-Filipino Cup and Governor's Cup with an import so I think the board is very confident that imports can already play in Philippine soil in the coming months.

I'm happy to see this news, MVP is the real MVP as without his support we would not feel this kind of assurance that PBA will resume and they don't have to play a bubble style anymore. Probably there will be crowd but a small crowd compared to the pre covid numbers but it's still a great start so hopefully the development will continue and we will be seeing PBA coming back in a better new season.

About the influence of bigger people in the league, there's always that pick that's favorable to a bigger team and has a known boss. But we only hear those rumors.
For which, we think that there's really an influence coming from them and for roster changes and transfers and as well as game results. Again, it's all just rumors IMHO.

Of course because they will never admit it, it will not help the reputation of the PBA but in reality it's the big teams that are controlling the PBA. Coach Yeng was right on his statement that it's high time to increase the number of teams in the PBA, let the other big players come and play so we will see more action and not just one or two teams making themselves a super team.
IIRC, there's one player that have been vocal about that issue. But he's not a player in today's time but it was in the past. I just watched a video about those players who have been kicked out of the league because of that reason. He was too vocal that he's able to mention this rumor which seems to be true. Because if it's just a rumor, they won't kick that player. I forgot that name but if you'll ever search it on FB, you'll see that video as a list of those kicked out players.

Those who are looking of Junemar Fajardo's news, we might not see him play in the opening but coach Leo assures he will play this upcoming season.

Here it is Austria admits rehab setback kept Fajardo from March return

reason;
Quote
JUNE Mar Fajardo’s return to active playing may be delayed, but coach Leo Austria assured the six-time PBA MVP will be suiting up for San Miguel this coming 46th season.

The infection the 6-foot-10 giant giant had in his surgically repaired tibia caused the setback in his comeback, admitted Austria.

That must be a serious problem, the fact that there was still an infection that means that the injury is not yet fully healed, I thought he is good to go as he was already joining the team's practice, but anyway,  let's hope for his fast recovery as I'm pretty sure the league miss the "Abay" already.

May Parks is too spoiled, he might have loss his interest playing in the PBA as he believe he can play with other leagues.
he cannot be contacted, that means he is not being professional, and he doesn't deserve to be in the business.

Should be given a penalty. Regardless of his reason, he is under contract. He can just say he doesn't want to play unless that's a serious matter and should have good coordination with the TNT management.

TNT management must do something to penalize that kind of player. TNT is one of the biggest companies in the league so getting a replacement for the likes of Ray Parks should not be a problem. I don't know Ray Park's reason but it's unprofessional to just make things like that without a good talk with the management.

His reason maybe acceptable but with his lack of communication, that's unacceptable.

I remember this news ; Christian Standhardinger misses sister's wedding while on Gilas duty

You see how some player sacrifice an important event just to do his duty to play for the Gilas, this is the kind of sacrifice we should see from PBA players as they don't have responsibility to their team only, but most of all to their fans.

Lol, it looks like the rumors are true.

Sorry, TnT. Ray Parks' number cannot be reached at this time

May Parks is too spoiled, he might have loss his interest playing in the PBA as he believe he can play with other leagues.
he cannot be contacted, that means he is not being professional, and he doesn't deserve to be in the business.

Give that spot to a more deserving player, many players are dying to play in the PBA.

Yeah, you are right mate, Ray Parks who doesn't have achievements yet in the PBA is playing hard to get and it seems that he thinks he could get whatever he wanted but that's not the way things should work.

He should honor the contract he has signed with the Katropa or else faced the consequences of his action. Last time I've heard that TnT management is planning to file legal action against Parks for what he has done.

It's a good thing that they will bring this matter to the court to serve as a warning for those who are planning to do the same.



I hope the TNT management will be serious with that so he will learn his lesson. Why can't he just follow Fajardo who remains humble and professional to his job even over achieving in the PBA already. Looks like Ray Parks will not last in the PBA.

They were getting in the Finals even prior to this trade, they won the PBA Finals last season so no double about how good Ginebra is and they are even better now with the acquisition of C stand.
Stronger and better but bad for Greg.

We don't know yet, let's see how Greg will play this season, who knows.. it could be a blessing in disguise for him as North is not a championship contender so he will definitely get more touches on the ball and that will help him improve his stats.
Hmm, yes. It could be a good trade for him and he might showcase himself on his new team. Okay, I'll wish him the best on his journey with the new team that he's been traded with.
Good luck to him and his new team.

Big man is very important in a team, Greg is also useful with the Ginebra but they find a better big man that they will would fit the team in long term, so they get C. Stand and for Slaughter. North Port has nothing to lose, they are not a playoff team anyway, and we don't know if they are influence by the big team owners in the PBA.

I read some rumors in the past that there are already private people who got vaccine prior to the news that vaccines will be arriving or has arrived in the Philippines, so Maybe it's possible to get vaccine anytime soon. And even if there are delays, I'm pretty sure PBA teams will get a vaccine soon and we will see a crowd although measures are still in place.
Wow, that's great news then if they're able to take the vaccine privately since they're a big organization that might be considered and would contribute back with the economy.

I hope TNT can still win games and will get into the Finals.

Ray Parks announced that he will not play in the upcoming season.

TNT Tropang Giga’s Bobby Ray Parks not seeing action this season


Quote
“It is with a heavy heart that I will have to excuse myself and not partake in this year’s PBA season due to personal reasons which in particular, my family,” wrote Parks.

I think with his absence, TNT will have a better ball movement and Poguy will get more touch especially in the 3 point shooting.
How about you, what are your thoughts, is TNT better without Ray Parks or not?

That's also what I'm thinking when Parks got injured during the PBA bubble and I'm somehow correct in my speculation, Pogoy and Castro's touch of the ball increased, and though they lost the series their chemistry is back.

Manny Pangilinan, in his social media post, is very upset about this Parks leave on the PBA and it seems that he might do might something that might affect the cager's future.

This kind of attitude will not bring you a good future in the PBA, he might be boycotted by team owners.

I saw the post also and it doesn't look good for Ray Parks, and there are speculation that maybe this guy wants to get traded to any SMC teams. Hopefully he can still come back or still play in a good team but if his excuse is not substantial enough to justify his leave, then I think it would really affect his career as attitude matters in sports, and maybe if he is found out lying, he can be sanction by the league.
