Yeah, I agreed there's just 1% possibility that he would come back and play Basketball again.

This is too low, you guys really think he can't make it because you are just giving him 1% chance? lol...

Guys, Lutz was a great player, he was just sidelined because he was injured, but when he thinks he is healthy now, then I guess he can play.
Though he wasn't active anymore but his love for basketball will make him come back, and if ever he won't make it in the PBA, I'm sure he will be given a chance in other league in the Philippines like the MPBL.

Manny is waiting. Grin

Asu is right. 1% is the possibility of Lutz return to PBA, I even give it a 0% chance. No team showed interest with Lutz when he was placed as an unrestricted free agent by SMB. It took days before Meralco signed him so surely they discussed it to their table first as it was a risky move.

This is not about being a great player but his hip injury and ankle injury are crucial to the point that it needs years of recovery. Maybe in 2017, he still has that interest to commit playing again at 100% but as years pass by, it's just an interest today but not 100% consider. He is not doing any physical activity for many years so it will take time before he will cope up as a player.

At 35 years old, I think he will be fit as a part of team staff instead of being a player.

Taulava is still active, right? the oldest now.

Asi Taulava is active and this season should be his last dance in the PBA before assuming a coaching job at NLEX, he was promised that job by the management. I think he's the biggest loser of this pandemic because he might not be able to play on the last season of his career.

His case is different from that of RDO because he has still a live contract with NLEX and he can't simply announce that he is retired from playing in the PBA.

He is the oldest active PBA player right now, followed by Reynel Hugnatan if i am not mistaken.

Who would not know about this guy, he might be a big guy but I like his personality, he seem to be humble in the court and very friendly with his teammates. At this age, he is still participating in the international games, he made himself ready all the time for the Filipino fans, and actually I didn't know he will assume a coaching job, hopefully he will grow also as a coach.

Asi taulava is still active and he is still a player for NLEX road warrior at the position of Center. Now, he is the oldest player and still playing his 18th season on the career of PBA. He also played on Blu detergent kings on 1997-1999, Mobiline Phone Pals/Talk n text phone pals from 1999 to 2007, Coca-Cola tigers from 2007 to 2010, Meralco bolts from 2010 to 2012 and he plays 1 year for San Miguel beermens before he starts to play with NLEX Road Warrior.

I read an article about that here read it here guys https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/asi-taulava-on-retirement-plans-it-s-up-in-the-air-a793-20200512 but he mentioned about his still capable to play with maybe he will change his mind when all things clear out we know how asi love the game so maybe changes still there.

actually I didn't know he will assume a coaching job, hopefully he will grow also as a coach.

He's great player so provably the coaching position would fit on him since for sure his experience will help him lead his upcoming team if this really happens.

Correct, This guy have skills and talents to showcase, in-case PBA have no space for him there's still MPBL that can cater him and give him the chance to play back and share his skills.
If he feels that he already in good shape then it's time for him to playback and sign a new contract, whatever league it is as long as he can play the game for sure he will be good for it.

That's another option if he really want to play, for sure, with the big number of teams in MPBL, he will be able to sign a team.
Actually MPBL is also an exciting league, Manny did pretty well with making this league and lot of us have enjoyed watching it, however, since ABS CBN is close at the moment, what channel would televised the event once the league will resume?

For sure many teams will be happy if lutz will decide to join on MPBL but I don't think MPBL will be an option for lutz since the salary is low compare to PBA or in international league but maybe he will consider this option if he doesn't have any offer from any teams.

If he just really want to play again, he can't force himself to play in the PBA if no team will signed him anymore.
He is not getting any younger and he was inactive for quite awhile already, if MPBL opens up a door for him, then he could grab it and if he do better then probably he will get a chance to get back in the PBA again.

And that's the question on where MPBL will be televised tv 5 have PBA so I think this is a headache for Manny.

Those two are rivals, I won't expect TV 5 would allow, I guess since Manny was a talent of GMA before don't know currently, the maybe he could get some slot for MPBL.
