Another rumor involving a star and the SMB.

Is CJ Perez headed to SMB in a trade? Columbian star airs thoughts

The way I see it even if there's a chance it'll happen, I don't think it's a good move by the SMB because they already have a lot of talented players with the same position as CJ, I think now they need to find a big man than a guard.

When there's smoke , there's fire Grin

.

I think SMB is brewing something that involves CJ Perez and like you i don't like that move as a fan of PBA. You are right, the Beermen is a talent laden team and adding a future superstar in their line-up could make the league unbalance. If the rumor became a reality, Northport and Columbian Dyip are farm teams of SMB confirmed lol.

Hopefully this won't come into reality, otherwise the more the team would be unbalance in PBA and only few teams will dominate.

I believe Columbian DYIP is far from a title contender but at least they're fun to watch now because of CJ Perez.

This will destroy the Columbian DYIP if this would happen, no to this, its like trading Ray Park to a rich team and leave the Blackwater a shitty team again.
Rich team can use their money and power to abuse other team but hopefully this will not happen, CJ is okay with Columbian for sure.

My friends are saying that I should bet on Meralco since it has higher odds of winning game 1, but my father who usually watches games said that it is better to bet all of it to Ginebra. He's saying that the team might sweep the series, I laughed but I think would put my game 1 on Ginebra.

Why you are still talking about the Finals where Ginebra won?
Actually no one can easily predict what would happen, if Almazan wasn't injured, we could have seen a long series but shit happens, so Ginebra has more advantage to finish the game early,, anyway, let's talk about the current event or any news related to the upcoming conference.

That's why the upcoming season is a great opportunity for SMB to silence the critics that they are just relying on Fajardo every All-Filipino Cup.

A good opportunity for them but I'm still curious about how they will play in this All Filipino Cup. They don't have Fajardo right now and it is time for Tautuaa to step up right now. I have watched a video saying that Billy Mamaril didn't continue with his retirement because the management need his services as they don't have a 2nd Option for the center position right now that is why they signed him another contract.

Quote from: harizen on February 15, 2020, 06:56:05 PM

But roster basis if we compare to all teams, SMB is still on top. They have the most powerhouse cast in their roster lineup in the league. I don't see Fajardo's absence as a disadvantage too but it opens a more competitive match which the majority here wants.

Their roster is one of the best right now in PBA but there are good teams right now that are underrated in other conferences. The Meralco Bolts' roster is good already, they have good shooters and have a good rebounder. Ginebra's roster is good too. Fajardo's absence makes the conference more competitive yeah Cheesy

.

SMB's roster needs to step up right now. We know that they are relying on Fajardo sometimes. Now they must rely on themselves. Their strategy which is the small lineup will be good but they will lack on the inside presence especially the rebounds.

SMB is a powerhouse team but people think that they are more successful because of June Mar Fajardo, not they have to prove that they are not only relying on June Mar to win. if you remember their historic run in the past where they are down 0-3 against Alaska, but when Fajardo came back to play, SMB win the Finals with a series score of 4-3, so that alone would say how big Fajardo's contribution to the team.

That is the reason I think they will be having a hard time.

As I said, their team is good with someone that can dominate the area below the ring. Fajardo is one of those players that dominate that position in this league, I hope SMB can hold on without him. As you said Fajardo is the reason for that legendary run, and no one would ever forget that, that is just amazing.

He's the very dominating center from this league, with his presence inside the game play is different and you'll see the big advantage. But moving forward since he can't play now due to injury SMB needs to prove that they still got the right combination to continue their domination from this cup.
It's hard but they need to show their capabilities with or without Fajardo they need to compete and win the game.

They realy need to, because if they miss this time most of basketball fans out there will really think the same thing. They really need to prove that SMB is not all about Abay Grin

Yeah, no doubt that their roster is pretty good. They have good gunners in the outside, good ball handlers and good forwards; what I'm only worrying about is that can they balance the harmony of their team without their legit Center? Let' see. Now they are vulnerable in the paint, for sure other teams will take advantage of it thus they should brace themselves

Compare before that SMB is the sure favorites to win the All-Filipino Cup, it now becomes unpredictable.

I wonder what sports betting site does have an outright betting for PBA futures. Want to check how the odds will be provided or OP, how about considering a mutual betting for PBA All-Filipino Cup Champion? Although it will take several months for the outcome.

Phoenix seems to be having a problem in the next conference.

read the news : Big blow for Phoenix ahead of Philippine Cup as Jake Pascual, Dave Marcelo suffer injuries

They need a big man for their team, now these injuries would certainly affect the performance of the team, and until now there's no sign that Abueva will come back. I am not expecting anymore this team will advance in the elimination.

Justin Chua is the only Center that is available for now for the team and Perk is their Power Forward.

Without Abueva, TBH this team is a bust. No legitimate star player, and now their front courts are injured. The only thing that they can do right now is to trade some of their players if there are other teams that they can make a trade but with their current roster, I don't think that there are teams who want to trade with them.

With this injuries, they might force to trade some of their players.

They even struggle when Abueva was suspended, the more they will struggle now as two big man were injured.
It's suppose to be the time where Abueva would shine since his more effective in all Filipino cup and that's what I see when he was still playing with the Alaska.

As we can see in their line up(https://www.pba.ph/teams/phoenix-fuelmasters), they only have Justin Chua that will play as the real center, Marcelo could have help but he is now injured so they'll have to find a support for Chua which is not a superhuman that could play the entire game.

They have some bigs also that can play the center like Perkins but that might affect the points he can contribute to his team as he is more effective on his current position now. Now, that centers are down, it seems like SMB's chance is still good in the next conference.

SMB squad are good but their weakness actually is the center position because they invested a lot of Fajardo so when he is out, we might see their weakness, they have Moala D. Tautuaa who will be given more minutes but his height is only 6 ft 8 in so they will not dominate the paint and I don't see him a hard working inside man like Fajardo, he needs to absurb the physicality inside.

They'll go small ball then they will be faster and they can do that for sure as they have great shooters and great PG who can handle the ball and make good plays at the same time.

I think they are inspired with the current Rockets strategy int he NBA. Grin

I think they will be having a hard time.

They have good players and I think they would dominate attacking the basket than shooting outside. They have Arwind that is good with it, Romeo can handle the ball. They also have other teams that can give them points, and I hope Fajardo can recover quickly. Another thing is that as far as I know, each team has their extra players that can fill that position.

This is the adjustment you guys are talking.

San Miguel planning to go 'small ball' in Fajardo's absence

I don't see a big change. I don't see them having a small lineup too. Fajardo is the only one who will be out.

Fajardo is always associated with PG: Romeo, Cabagnot SG/SF: Lassiter, Ross SF/PF: Santos - these are always the rotation of the first squad. They even make faster plays even with Fajardo on the floor so small or big or whatever they say, they can execute those plays.

Replace Fajardo with a center bench then that fills the hole. I don't see any small lineup here. Still the same as the lineup like the other teams which don't have a big man like Fajardo.

We can't really compare the Rockets situation here to SMB situation as in PBA, every team can compete even without a consistent center as other teams don't have a strong and consistent center too. PBA teams can really play with a small lineup without a problem. Look at Alaska, the tallest on their roster is 6'6. In TNT, 6'7, In Magnolia 6'6. SMB has a couple of 6'6 and 6'7 while Santos is 6'4.

That's right, though it's really a big difference if they have Fajardo but the team need to adjust and try to fill that position. All-Filipino is about local talents and SMB have those known stars who can deliver.

Adjustment and keep playing with the right system to follow, whoever to replace Fajardo's shoes don't need to be a scorer defensive help and rebounding and let those stars around him to the rest. We will see more when the league starts.
