The Japeth Aguilar Saga

[ogre]

I wonder how intense the public backlash will be...hmmm

[bhinov]

OT
secret!

[ogre]

Sowee guys, uwian na. Lito Alvarez wins, Philippine Basketball loses. Lets move on.

[GilG]

You and your non sence post about Japeth.. Japeth already insist that he is not interesed in big bucks and he wants to play for the flag.. but he doesnt have any choice but to sign..

Wow, maybe you should fix your grammar first before saying anything against other posters here. What do you mean "sence"? it's sense Also, it's not insist. It's supposedly "insists" since Japeth is singular

Cmon mam! its not right to say that since their nothing he can do.. he was force by everybody.. including the SBP itself.

its not right to say that since their

their? wow, it's "there is" Mr. Japeth nuthugger, not their

he was force by everybody

force? It's forced. Jesus, whatever happened to basic English,pfft

Going back to topic, looks like Japeth or shall I say MVP has made his decision. He probably doesn't want to start a rift with Alvarez so he had to tell Aguilar to sign. Politics even in basketball, it's disgusting

[kerouac82]

Yes i saw it too. Japeth will play for BK this Conference according to NBN Sports. For the nth time, who's on your Avatar Sakamoto?

So the contract will just be for one conference? If it is, the trade-to-TNT scenario could be true. Either that, or BK will let him go after one conference. After all, they still hold the rights to Japeth for two years after the draft.

Not exactly the ending most people would've wanted, but definitely a win-win situation for both BK and Japeth. Still, these are all mere speculations.

[Sakamoto]

I smell a trade coming. Could it be that Japeth will play one game for BK, then he gets traded to TNT, who, in turn, "reassigns" him to Gilas?

BK cannot have a direct trade with TNT because they are sister team. who do you think will be the conduit team?

[ogre]

Nitpicking? LoLz...

[geo]

japeth will play for BK, this was according to lito alvarez in the program NBN sports. According to alvarez, MVP played a very big role in the negotiations. right now japeth is still in the GAB for the process of his liscense as of this moment and he will sign the contract tommorow.

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! DAMN YOU ALVAREZ! DAMN YOU PBA! I'LL NEVER WATCH THE PBA GAMES AGAIN! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!:mad

I'm thinking it could be one of the non-SMC teams. Still, I won't say anything more until the contract is signed, the ink is dry, and the fine print comes to light. I suggest you all do the same para masaya.

They didn't say any details about the Contract. Alvarez said MVP played a big role why Japeth will play for BK. Okay, let's wait for Sir Nardy. I know he will post something to clear this up.

True I hope Sir Nardy can post something about it. It's really depressing. Haay I feel like Filipinos like Alvarez have absolutely have no regard for the national interest. Shame on the PBA. It's really so sad. We Filipinos screw ourselves over and over again. That's why nothing good happens to this country of ours. Hayop ka Alvarez!!!!

[nardong_putik]

Based from this progress I think RHK will come alive from this forum and will hear the JAPWET again!!

God Save the Philippines Basketball!!!

[bmxsummoner]

Poor kid. Never agreed with how he went about his dealings with the PBA, but this just goes to show that blackmail wins the day.

Hehe. Nope, it's a '73 Gibson S-400. Ibanez Artcore's looks like this too though. Sorry for OT.

According to NBN's Snow Badua (just a few minutes ago). Japs will play for BK when its playing Gilas but will play for Gilas when its playing other teams. The reason being Japs will have two contracts (the one for BK is supposed to be signed tomorrow). If you are confused as to how this will work out, so am I. So yes we have to wait for Sir Nards for clarification on this.

That sounds exhausting. To all other posters please refrain from bashing anyone linked with this saga. Remember there are two sides in a story.

‘The best of both worlds’

Alvarez, however, said that he is offering the former Ateneo standout the “best of both worlds”.

“I’m giving him the best of both worlds, it’s basically double or nothing. If he signs up with us, I will allow him to play for Smart-Gilas team. He will have the opportunity to get a contract from the PBA, he will get another contract from Smart-Gilas,” said the PBA chairman.

If Japeth agrees to the arrangement, said Alvarez, he could earn a total of P60 million in his lifetime.

“At this point in time, PBA is offering a maximum [monthly salary’s worth] of P150,000 for the first year P225,000 for the second year and P337,500 for the third year. With Smart-Gilas, knowing the generosity of Mr. Pangilinan, chances are they will match what was offered by the PBA,” said Alvarez.

If this happens, he said, Aguilar could receive a “double” salary.

“That means in the first year, he will be able to get P300,000 in the first year, P150,000 on the second year and then in the third year it’s close to P700,000. So multiply that [to Aguilar’s potential number of playing years], it will be just about P60 million,” said Alvarez.
