Come on now. You do know they will eventually sign Casio.
They are not that stupid, right?yes but why that long? 2 year contract for the number 1 pick? paul lee gets the 3 year contract for a 2nd pick? they acting stupid right now with contract negotiations
if they dont well i smell casio will continue play for gilas after wuhan and probably for sinag team in SEAG.
Yes, stupid. i never disagreed with that. But they will eventually get it.hehe
Also, since the under the table deals are in discussions in recent deals, maybe Casio and Casio's agent wants bonuses for various achievements (semis appearance for Powerade; ROY award and the likes...) you know, maybe both camps are still haggling
On Casio's stint with Gilas. Again, that would be the best case scenario for Casio. That is of course SBP wants to pay him-- remember, they had the chance to extend him before the draft and they never did.
IF THERE IS NO BASKETBALL IN HEAVEN, I AM NOT GOING.
again, product of a wrong and broken system...lee gets the max contract at #2 while casio at #1 is getting less? there should be a rigid salary scale, like how it is in the nba and nfl...Come on now. You do know they will eventually sign Casio.
They are not that stupid, right?
Actually, it's not different. It's the same (as with all first rounders)-- if you are good enough (and well, if your agent can sell you well
However, the PBA can not protect itself from the incompetence of the Powerade management.

My version of PBA Rankings for 37th season (OFF SEASON Edition)
With less than one month, the PBA will open its 37th season this October 2, 2011. All the 10 teams are so busy making their roster to become a force to reckon once the season starts. After the successful PBA 2011 Draft to Coach Tim Cone’s departure from his home for 22 years as a head coach up to the salary cap issues, let me grab this opportunity to rank all the teams on how will they perform this coming season.
TALK N TEXT – They are the defending AFC champion. And they will add Japhet Aguilar to their ultimate roster. Even though some of their players will be playing for the flag, expect this team to roll again and climb the first semi final seat all the way to the finals. And i’m sure Coach Chot Reyes again will don his fashionista attire every game. (Rank: 1)
PETRON BLAZE BOOSTERS – With the return of the Cebuano Hotshot, Dondon Hontiveros, and the welcome addition of Chris Lutz, 3rd pick over all and a Smart Gilas mainstay and center Carlos Sharma, expect a defense oriented PBB will try to win the AFC championship. With their old reliables Arwind Santos, Alex Cabagnot and Danny Ildefonso, they are still one of the team to beat this conference. (Rank: 2)
BMEG LLAMADOS – Their new coach Richard del Rosario, expect the Llamados, especially James Yap to take their time in the Richard del Rosario School of Free Throw shooting. With the impending rumor of Coach Tim Cone will handle the team this commissioner’s cup, Coach Richard will prove that he can carry the team all the way to the finals. The addition of Marc Barroca, this will speed up their game. Expect also Marc’s GF, Ruth, to be one of their muses? I hope so (Rank: 3)
RAIN OR SHINE ELASTO PAINTERS – With Paul Lee, the second over all pick, Gabe Norwood will find a scoring partner this AFC. Expect Coach Yeng Guiao, again, to parade his formidable team and get their position as one of the team in the Finals. (Rank: 4)
BARANGAY GINEBRA GIN KINGS – Jayjay Helterbrand signing 1 conference contract extension, Eric Menk signing 1 year contract and Rudy Hatfield defuses his bomb for good, what would Ginebra going to do this AFC? The never say die team of the PBA won’t answer the question, instead watch them and expect them to be as one of the top contenders this season. Surrounded by guards, we all know the capacity of this team and Coach Siot to deliver their A – game every night. Lone addition is Riel Cervantes, which will replace H-Bomb in his position. (Rank: 5)
ALASKA ACES – This team will be having their new coach after their ex-coach Tim Cone opted to be released in his contract. The new coach, Joel Banal will rely on his Big Three: LA Tenorio, Sonny Thoss and Cyrus Baguio. Still a competitive team with JR Reyes, Tony dela Cruz and new recruits like Mac Baracael, Ariel Mepana, Eric Salamat and Julius Pasculado. If these 4 rookies will be likely sign a deal with the Aces, this will bring youth and athleticism in their team, but if Joel Banal will inject a new system and dont rely on their rookies, they will likely end up in the middle of the standings. (Rank: 6)
MERALCO BOLTS – With their solid roster of Mac Cardona, Asi Taulava and Sol Mercado, expect Ryan Gregorio to rise and shine for the 37th season. Still, very active in this off season, able to get the services of Mark Macapagal, Chico Lanete and Mark Yee, and their pick Jason Ballesteros. Still, this team wants to be visible in the upper deck of the standings. (Rank: 7)
BARAKO BULL (formerly AIR 21) – New Name for Air21. With some issues regarding as the farm team of SMC and MVP teams, still Barako Bull is a very talented team. With Danny Seigle, Willie Miller, Dorian Pena, Paul Artadi and Wynne Arboleda, with their picks Allein Maliksi, Dylan Ababou and Ken Acibar, and returning Salvacion, Hubalde, Pennissi and Tugade, this is a very good team. I hope this team will again surprise us (not as a conduit team) and beat some powerhouse team. Miller and Seigle can still dominate the scoring chores for the team. (Rank: 8)
POWERADE TIGERS – Acquiring the 1st and 4th pick with JV Casio and Marcio Lassiter, both Smart Gilas starters, Powerade will improve their game this season. Before the draft, they acquired Doug Kramer and Josh Vandalingham from Rain or Shine, which bolster their lineup. Don’t expect that both Casio and Lassiter will turn the fortune of this team 360 degrees, it will be a total team effort. (Rank: 9)
SHOPINAS CLICKERS (formerly Barako Bull) – This team is very raw and some of their players is not relative known as offensive threats, I hope that Coach Franz Pumaren will inject his winning traditions and his “bigote charm” to make this team formidable. (Rank: 10)

i'd flip BMEG and Petron and maybe even rank ROS ahead of Petron, which i think way over achieved last conference. (For the season, they'd rank as average)TALK N TEXT – They are the defending AFC champion. And they will add Japhet Aguilar to their ultimate roster. Even though some of their players will be playing for the flag, expect this team to roll again and climb the first semi final seat all the way to the finals. And i’m sure Coach Chot Reyes again will don his fashionista attire every game. (Rank: 1)

Anyway, you better post this at the PBA All Flip Thread i believe this belongs there.
Great try, i'd read the rest of the article when i do find time.

junel baculi is officially the barako coach right?
Sorry if I may ask who's Ruth? Barroca's GF is Russel Anne Alinea.

Yup that's right.

Yup, my bad... sorry for the typos..
i can't believe edwin asoro and gio ciriacruz (both MVP contenders and mythical members during their final years in the UAAP and NCAA respectively) got cut from shopinas while hyram bagatsing and jr aquino are still being considered...whew.
blood is thicker than talent ika nga.
You've got to have it to win it
i understand why asoro was cut. but ciriacruz? hmmmm...interesting. well i think coach franz wants to have players that knows his system than talent...
