Calvin Abueva few more steps away from getting ban lifted - PBA CHIEF

I'm not sure though what's that "few" really means or how long it will be. More importantly, it's progressing and surely Abueva will come back.

PBA must give him another chance even for last time. If he will become arrogant again on the court, then he's done.

Reading Marcial's statement about the process that Abueva goes through...

“He knows this since the start that he has to do this before he can get back. Calvin and I had an agreement that I won’t publicly say what he’ll do and it’s up to him if he wants to come out publicly with what we want him to do.”

.. makes me think that why Abueva's wife told at the interview that PBA must publicly show how the process is done (meaning she didn't know what else need to be done for the ban to be lifted) if in the first place his husband knows it all from the start.

It's not all the time that Abueva hit an opponent, it's just this one and its really big since there is an import involve, the PBA are just showing they are not tolerating it but if that happen to a Filipino player, I believe Abueva is already playing now. His style is really dirty so no doubt some people would hate him but that's his style and that's where he is effective destroying the offense of a player he is guarding.

I haven't find any information regarding your query, but he was ban before when he was still playing with the Alaska Aces but he is getting his salary while he is serving the suspension, but with a fine. https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/06/24/18/pba-suspended-abueva-still-receiving-salary-from-alaska

The fact that the wife is complaining about the need of money to support the family, I am not sure if Abueva was still receiving a salary.

I get it, the wife is asking but the tone seems to be complaining for me.

When Castro says, he means it, but that remains to be seen though.
Erram was really that impressive with NLEX therefore he needs to work harder to give his team now a good chance for the all Filipino cup.
AFAIR, TNT is not really a good in ALL Filipino Cup but since they have Ray Parks now, it could be different.

by the way, 5 days to go before the new conference will commence. https://www.pba.ph/

The good thing with Erram aside from being a good big men he can also give way for Troy Rosario to focus offensively, with both Castro and Pogoy
from your front having a good center to lean on probably gives them much higher confidence to shoot.
Everything will conclude after the team performs this conference,. 

Exactly, every team now are hoping to land stand but will NP trade him without getting a good exchange.
TNT would be good with C Stand because he is smart and his experience in international games would really help, hopefully one day it would be possible.

Definitely, but isn't it right to try a new head coach, maybe the problem is not on the players but the coaching staff, Romeo and Pringle were the superstars of the PBA and yet they struggle to compete to good teams during their stay with the Northport and look at these two now, they are so valuable in their respective team.

Both players used their brains not to stay with NP, the management almost have the selections back then where NP reached the semis and played against Alaska. After losing the series NP just came out nothing and just keep doing the same thing over and over. They've need to step up and bring something new to this league.

I believed not with the coach but the management itself. Northport failed to surround these two with good supporting role players. Unlike today, Romeo is having a good teammate, well that's SMB, which is already a strong* team before he came and Pringle on the other hand, with the BGSM, which also one of the best team in the league.

They reached the Semis last Governor's Cup also because of the big production by their import. But you know, they really struggle at that conference. Even with a good offensive power coming from their import and you can bet on CStand will do his best on the defense, still, they are lacking support.

Honestly, NorthPort before does have the best players in the league right now. If only they maintained it and successfully surround these players with role players, which also I mentioned above, maybe they are one of the most dominant teams today. Still hoping that other franchises outside San Miguel will finally rise on top to make PBA more competitive.
