I heard this news as well, apparently, he wants to come back. I think it's okay if he'll come back as they really need him now, they are already undermanned so they'll struggle more going forward. I have a question, if ever the TNT management and Mikey Williams would agree, can Mikey still play at the current season?

TNT already lose their import, if they can't replace him then no chance they'll pass the first round (quarter finals), however, with Mikey Williams, that will make the series more interesting to watch.

That's how it is man, Mikey were able to play his card well, so he won. I would not even be surprise if TNT sign him with a good contract because it seems like the Mikey benefited on the current situation of TNT where they lose some star players, especially the import.

Once a contract is signed, we can pressume it's short term, it should be a long term like other standard contract in the PBA.



I don't know, but I have a feeling that they don't want to waste the talent of Mikey, and they believe he is very vital for the team's success, that's why they are gambling, talking to him and maybe sign him soon.

I still remember though when Mikey Williams first entered in the PBA, he already help TNT to win a championship. Before, during the All Filipino Cup, it's always the SMB who are dominating, but with Mikey Williams playing with TNT, their team gets better because their threat on offense have improve.

Mikey Williams, Pogoy, and Jason Castro, they are their big 3 I guess and they are really good playing together.

Now, with the discovery of Calvin Oftana having a star player quality, they'll become a tough team to crack, so it's a great move for TNT, as that's how business to be done, interest of the team over anything else should be prioritize.

Since there's no thread for this post,please allow me to post it here since he is our own.

Let's pray for Rhenz Abando who had a bad fall and injured badly, hopefully he will recover soon and his game will not be affected.

Rhenz Abando suffers multiple spinal fractures, concussion in bad fall

I watch the highlights but I didn't finish because I can't take it, but as I read on the comments it was really bad because he was taken through emergency stretchers.

That was very unfortunate for him. I saw the highlights and there's some commentators saying that it was intentionally pushed by Chinanu Onuaku but refs says otherwise. I think Chinanu Onuaku was already fined with that but the amount of fined is not even significant enough, I think there's a need to investigate for this because if Chinanu Onuaku was really guilty fine is not anymore, he has to be suspended or even ban from the league.

Hopefully he will be able to recover soon, I believe he will have a fast recovery because he is still young.

I see him being one of the greatest shooter, but he doesn't have the capability of Scottie who could grab defensive rebounds due to his quickness. Oftana had the height, so it's hard to stop him when he is driving the ball, and with his high percentage 3 point shooting, that's another thing that will  make him scary to his opponents.

Too early though, but we have to be optimistic with this guy, they aren't building anyone better than him, so it's safe to say that TNT wants him to be their best player in the future. Castro may retire soon, they'll be needing a good PG too, I don't know if Mikey Williams would fit on the role, bu t hopefully he win and would learn how to facilitate the ball well.

Yeah with the absences of both Poguy and Williams they need someone to step up for them and Oftana really show up take that spot, I think coach Jolas knew that he can use him as his main man after the import, so far even they are not the same squad as we know them they are trying to work things out and maximizing everyone that available to help in each games that they are playing, win or lose they are still competing.

Indeed it's a good news. I hope he has fully recovered from injury so we can see the same JMF before the injury happened.

They really need him because elimination game or a best of 3 game is different from the regular season game, so it's good for SMB. Now I can say that they have a legit chance of winning a championship.

Anyways, PBA will be resuming this friday with the following games.

First game Bossing vs Northport
2nd game Rain or shine vs TNT

Game starts at 4;00 PM

Doubt that to happen since even if he's back still for sure that he's not in 100% condition so provably there's minutes restriction and they will not gamble to play more harder since its a huge loss for his team if he gets injured again.

So I expect that he will not play the same for couple of games but once he feels that everything is alright again for sure we can see a classic Fajardo dominating the floor again.

They really need him on elimination that's why they need to be more careful on him so that they can possibly get back his 100% health and get the best result since his contribution is really huge since he can dominate the floor also can do a lot of things which their team can benefit on.
