Yes, the virus could stay forever but it cannot be forever also that there's no cure to it. The situation is just temporary, big pharma will eventually produce a cure of the virus where you just need to take it to feel relieved from the fever, so this vaccine might be useless in the long run. I understand that not everyone gets their vaccine but please, the government should be fair, why not allow also people who do not have a vaccine yet to watch the game if they allowed the PBA to get an audience already.

Anthony is used to be the captain of the NorthPort team so trading him is kinda surprising at least for me but... well we've seen unimaginable trades in the past right . If you know what I mean.

Anyway, the inside defense of NorthPort is stronger now with Manuel plus add Slaughter. One thing more is that Manuel will have more chances to shoot at the perimeter because they have Slaughter to get those offensive rebounds in case he misses. For me, the NorthPort won this trade. The team has a good amount of guards and at the same time, a good amount of players who can defend the paint. Bollick, Ferrer, Malonzo, Manuel, Slaughter. This starting 5 of them is strong already. Lets see how the team will play a few weeks from now still .

Didn't expect this news, I guess it's we will know next conference if Vic Manuel has that power inside to lead a team. Northport always fails to qualify in the playoffs but they are trying to improve their lineup, with this news, I'd say they are on the right track.

Anthony is probably what the Phoenix needs as they don't have someone to help Wright carry the team. Wright's production has also decreased the last conference so the team is affected a lot, with Anthony, this team would certainly be a playoff contender again.

I still have that hope that covid will be easily cured and it won't be a bigger thing just as it was a year ago up to now. If you have already gone out, you'll be seeing children in different establishments and that's why having these PBA matches with audiences soon is very likely.
We just need to wait when will be the next season starts. And I think that there will be too many fans that are just excited to get on the seats of Araneta watching and relaxing at the same time.

According to Harizen, the new conference is likely to start this month, so be more patient as we will eventually witness a conference where imports could finally play. Of course, this is different from the all Filipino cup as it will be more exciting with more production from the imports, probably more high scoring games as these imports could put up good numbers every game.

What's with Alaska players that Phoenix management doesn't like, is it the discipline that was instilled on them while they were playing with Alaska ? 

I'm also surprised with this move by NorthPort as I think that Sean Anthony is one of the pillars of their team but I guess they needed a player who can compliment the style of play of Robert Bolick. On the Phoenix side, I think Sean Anthony's role will be more of a mentor to a lot of the Phoenix's young players because he is not getting young anymore and he's also injury prone so i guess this is one of the few win-win trade of the PBA.

Actually, it's not that Phoenix is better without Vic Manuel but rather, the team doesn't really utilize and use him on his best because maybe of injury or still not in his usual shape. He is playing below his average on Phoenix in the last conference but on the bright side, still a good stats despite not being at 100%.

Regarding the trade, both teams win on that trade. On the NorthPort side, if Slaughter won't be traded, as he's part of the trading rumors, looking forward to their big man tandem with Vic Manuel.


Actually, I refer to how conferences are structured in the PBA.

The usual is, for every fresh start, All-Filipino is the starting conference every year. Since they are planning to have an import, the next conference should be this month or next, as it should happen this year. March is the usual restart of PBA so they still have time for the import conference this year that can last up to 2 months if games will be played mostly at triple headers and every day like they did the last conference.

Yeah, that won't change the fact that covid is still there but the active daily cases on the metro have already dropped and keep on dropping. Hopefully, this is a good sign that we're almost close to going back to our normal lives, and PBA fans can go back again in a socially distancing crowd and will have to cheer their idols and teams again.

Is there a way to see the potential imports for each team?

In the list, I think Justin Brownlee will once again win the best import award. I saw some posts about the statement of Justin Brownlee that he is happy playing in the Philippines and he'll be glad if the PBA will make him their naturalized player so he can help the Philippines represent the country in international competition.
