Barangay Ginebra Kings

NBA veteran Orien Greene's PBA stint ended even before it could begin after getting the cut from Barangay Ginebra, which is set to bring in former Indiana Pacers shooting guard Orlando Johnson in his place.

Ginebra team manager and alternate board governor Alfrancis Chua confirmed the import switch, which came after Greene scored 13 points in Ginebra's 102-83 win over an import-less KIA side in a tune-up over the weekend.

That proved to be the one and only game Greene played with the Gin Kings.

Team insiders said the 33-year-old Greene failed to impress, leaving Ginebra management and the coaching staff led by new coach Frankie Lim with no choice but to find a quick replacement in Johnson.

Selected 36th overall by the Sacramento Kings in the 2012 NBA Draft, Johnson, 26, was immediately traded to the Indiana Pacers where he played 89 career games in two seasons, averaging 3.1 points and 1.8 rebounds.

 

Johnson, who was named the 2010 Big West Player of the Year while playing for UC Santa Barbara, was also a veteran in the NBA D-League where he played for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants and the Austin Spurs.

He also saw action for the Laboral Kutxa in the Spanish league.

Player agent Sheryl Reyes said Johnson will be arriving on Friday, giving him at least a week to work with Ginebra before the team's debut in the Governors Cup on May 8 against Alaska.

Grabe naman mag offer ang Ginebra for Marcio Lassiter of SMB. Puro "one-dimensional", "trigger-happy" and "I-succumb-to-pressure" na sina Baracael at Yeo ang inoffer. Di naman siguro bulag ang SMB kasi kahit magsama pa to, no deal to sa caliber na katulad ni Marcio. Back to the drawing board Ginebra management and settle this mess!

Tune up game vs. Barako...

 

Barako won, 122-118. JAMES FORRESTER 33pts, 7rebs, 8asts, 4stls, 1blk.

 

A sign of things to come?

 

at nagpakita na nga ng kanyang kakayahan. while it was just a tune-up game, we'll be seeing more from james forrester. it was just unfortunate that ginebra had a stupid coach who did not see the potentials of this 4th overall pick :P :lol:

Well, to be fair sa team natin, we didn't have Japeth, Josh, Joseph, Chris, and the new import will not arrive til Friday.

nice game by Forrester! let's see if he can do the same stuff during the actual PBA games... kapag lumabas pa din ang laro nya at top scorer pa siya sa Barako Bull, eh gago talaga si Ato at Cariaso for not handling this guy.
