launchpad Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 i think banning a player isnt really a way of working it out. madami naman dyan na players draft ng teams pero they dont really sign them some much worst only gets 1 year or even iilan conference lang. maybe im wrong pero if you got drafted and you dnt want to sign pan ba yun? mali naman ata ung sabi na amin ka na kse draft ka namin so you should sign the contract ? feeling ko lang its life, malas lang ng BK na ung kinuha nilang player e mentally hindi pa alam ang gusto sa buhay.

dencio Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Asar lang ang BK dahil kung baga iniwan sila sa altar. Pabayaan na nila maglaro si Japeth sa Smart! As long as the team holds his draft and signing rights, sa kanila pa rin naman babalik si Japeth if things don't pan out for him internationally. Quote Link to comment
pajac24 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 ikinumpara pa sa nba, pba is different from nba, the david robinson case is different from japeth's case, in the us, citizen are required to serve in the armed forces for a certain period of time, eh kay japeth nagdalawang isip lang siya eh hehehe being a patriotic is good , but being committed to play for a certain team is another case, he just have to honor the commitment to play in the pba, ang hirap kasi pakialamero yung sri lankan na si ronnie nathanielsz, go back to your country, dapat nagtanong na muna si japeth, since papayagan naman pala siyang maglaro sa smart gilas kapag off season, hirap kasi ang daming bumubulong sa bata hehehe Quote Link to comment
junix Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 ^^ Here is my take on this: The dream of young Japeth is NOT to play for the PBA. It has never been his ambition. He has set his sights a little higher than most Filipino hoopster. He wants to play for the NBA. And he is young enough to, maybe, take another stab at it. And how does one get to be drafted by an NBA team? Aside from being drafted straight from an American college? That is being SCOUTED playing well for your national team. Yao Ming, Haddadi, etc., have all gone this route. Japeth, figures, this is his one chance too. And playing for flag and country, while chasing your own dream, ain't so bad as far side-effects go. nice observation...but then, like chief megalodon stated, smart-gilas must have to do good in the international arena...and that is to qualify for the olympics or the world cup. that is where the big stage is. the sea games or the asiad will not bring japeth anywhere.

tagalupa Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 GUIAO BELIEVES JAPETH GETTING BAD ADVICE BURGER King coach Yeng Guiao is as puzzled as everyone else on why Japeth Aguilar has had a change of heart. The grizzled mentor can only arrive at one conclusion. “I think he (Aguilar) is getting bad advice,” he said. Otherwise, Guiao reasoned, why would a player he gambled on for inclusion in the Powerade-Team Pilipinas, made the top pick overall in the draft and set to be the cornerstone of the Whoppers is turning his back on a coveted PBA stint and now has his sights allegedly trained elsewhere? “I think it’s a case of wanting too much too soon,” Guiao went on. “Maybe ang expectations nila (Aguilar camp) napakataas, na hindi pa naman kaya ng bata. Kaya nga sinabi kong he will be the next dominant big man dahil he hasn’t earned the full title yet. He’s still a work in progress.” Guiao is still hoping the 22-year-old Aguilar will ultimately change his mind once again and report to the Whoppers in time for the new PBA season that unfolds Oct. 11. “We’re still awaiting their decision. Kami hintay lang until they come to (definitely) make up their minds.” The Pampanga vice-governor has, however, started to brace for the worst and that’s where regret starts setting in. “Siyempre, malaking epekto because we’ll miss our first pick. Malaking kasayangan ‘yun. Pero tingin ko naman, we can survive. But the problem is the missed opportunity. Malaking setback ‘yung wala siya.,” he explained. In a statement issued last Saturday, the 6-foot-9 Aguilar said he wants to play and help the Smart-Gilas team gearing up for the Asian Games next year and the 2011 FIBA-Asia qualifier for the 2012 London Olympics. Guiao, who will now run for Pampanga governor in the coming elections, is puzzled by this need to further help out the Smart-Gilas team when Aguilar has already had his chances with Powerade-Team Pilipinas in both the Jones Cup and FIBA-Asia in Tianjin, China. Further, the cager has already turned down an earlier offer to play for the team being handled by Serbian mentor Rajko Toroman. “He should have laid bare his intention of playing for Smart-Gilas before the (PBA) draft (last Aug. 2),” said Guiao. What galls at Guiao is the fact he took a big risk by including Aguilar in his final lineup for the Asian joust, bumping off former RP Team mainstay Ranidel de Ocampo in the process. “I staked my reputation and credibility on him without the benefit of having seen him play,” fumed Guiao. “Nawalan ng slot si Ranidel. “A veteran like Ranidel inilagay natin sa reserve para lang ma-experience niya (Aguilar) ang international competition. Now they’re saying I am not looking after his interest.” Guiao also reacted to reports Aguilar’s change of heart was brought about by the limited minutes the player had in Tianjin. “Nagamit naman siya actually, pero alam naman natin ang capability niya, na medyo hilaw pa siya,” Guiao explained. “Isa pa, napakalaking kaibahan ang playing time niya with the national team at ang makukuha niya sa Burger King.” Guiao also bared Aguilar’s playing time was restricted by a fever he contracted while in Tianjin, a fact the RP delegation kept secret for fear Aguilar and the entire team could be quarantined by the illness-conscious organizers. “Pero ang bottom line, he should be thankful, being the youngest and only amateur in our team. Hindi alam ng ilang players kung gaano kalaking privilege ang makapaglaro sa national team at nagkaroon siya nu’n.” Guiao also feels disappointment, too, borne by the last conversation he and Aguilar had at the driveway of the Centennial Airport right after their arrival from China last Aug. 18. “Tinanong pa niya ko kung kailan daw start ng practice niya with Burger King. Sabi ko, Lunes. Hindi na sumipot. Ngayon I’ve been calling him pero hindi na niya ko sinasagot,” related Guiao. “Ang masakit nu’n, he changed his mind without even consulting me. Wala naman siyang kahit one word of complaint na sinabi sa akin in the close to one month we were together with the (Powerade) team,” added Guiao. “I think he’s getting bad advice,” Guiao reiterated, “but he should be answerable for the statements na lumalabas, dahil iyun ang inilalagay sa bibig Quote Link to comment
kleptome Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Talaga asar ang BK sir and u cant blame them..Kung alam lang nila na ganun gagawin ni JA sana si Rico na lang ang kinuha nila and nde nila bibigay si Arwind.. Hindi pede pagsabayin nya ang SMART GILAS and BK...Nagpadraft cia and honor nya un commitment nya sa BK...Hindi basta basta problema ang iniwan nya sa BK and PBA... 100% exact sentiments. My vote: Banned for life sa PBA. GUIAO BELIEVES JAPETH GETTING BAD ADVICE I feel for Guiao. isipin mo ikaw ang coach and you took the 1st pick and is setting your eyes on winning the All Filipino Conf then bigla na lang humina team dahil sa pagrefuse ng Top Pick to honor his duty. Which makes me think now, Mas naging malaking tulong siguro si Ranidel sa Powerade Team kung siya na lang ang pinalaro in lieu of Japeth. Japeth Aguilar is no different from CABAGNOT! Masyadong nagpaimportante di pa man nakakapaglaro sa PBA. :thumbsdownsmiley: Edited August 31, 2009 by kleptome Quote Link to comment

munchkins and donuts Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Japhet talks bullshit... he kept on blabbing about playing for flag and country when in fact there was his and his inarte moments in donning the national colors. I think his father eats bullshit just the same, bloated egos and all just because japhet didn't get his minutes. Japhet has not proven anything, regardless of how many holes he bore in the bench of Western Kentucky. All hype yet even in the status to deserve hype. Alvarez wins in all angles... it's not just business, its professionalis... pak that Sri Lankan asskisser named Ronnie too! Quote Link to comment
peithe Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 We all could only speculate what really transpired why suddendly Japeth had a change of heart ... whatever the main reason was only one thing remains certain... This is not for FLAG and COUNTRY as their press release states. If Japeth really wanted to play for the Gilas team / Country he would have not joined the PBA draft. As it is, his initial action can only refute what he is saying now. I suspect, it has something to do with MONEY MATTERS. We all know that there is a standard salary scale for rookies. However, these players can get "EXTRA PERKS" which would essentially raise his total package (financial + non financial perks). Am sure we've heard that during the time of Paras, he was given the max salary + a Shell franchise. Most San Miguel top players of the past and present also have a SMC dealership ... Calma. Fernandez. ildefonso to name a few. As for Burger King, they are just like crying babies ... at this point considering Japeth have not signed a contract they have no legal basis to hold against him. What they currently own is his draft rights. In the NBA, if a player drafted can't agree on a contract with his mother team and forego playing with any other team for a year he can re-apply for the draft. Am not sure what the PBA has on its rules as to such case but seems like there is none at the moment thus BK is lobbying to the office of the commissioner for proper sanctions. Well dito natin makikita ang palabra de honor ni Japeth ... if he really meant what he says and that is to play for the RP team then no matter what sanctions would be imposed on him by the PBA for turning his back then he should stick by what he said. Otherwise, mukahang pera-pera na naman ito. 4 Quote Link to comment
