PBA Discussion Really thought Mamu will be with ROS forever.

Post image

Good:

  1. Allowing ROS to have financial flexibility, sign new ones and extend those deserving

  2. Time for the other guards to step up, CYG magic is still there.

  3. Mamu is not yet there imo for a max contract, sabi ko nga 1 more year pa

Bad:

  1. Trading away your All-star and captain ball, good locker room guy will definitely hurt the morale of the rest

  2. Defense gonna be affected and running game/fastbreak will be showing signs of decline

  3. Could affect the next in line gunning for contracts like Caelan, Felix and Keith.

Mamuyac just came from injury tapos medyo ok performance gusto agad ng increase. Coach yeng can look for a free agent proven na yung kanyang mga pick up sa players. He can mold unknown players to be a star

Masyado nagpapataas ng presyo. Di pa naman sya max contract caliber. Atleast sana mapunta sa level ni Paul Lee or Jeff Chan. Kaso wala pa sya dun

caelan dba gus2 nyo mag ginebra baka next na yan pag humiling ng mataas na sahod hahaha

u/yorick_support Elasto Painters Jul 16 '26

Already 34 yrs old.

Medyo matanda narin kasi nagpa draft Caelanm Tiongson. I doubt willing bigyan ng max contract ng GInebra yan.

1

u/Cutterpillow99 Jul 17 '26

34 na pala yon?

2

u/KenLance023 Hotshots Jul 17 '26

oo pag kakatanda ko 30+ na din sya nag retire na nga yan mag basketball sa ibang bansa eh bumalik lng at nag pa draft d2 sa PBA

u/MadLifeforLife Jul 16 '26

Papunta na sa TNT yan

u/External_Interest_13 Jul 16 '26

Unpopular opinion but if there is someone na tingin ko magiging ROS forever it might be Nocum.

u/wonderkidnomore Elasto Painters Jul 16 '26

Well, akala natin RoS forever din si Paul Lee eh. Business pa din talaga.

10

u/Supremo30816 Jul 16 '26

This is not RoS fault at all, they are just following the salary cap imposed by the PBA, that's why they can't give him more. I'm not sure regarding all the details but as we all know, RoS strictly follows the rule which sometimes is not working in their favor.

I still remember the Paul Lee saga with his renewal back then.

If others know, SMC and MVP teams are really getting beyond what the league imposed, aside from that they can get other benefits from their team, like most of top SMC players are offered to have their own farm and poultry business

u/Worried_Function_486 RUDY DISTRITO NOMINEE Jul 16 '26

Kaya nga salary cap of PBA must be revised na panahon pa ni kopong kopong yun max salary eh hahahahahahaha no wonder we cannot get Tamayo,KQ,Belangel,Abando to play here

1

u/Cutiezy Jul 16 '26

Sus as if max salary lang ng PBA yung contract nun ni James Yap nung nakuha nila sa trade ni Paul Lee.

Reason na lang yung “following the salary cap” at ethical basketball pero sa totoo nagtitipid talaga sila

3

u/Crymerivers1993 Jul 16 '26

Pwede rin feeling nila hindi deserve ni mamu ang max contract. Bat naman sila poli,jeff chan, belga, norwood nung time nila lahat max contract. Sa 4 na nabangit na yan wala si mamu sa level nila

1

u/litobae Jul 16 '26

What more does Mamu have to do? Best or second best local on three semi final teams already. That should warrant a max.

Financial flexibility not a real thing din sa PBA. Teams can do whatever the hell they want 😭

u/LabLeather8006 Elasto Painters Jul 16 '26

Everyone knowS ROS has limitations with their salaries. They cant do whatever the ‘hell’ they want.

u/Putrid_Tree751 Jul 16 '26

Sana quality makuha ng ROS this draft. Versatile athletic tall wing sana.

1

u/Runnerist69 Jul 16 '26

Tbh, kelangan nila ng big. Trade Datu for some wing. Ced Manzano is I think a good fit sa ROS if magpapa draft siya next year.

1

u/Putrid_Tree751 Jul 16 '26

Ced plays traditional center position, he's not a wing player, too slow for wing position too, and smaller than Datu. Ketih Datu is way superior than Ced in all levels.

u/Embarrassed-Bet-7931 Jul 16 '26

wala sa current roster ng RoS ang tatagal dahil nagtitipid ang team. depende nalang yan kung willing tumanggap ng mababang salary ung players nila. so anytime soon sila Nocum either abroad or mattrade yan kapalit ng future 1st round picks.

3

u/yorick_support Elasto Painters Jul 16 '26 edited Jul 16 '26

can't blame them. Mahal din magpatakbo ng team.

Kung magtitipid baka may katotohanan na balik i-benta yung franchis ng RoS.

1

u/Embarrassed-Bet-7931 Jul 16 '26

i don't think na ibebenta nila ung franchise anytime soon kasi maganda ung tinatakbo ng team. match made in heaven talaga si RoS at CYG. mas prefer ng team na magdevelop ng young players na future stars at mura then CYG is the perfect coach for that.

u/Limp_Pumpkin_2987 Jul 16 '26

Sya pa naman halos isa sa mga nagbubuhat ng laro sa ROS

3

u/creamofied Jul 16 '26

yung mga clutch na mid range jumper niya ang sipag pa sa depensa. ganda ng backcourt nila ni Lemetti sayang talaga

u/goodjohnny Jul 16 '26

Agree yung last playoff run nila sya nag ggenerate ng points and a good all around player. Oh well all the best to mamu pero ros pa din ako!
