PBA Expansion: what team(s) should be accepted?

[Gunnar]

I just hope the Gokongwei's would come back to the PBA. Their brands would definitely need those advertising mileage.

ICTSI would be a nice option but I don't think Enrique Razon is interested. Of course, here's another potential company with FG interest but then, which company didn't flourish during the GMA Administration where FG didn't have a stake in?

Razon seems more bent on supporting other sports, particularly golf. There's a major tournament in the Philippines sponsored by ICTSI, and I believe they also supported the likes of golfers Frankie Minoza and Juvic Pagunsan.

And since ICTSI isn't exactly a consumber-based company, advertising mileage derived from the PBA may not be as relevant to them compared to other possible marketing endeavors.

ICTSI did compete in the PBL. They supported the La Salle team. But you're right, Jay. The Razon-owned firm is not a consumer-based company so it would not even think of joining the PBA.

When I mentioned ICT, i meant about the port business...

^Uu nga sana magkaroon na ng team ang SM. Labanan na ng mga malalaking kumpanya to! Sana sana.

sana nga para hindi NU ang kanilang ginagawang pro team...

[anino83]

kahit ang RFM franchise man lang sana bumalik..

[twelvedozen]

LIMIT the ownership of 1 COMPANY. max 3 sister teams only. or if possible 2. To reduce the bias game.

[Drahow ein Ente]

ganyan na ang kalakaran di ba?

sa for SM owning a PBA team, that still won't stop them managing NU as a pro team. case in point: ateneo, and next year, DLSU.

Gusto ko nga bumalik sila sa PBA. Gamitin nila yung dati name nila na Sunkist Orange Juicers

Cebuana Lhuilliers Gems
NLEX Road Warriors ( 3rd MVP team)
SM Megamallers

Ok na yung 14 PBA Teams. Saka every 2 years eh magdagdag sila. The more the merrier.

[Tomasaiyan]

Jollibee
Metrobank

[mikesoliven]

Jollibee 39ers!

[kabakab]

Cebu Pacific (Delayed)Pilots!

[ventrilokwist]

Harbour Center. SM.

[James Ty III]

Harbour Center. SM.

Harbour is rumored to be buying the Powerade franchise.

[retriever]

Yung brand ng kotse like Nissan para sumikat ulit mga kotse nila or yung Hyundai since malakas ang sales nila ngayon. Pwede rin Nokia, Myphone etc.

Hopefully:

NLEX - taking the core of their D-League team
Phoenix - Dispersal Draft

wishful thinking

NLEX is strong enough to be in the PBA. Pero MVP will now have 3 teams in the league.

Phoenix, puwede pa. They can buy either Alaska or Powerade.

^Uu nga sana magkaroon na ng team ang SM. Labanan na ng mga malalaking kumpanya to! Sana sana.

Kung sakali na sumali si Henry Sy na maglagay ng PBA teams:

Banco de Oro Bankers
SM Hypers
SMDC GoodGuys

[choker001]

sana iakyat na nila yung NLEX na yun kaya mo yan MVP

[kabakab]

Sinubukan na ng Phoenix pumasok, kaya lang meron daw humarang, kaya ayun si Bert Lina na lang ang nakakuha ng slot.

Depends on MVP if he wants a third team. As of now, he is satisfied with 2 PBA teams.
