According to Robert Non, all player contracts will be absorbed by phoenix. The question is what happens to Banal and the coaching staff.

Since Phoenix will be buying the franchise of Barako Bull, any suggestions on the possible monicker of the team?

I'll go first, Phoenix Petroleum Oilers.

After buying the Barako franchise, Phoenix won't have any concessions with regard to elevation of amateur players or draft picks. They simply retained the lineup and all other assets that Barako currently possesses. Barako lost their first round pick next season via the Ginebra trade but I'm not sure if they have other draft picks available.

According to sources within SMC, there's no link between Phoenix and the conglomerate. They're considered as competitors of the Petron brand, which means that Petron won't be able to come back to the league unless Phoenix rebrands itself with another name from a different industry or if they disband. It appears that SMB has relented and will retain its flagship brand from hereon.

However, how Phoenix will act as a PBA team is still a question. Will they be an independent team like ROS or Alaska? Will they take risks and give up marquee players and draft picks in order to make themselves immediately competitive, just like Mahindra and Blackwater? If so, what team or teams will they be dealing with most often? It's not like Phoenix is an incompetent team at this stage because they have enough in their roster to make it to the QF round at least. But if there are prior arrangements that Phoenix made with Barako regarding trading this player to another team, we still don't know.

Let's wait for developments. I'd like to think (hoping actually) that they would be independent and build their team accordingly. It doesn't matter if they give up picks along the way, so long as they get quality players in return that can make them stronger in the short term. But they may be perceived as independent if they opt to build their team the ROS way - not easy and definitely longer in tenure, but at least, they won't be accused of being farm teams of other PBA squads.

Magkaka alaman lang talaga dito sa bagong Management kapag naka secure sila ng high end pick and if they will use it or ibibigay pa rin sa SMB group, since remember me PETRON ang SMB kaya hindi sila basta basta papayag, malamang merong side agreement? I hope not, para naman gumanda ganda ang laban hindi puro SMB lang nakikita natin sa finals,
