Two PBA teams soon to become ‘sisters’?

BLIND ITEM 1: While covering a 2017-2018 PBA Philippine Cup game recently, we heard from the grapevine that the two competing teams that time will soon be sister teams.

A source told Buzzer Beater that Team 1 is currently negotiating with Team 2 to acquire not just its PBA franchise but also its company here in the Philippines.

“Actually malapit nang magkasundo iyong dalawang kampo about diyan sa bentahan na iyan. As early as January, 2018 ma–fo-formalize na ang bentahan,” the source said.

Once the deal is formalized, it will become the third sister group in the league aside from the San Miguel Corp. group and the Manny Pangilinan faction.

“I think, once the deal is signed, sealed and delivered, it will also be good for Team 2, especially with the way it is being handled by its management now,” the source said.

“Naisip lang siguro ng bossing ni Team 1, wala silang gagasolinahan kaya kailangan nila ng sasakyan. Kaya pasok na pasok sa banga ang pagiging sister teams nila.”

Blind item 2: While the supporters of a collegiate basketball team are rejoicing over reports of having a new head coach, members of the team still does not want to believe unless the head coach formally starts his training with the team.

“It is hard to say right now kung sure na or hindi,” a team insider told the Buzzer Beater. “Unless makita namin siyang pumasok sa school at mag-start ng training niya, haka-haka lang iyan.”

The source added that the said coach has relayed his desire to move to the school weeks earlier but had a change of heart after talking to the big boss from his previous school before expressing again his desire to move.

“Nitong ilang linggo lang nakailang palit na iyan ng isip. Noong una sabi niya lilipat na siya dito, tapos noong lapitan siya noong big boss sabi niya stay siya uli roon, tapos eto na naman lilipat na naman siya sa amin,” said the source.

“Mahirap pa ring maniwala lalo na at plano na naman siyang kausapin ng big boss noong dati niyang school next week. Baka magbago na naman ang isip niya – lalo na kung may magandang offer na naman. Kaya ayoko muna bilhin iyang mga tsismis na iyan. Ayoko!!!”/PN
