If given a chance better to choose that route, they know by fact that the managements are not aiming to win a title or even become a competitive squad, having another offer like that may be the best option to continue with their passions.

Unfortunately we only have one league in the Philippines that pays well, so their best opportunity is to improve and have a chance to play overseas. It's just sad that it seems like PBA has now becoming a training ground only and good that bastketball leagues in Asia are getting Filipino imports, Japan and Korea is very consistent on this.

Converge is not gonna win a title I guess, it's too early for this team to become a trash team as it's not even 5 years yet before they were acquired from Alaska and now they are already showing their true colors.

That's very sad, and unfortunately if there's a player that will likely get a contract overseas, it should be coming from a great team, not a farm team. Top players in a farm team are likely already being acquired to a strong team, they are just making sure that a certain player/s would develop his skills before getting sign or traded in giant teams like SMB and TNT. There was a rumor that Justin Arana will be acquired by Ginebra, that's a success for him, but bad for the team and the players that will be left.

That's the real destination, unless the player got exemptional talent that they've develop overtime, they can pick to play overseas but before that, they will be in the monitoring sight by these two big franchise who control the league, before they can get the offer abroad they might be traded either with SMC or MVP group of company where we all know that each players who are in these two giant competing companies got a better compensations and very decent security from their contracts.

They might choose to stay and play with the PBA if either MVP or SMC will offer them a contract, no need to go out of the country just continue playing great and have all the luxuries that you deserves.

That was not the case for Bollick, he never played with SMB or TNT. He was able to play abroad but decided to come back since his wife was pregnant an now playing like an import with the NLEX. Also, there was Matthew Wright that was playing with Fuel Masters but now playing in Japan, and Ravena as well. So its not necessary for them to play with the giant teams before they will catch the attention of the overseas leagues because if they have talent, they'll be invited to play.
