Burger King hopes for Japeth’s change of heart
Burger King hopes for Japeth’s change of heart By WAYLON GALVEZ

Lito Alvarez, the incoming PBA board chairman and Burger King representative, said Saturday that he’s still hoping that Japeth Aguilar will reconsider his decision and play for the Whopper in next month’s 35th Season of the pro league.

“We’re hoping na magbabago siya ng isip,” Alvarez said Friday night, adding that he cancelled plans for a special meeting with the board to discuss the issue on Aguilar.

Late last month, Alvarez was open with the idea of sanctioning the 6-foot-10 Aguilar with a “lifetime ban” for refusing to sign with Burger King, which tabbed him as the top overall pick in the recent PBA Rookie Draft.

The Whopper have offered the 22-year-old Aguilar the maximum allowable deal for a PBA rookie approximately worth P8.7 million for three years, but the former Ateneo stalwart said he will instead play for the Smart-Gilas national team.

The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP)-backed Gilas had a previous offer to Aguilar similar to the BK offer, which he turned down last April during a training camp in Las Vegas.

Aguilar’s agent, sportswriter Ronnie Nathanielz said that they have yet to open negotiations with the SBP, saying that they would rather settle first the issue with the PBA and Burger King, although he mentioned he expects to be presented with the same offer.

Despite Aguilar’s pronouncement last Aug. 31 in a press briefing prior to his departure for the US for a two-week vacation that his decision to play for Gilas is final, Alvarez said that Burger King is not losing hope.

“What we’re offering him is the best for both worlds. He can play in the PBA and still be with the national team (on loan),” Alvarez said.

Aguilar visited his parents Peter, an ex-pro, and Josephine in Chicago, Illinois and he is expected to further consult them with his decision.


Wow.. after all have been said and done.. BK is still waiting for japeth.. this is were you can see the true value of a japeth aguilar..

PBA: We're not involved with Japeth
THE GAME OF MY LIFE By Bill Velasco (The Philippine Star) Updated September 07, 2009 12:00 AM

The Philippine Basketball Association is not involved with any of the current situations revolving around number one draft pick Japeth Aguilar. This was clarified by PBA commissioner Sonny Barrios in an interview with this writer on the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) program Hardball Friday night.

“We’re not really involved until the team and player sign a contract that is forwarded to us, or there is a disagreement that is brought to us to be resolved,” explained Barrios. “That’s the only time we come in.”

Barrios also clarified that, since there has been no contract signed between Aguilar and Burger King, the PBA is not technically involved.

The good news is that teams have until right before the start of their opening games in the upcoming All-Filipino Cup to submit their final lineups. So hypothetically, there is still an opening for Aguilar to join the team that drafted him. For the meantime, the PBA, through new chairman and Burger King owner Lito Alvarez, is issuing no further statements on the matter. Besides, Aguilar is in the US with his family and fiancee Jessica Magley, and will return on the 17th.

“As of now, chairman Alvarez has said for the PBA to just let the issue cool down,” Barrios clarified. “There’s still plenty of time, and Japeth isn’t here anyway.”

Aguilar has expressed a strong desire to play with the SMART-Gilas developmental team, instead, partly because of what he feels he can learn from coach Rajko Toroman, and partly because he will be with players his own age, like former Ateneo teammate and close friend Chris Tiu. However, no deal has been struck with SMART-GIlas, either.

In fact, a top executive of SMART expressed irritation over the apparent indecisiveness of Japeth’s father, Peter, over what they really want in their contract. Other PBA teams have also adopted a hands-off policy on Aguilar, so as not to further muddle the issue.

The SMART-Gilas team, meanwhile, will play in the All-Filipino Conference which opens Oct. 11. The developmental team will play only in the elimination round, but its games will count against the regular PBA teams, so they’ll take the games seriously. SMART-Gilas will also be allowed to field CJ Giles.

“If in case the SMART-Gilas team has to leave to represent the country or play in tournaments, then we will only count one game each in the standings of the PBA member teams,” Barrios added. “It’s going to be a long conference. If the finals go all the way to seven games, we’ll open again in less than two weeks.”

Barrios also elaborated on why the PBA has not really announced a formal commitment to forming a national team. He said it is the responsibility of the national sports association (in this case, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas) to formulate a program. Since 1990, the PBA has been supporting the national basketball program because it was approached by the NSA. At the same time, it is more difficult for the PBA to form a full-time national team, unlike in the NBA.

“First of all, their pool is much bigger,” Barrios said. “And they play eight months of the year. We play 10 months. So the two-month window is the healing period of our players.”

As a final point, Barrios clarified the salary cap issue that seems to be plaguing some teams like Sta. Lucia Realty, but not a talent-laden team like San Miguel Beer.

“It really depends on the players who you have on your active roster,” the commissioner adds. “For example, in the case of San Miguel, it so happened that a lot of their best players get injured at the same time. At the same time, they also don’t want to let an opportunity pass by. If a good player like Denok Miranda is available, then they will get him.”
