If you would ask former PBA commissioner Noli Eala, he believes that teams should always aim to win.
Eala said that while teams “will do everything to win,” the league should ensure the fairness of trades amid the controversial pending transaction that will ship Terrafirma star CJ Perez to San Miguel Beer.
“PBA teams will do everything to win. That’s inherent in competition. It’s up to the PBA to ensure the propriety in trades that are supposed to achieve that goal while keeping league integrity,” said Eala through his Twitter account.
The top official of the East Asia Super League is hoping to have the PBA on board for the planned start of its inaugural home-and-away competition later this year.

The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas is refusing to dwell on the lack of PBA players taking part in Gilas Pilipinas’ preparation for next month’s final window of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers.
Only six PBA players are taking part in the ongoing training bubble at the Inspire Sports Academy in Calamba, Laguna, but SBP’s special assistant to the president Ryan Gregorio said he would rather discuss those who accepted the call to suit up for continental qualifiers in Pampanga.
“Let us not discuss the players who are not in the bubble, but rather let us talk about the players who are in the bubble and making huge sacrifices, personally, so that they can serve our flag and country,” Gregorio told former PBA commissioner Noli Eala during the latter’s program “Power and Play.”
