Alaska executive clarifies: We still want Vic Manuel, we offered a two-year deal
Alaska team governor Richard Dickie Bachmann reiterated Vic Manuel s value to the team amid a news report that the veteran forward wants out of the Aces, while also denying that they only offered him a one-year deal.
Responding to a news article that came out of spin.ph on Friday afternoon, Bachman explained they offered Manuel a two-year maximum deal.
The proposed new deal, though, includes a performance clause , which if Manuel can comply with during the season-opening All-Filipino Cup that begins this April, then he automatically secures the second-year maximum deal.

However, I give the Aces the benefit of the doubt for the alleged non-call and would rather believe that the problem here is miscommunication, not the utter lack of it.

There’s a likely scenario that at least one worthy candidate could miss out on a spot in the Mythical Five selection of the PBA Philippine Cup bubble.
That’s because eligible voters are expected to have a difficult time choosing two backcourt players in the Mythical Five which will be given during the virtual PBA Awards Night on Jan. 17.
Two guards and three frontcourt players will compose the Mythical Five under PBA rules.
TNT’s Ray Parks Jr., who topped the Statistical Points race, and teammate RR Pogoy, Barangay Ginebra San Miguel’s Stanley Pringle and Phoenix Super LPG’s Matthew Wright are among the favorites to make Mythical Five.
