While there are no confirmations that Ginebra will not retain most of its star players, fans can't help but speculate that Ginebra will parade several new players in its fold. My source from Ginebra confirms that almost all of the Ginebra players have expiring contracts. What is more telling is that the players were all told to go on a vacation for a month. My source tells me that negotiations with the players will occur not earlier than the draft. Players were told to report back on the day of the draft.
This piece of news somehow foreshadows the impending changes in the line-up of Ginebra. And the changes will be big enough to create a new look for the team. Two of Ginebra's superstar players have categorically said that they will retire once they are traded to other teams. These two players remain the solid pillars of Ginebra. They define Ginebra. Can Ginebra afford to lose its two biggest draws ? I have the funny feeling that the fans will greatly determine the fate of these two Ginebra players. Ginebra management will be forced listen to what the fans want.
I certainly agree on your last statement, the management should realize that those two superstars are the heart and soul of Ginebra.It aint like a LeBron issue, those two wants to end their careers in a Ginebra uniform. Every basketball fan/Ginebra fan knew what the management should do, it's not the players , it's the coaching staff....

Ginebra cannot afford to lose their superstars but certainly can fully afford to lose their current coaching staff. It's a big mistake letting them handle AGAIN such a great and strong team like the Gin Kings. They (management) have to listen to the fans. After all, they owe too much to the fans who supported them since the days of Senator Jaworski. Jong's attitude towards the game does not fit to the entire team. Fire Jong and his assistants and let them coach a collegiate team.
