I am set to call Samboy Lim to confirm any changes in the line-up of Ginebra. The recent benching of a superstar player and the excess of point guards indicate probable changes in Ginebra's line-up. But I was also informed that line-up changes will most probably take place after the draft in August. Ginebra has a draft pick which it can use to trade its player with.
In my opinion, Ginebra's present line-up is enough to win championships. It is just a matter of harnessing each player to give his best in every game. I am sure the entry of Miller somehow affected its resident superstars, Jayjay Helterbrand and Mark Caguioa. Unlike before where the two would have complete control over Ginebra's game, Miller's entry somehow diluted their dominance over Ginebra. After all, Willie Miller is a two-time MVP in the PBA and has proven himself to be one of the best players in the league. Add to the fact that Miller's entry diminshed the playing minutes of both Helterbrand and Caguioa. It is but natural that both Mark and Jayjay entertain thoughts that Ginebra's management might not be too happy with their performances lately which called for the acquisition of Willie Miller.
If hurt feelings among players are addressed effectively, I don't see any reason why Ginebra will not be able to get back to fighting form in the next conference. I sincerely hope that management keeps Ginebra's line-up intact. Without a doubt, Ginebra is the most popular team in the league mainly because of its players. It just wouldn't be the same should a player or two leave the team.
