Life after the championship series
by Josef RamosSunday, 24 August 2008 (1,491 Views, 69 Comments)
ALMOST a week after the Air21 Express finished first runner-up against newly-crowned Fiesta Conference champion Ginebra Gin Kings, the management has decided to keep the entire core of the team for the 34th PBA Season that will start on October 4, 2008.
Coach Bo Perasol of Air21 told various media people that the management is planning to re-sign all its players who have expiring contracts like Nino KG Canaleta, Homer Se, Gabby Espinas, Ervin Sotto and Egay Billiones to stay intact for the coming Philippine Cup.
The Express, who bowed to Ginebra (4-3) in their best-of-seven finals series in Game 7 at the Big Dome, are planning to improve their center position due to the absence of 6-foot-9 import Steve Thomas who made a promise to return next year as the team’s import again.
“The management told me to keep the team’s core, so I’m very happy with that decision,” said coach Perasol. “It will be easy for me to coach because the players already know my systems. Aside from that, there’s no other way for us next conference but to go up.”
Air21 also owns the two picks in the first round — sixth and eighth — of this month’s Rookie Annual draft next week at the Market! Market! Market! in Taguig City. But since there would be no big man or great talent available when the Express turn to pick, Perasol said they might to use their rights as ‘trade bait.’
“We really need to improve our inside presence,” said Perasol. “If we can’t get the type of player in the draft, we’ll use the pick as trade bait. We really need to see the final list of the applicants first.”
The successful finals stint of the Air21 Express, who defeated the Magnolia Beverage Masters in the semifinals (4-2), are made possible by import Steve Thomas, Arwind Santos, Wynne Arboleda, Gary David, Ranidel De Ocampo, Nino KG Canaleta and Homer Se, among others.

Salamat po sa moderator ng Air21 site for keeping it moderate…
Anyway, Its good to hear that the Management will keep their players. At least, all they need to do is improvement. I’ll be expecting na mag iiba na ang turing sa atin ng mga PBA teams of what we’ve accomplished, kaya let’s be ready. Sana makakuha nga sila ng bigman to fill up yung vacant position ni Steve Thomas.

15th PBA Press Corps Awards
VE
Sa magarang pag-timon sa kani-kanilang mga koponan patungo sa pagsukbit ng nakaraang sa 33rd o 2007-08 Philippine Basketball Association season, sina Teodorico ‘Boyet’ Fernandez III ng Sta. Lucia Realty at Joseph ‘Jong’ Uichico ng Barangay Ginebra San Miguel ang mga nangungunang kandidato para sa Coach of the Year na igagawad ng PBA Press Corps sa 15th (2008) Annual Awards Night sa Setyembre 2 sa Bayview Park Hotel sa Ermita, Manila.
Ikinukunsidera rin ng PBAPC sa pangunguna ng kasalukuyang pangulo na si Nelson Beltran ng Philippine Star sina Joseller Guiao ng Red Bull Energy Drink at Dolreich Perasol ng Air21 sa tatanggap ng prestihiyosong Virgilio ‘Baby’ Dalupan Trophy.
Isa lang ang nabanggit na award sa ipamamahagi ng organisasyon sa nabanggit na petsa.
Kabilang sa ipamumudmod na mga karangalan ang Executive of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Mister Quality Minutes, Referee of the Year at ang All-Rookie Team.
Sina James Yap ng Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdogs at Paul Asi Taulava ng Coca-Cola ang mga manlalaro na nagawaran nang pinakamaraming Player of the Week citations ng nakalipas na season. Unang pagkakataon ngayon na ibibigay ng press corps ang award na inisponsoran ng Accel.
Hinablot ni Fernandez sa kanyang ikalawang conference bilang head coach ng SLR ang pinakamimithing All-Filipino championship, habang sinungkit naman ni Uichico ang ikalawang titulo para sa Ginebra nang mapanalunan ang Fiesta Cup ng katatapos na season ng pro league.

airwind22 Monday, 25 August 2008 at 9:12 pm
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….
siguro naman alam ng management how important Arwind is in the team….
he is one of the core members of the team, kaya im sure di xa pakakawalan(sana)…
jmarc80 Tuesday, 26 August 2008 at 1:32 am
So ano na nga ba ginagawa ng mga team members natin? Total rest ba sila or nagbalik na sa ensayo sa Xavier?
The way I see it kung may pipiliin sa draft its either ma retain yun or magamit bilang trade bait…na sinabi na rin pala ni Coach Perasol sa press. KUng i-keep yun sigurado may matsustsugi na player kasi 12 na sila dati.Pero kahit na silabi ng mgmt na i-keep nila core eh i doubt it lalo na kung i-pursue nila si Eman or any big man na kaialngan talaga ng team.
Pafa josef…ayos na ito kaya lang yun nga nabangit din kailanagn pa ng modration kay tuloy akala minsan na delete na comments or mga pinost…di kasi agad lumalabas…maglagay ka na lang kaya dito ng chat facility….
Eto na lang can thefans come up with a very nice Air21 Uniform design for season 2008-09?Magandang gmick yan to attract more fans…
How about the possible muse for the team.
Magkakaroon na ba ng Express girls sa season 34?
Sana bago magumpisa ang season magpa fans day!
rieljane02 Tuesday, 26 August 2008 at 8:18 am
naks expect guyz na may ma trade sa isang player sa atin!! parang wala na ata tayong pag asa makuha si norwood maraming gus2 kumuha sa kanya!! -=311=-
corics Tuesday, 26 August 2008 at 3:08 pm
Arwind gave his best and I’m sure he will always be on top of his game lagi basta sana makakuha management ng legitimate center kasi yun ang kulang sa kanila and sana maging consistent yung ibang players coming off the bench at sana ma improve ng coaching staff yung 2nd or 3rd units para di naman sayang talent ng mga players.
Go Arwind! still the MVP
corics Tuesday, 26 August 2008 at 3:11 pm
Josef tama yan sana ma control mo na yung mga bwisita na walang sariling site na nangugulo lang. 1 team tayo dito edukado lahat di katulad nung ibang nakikidaan dito walang manners. sana kahit sa pag open ng bagong season maging maayos na messages natin dito.
sabi nga ni Hancock - “Good Job!”
K.P.21 Tuesday, 26 August 2008 at 3:45 pm
Mas Maganda walang mawawala sa team.. at mas maganda kung madadagdagan pa ang team ng Express ng mga Up coming Rookies…
Sure na sa Welcoat si Gabe Norwood.. But we still hope for the best..
we need a big center to dominate..
I like Ford Arao of ADMU… Ok na siya para sa team..
Sana sa upcoming All Filipino Cup.. mag blossom all rookies like JC, Doug, Marvin.. at sana bumalik na ang laro ni Gabby like sa NCAA days niya sa PCU..
Bumalik na rin sana lalo ni KG..
For Wynne, Gary, Ranidel & Arwind.. Stay Consistent..
For Ervin, Egay, Homer.. Sana supoport our bench..
Go Go Air21!! Express All The Way!!
K.P.21 Tuesday, 26 August 2008 at 3:49 pm
Guys Sino sa palagay niyo and dapat nila i-pick as 6th & 8th pick natin??
Sakin sa first pick natin sana si “Ford Arao” of ADMU..
sa second? uhmm ewan siguro isang fil-am..
basta big wing man.. like “Mark Borboran” of UE ay pwede na..
Ok na ba yun?
K.P.21 Tuesday, 26 August 2008 at 3:54 pm
Sinu-sino ba ang kasali sa Rookie Draft?
alam ko lang si:
Gabe Norwood (PBL, Hapee Toothpaste)

airwind22 Tuesday, 26 August 2008 at 10:16 pm
i kinda agree with you K.P 21, mark borboran is a good player at mas may post play siya kesa kina arwind at KG but will he be enough to be our center?
hmmmmmmmm sana makuha natin si Eman but im sure di papayag ang MBM na wala silang makuha na maganda sa atin?
any news sir josef?

JAWORSKI NASA AIR21 NA?
Zaldy Perez
Macau — Ipinahayag ni Lito Alvarez ng Air21 na hindi pa rin sarado ang kanilang pinto sa posibilidad na makuha nila bilang coach si former senator Robert Jaworski.
Inamin ni Alvarez sa Abante Tonite na sa katunayan, may nakatakda silang meeting ni Jaworski pagbalik niya ng Pilipinas mula sa Macau sa Huwebes. Narito si Alvarez sa Macau upang dumalo sa especial board meeting ng PBA na kung saan isa sa pangunahing agenda ay ang paglagda sa tatlong season na kontrata ng Solar Sports bilang coveror ng liga.
Idaraos din dito sa Macau ang election of officers ng PBA league na kung saan inaasahang mahahalal si Jaoqui Trillo bilang chairman, kapalit ng outgoing na si Tony Chua ng Red Bull.
Ayon kay Alvarez sa buong kampanya ng Air21 sa katatapos na Fiesta Conference, eh nasa kanila si Jaworski at katunayan tumayo itong consultant lalo na sa kasagsagan ng best-of-seven series kontra sa Barangay Ginebra Kings.
Sinabi ni Alvarez, puring-puri ni Jaworski si Bo Perasol dahil sa nadala nito ang Express sa finals sa unang pagkakataon gayong ang tanging mithi lamang nila ay huwag maagang ma-eliminate.
Sa mga maseselang laro sa best-of-seven, inamin ni Alvarez na nagbibigay ng output sa kanya ang dating senador na ipinapasa naman niya kay Perasol.
Katunayan, binalak pa umano ni Jaworski na manood ng game 7, kaya lamang ay nagbago ng isip dahil sa maaring maging reaksiyon ng fans ng Ginebra.
Idinagdag pa ni Alvarez na talagang gustong-gusto nilang makuha si Jaworski bilang coach kaya’t gagawin nila ang lahat upang mapalagda ito ng kontrata bago simulan ang susunod na PBA season sa darating na Oktubre.

para sakin sana mag stick pa rin ang air 21 sa big man na kayang makipag sabayan sa takbuhan!!! hindi na natin kailangan ng GUARD mas kailangan natin ng CENTER or FORWARD para mas lalo pang lumakas ang ilalim natin!!!

ok sakin kung makukuha natin si JARED DILLINGER at JEFF CHAN sa 1st Round!!!o kya humanap tayu ng magandang option for trade!!!

wow!!! sana nga makuha na natin si Jawo, i know BGK xa nuon but would it be a CONFIDENCE BOOSTER if coach na natin sya?! kahit sabihin niyong nananaginip ako, jawo is very fit to be air21’s coach…
and agree ako to get for arao, may post play din yun at si mark borboran kasi parang si arwind ang laro… but baka mawalan ng playing time si arwind if anjan na si borboran…

diehard-21 Wednesday, 27 August 2008 at 10:31 pm
Ang pinakakailangan ng team ngayon ay isang sentro or big man. Sa mga draft candidates ngayon, except for Rob Reyes, wala akong nakikita na dominant big man sa kanila. Sina Arao at Belga ay nakakalamang ng kaunti sa height sa ibang mga candidates, pero kung itatabi sila sa mga big man ngayon sa PBA eh maliit sila sa standard. Kaya para sa akin, si Eman ang dapat nating makuha. Kung ibibigay siya sa atin ng San Miguel, malaki ang maitutulong niya sa team. Medyo unpolished pa lang nga ang mga moves niya, pero am sure matuturuan naman siya. Siya talaga ang gusto kong makuha natin sa team.
air21dbest Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 3:27 am
homegrown lng ung pinapasok sa air21!! may pusong pinoy, pinagtatawanan nga magsalita ung mga players natin xe pinoy na pinoy.. d tulad ng iba akala mo kung paano mg english, eh natural, dun sila lumaki.. kya i doubt na kumuha tyo ng fil-am..
marqi_20 Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 8:34 am
wla bang bagong update sa ating team josef ramos kung sino ang i trade or release sa tingin ko ang dapat i release sa team si ervin sotto & gabby espinas or gawing trade baits…
Dapat ito ang lineup natin this coming season:
wynne arboleda
gary david
arwind santos
kg canaleta
ranidel de ocampo
homer se
dapat kunin
jay-r reyes
yancy de ocampo
sam eman
jason castro
ty tang
solomon mercado
dapat i release or trade
doug kramer
jc intal
marvin cruz
ervin sotto
gabby espinas
egay billiones
dapat parating mo itong idea ko josef ramos sa management ng air21 ito ang dapat kunin para strong lineup tayo this coming next season for us to win our first ever championship…………
arjen Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 9:21 am
- marame rin palansg supporters ang AIR21!!!!
Patuloy lang poh ang pagsuporta…
Go Arwind.. para sa kin kaw pa rin MVP…
hahaha,, Solidong Air pa rin ako…
_tarlac_1973 Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 10:12 am
ahm,panu nah si coach bo perasol kung magiging coach si jaworski,,,,and sana kung may matrade man sa air21 eh sila ervin sotto, gaby espinas ,or doug karamer nalang.
melvin Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 1:43 pm
totoo po bng c jaworski n head coach ng AIR21? ngttnung lng po slmat s ssgot
diehard-21 Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 9:21 pm
Let’s get Eman from San Miguel! I would rather go after him than expect to get a big man from the draft!! There is no dominating big man ngayon sa mga available candidates sa draft. We really need a big man to match up with the big men of the other PBA teams!! Tayo lang at ang Purefoods ang walang player na above 6′6″ ang height!
young don Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 9:56 pm
sir josef…comment lang po…
sana wala pong matangal sa line-up…
pero i know that improvement always need,
so sana kung may tatangalin eh yung mga players na out of the market ang laro…
marami ng superstar na natrade at totally
nakakapang-hinayang…(like marc pingris)
kung meron mang iti-trade sana pag-isipan po ng mabuti at sana wala pong wrong decision sa huli
dahil future ng air 21 ang nakataya…
sana rin po more motivation sa mga players!
dahil ang lakas ng 2nd line unit natin
kaso hindi lumalabas yung tunay na galing nila pagdating sa game…
more power !!!
Take off AIR 21 Flight ! Flight ! Flight !!!
K.P.21 Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 10:13 pm
Guys, Thanks to “batangueNios_asassin” for bringing up the list for the upcoming rookie draft..
6′8 ang pinaka matangkad na nakita ko..
pero sa palagay ko lang huh..
Ford Arao of ADMU will be good enough sa center ng express even though he’s just 6′5.. he’s got the heft of a center, good footwork and inside presence as well as defense..
And Mark Borboran of UE he’s so athletic and versatile.. Can be 2,3,and 4 positions.. a big man who can shoot from the outside, penetrates inside, loves to run, and can defend too.. And for me much more better than KG Canaleta (No Offense) pero marunong siyang mag-post up to defenders..
Kung kukunin natin si Samigue Eman for JC Intal.. that’s a good thing kasi matangkad si Eman.. But Remember the battle for the third place of 2008 fiest conference MBM VS. RBB??
- Eman commited 5 or 6 straight errors via travelling.. what do you think? for me not a good footwork.. masyado siya nababangko kaya di nakakaexperince that much..
- Give JC Intal a chance baka magsisi tayo sa huli.. Hindi siya nakapaglaro due to skin allergy.. my Philippine Cup pa para to Bloom his athletism and talent.. Baka kasi magaya tayo sa Coca-Cola Tigers ng i-Trade nila si Yeo.. Gumaling sa SLR at isa siya sa piece kaya nag-Champion sila.. Everybody deserve a second chance.. like Doug Kramer, Marvin Cruz, Gabby Espinas and Ervin Sotto..
Kung wala man tayong dominate center.. meron naman tayong versatile, fast, big wing men.. to match up those liitle wing men of other teams.. and besides may Homer Se tayo.. pwede sila magpalitan ni Ranidel sa Center Spot and Substitute si Sotto..
What do you think guys?
K.P.21 Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 10:23 pm
To airwind22 thanks for the compliment..
Mark Borboran is really good as I watched him through his UAAP days.. magaling talaga siya..
We don’t need PG/1 and SG/2 kasi:
Sa PG/1 may Arboleda, Billiones, & Cruz na tayo masyado na madami..
Sa SG/2 rotation natin sila David, Santos, & Intal.. Minsan si Canaleta pa nga eh diba?
We need big versatile big man who can be 6′5 above..
para sakin I’ll stick to “Ford Arao & Mark Borboran”..
kahit maraming magagaling sa PG & SG slots..
like Cholo Villanueva (DLSU), Kelvin Dela Pena (MIT), Patrick Cabahug (AdU), Pong Escobal (SBC), TY Tang (DLSU), Jason Castro (PCU) & Solomon Mercado..
Tsaka sabi nga ng Express na nabasa ko sa Article nila.. All Filipino ang Express..
Kaya nga nila nai-trade sila Jay Washington at Marc Pingris kasi Half Fil lang sila..
Josef Ramos Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 10:35 pm
Madami pa rin ginebra fans na ngaasar hehehe nasa spam box sila dumederecho hehehe…
So far, wala pa namang official news guys mahirap pangunahan ang management… Hanggat hindi niyo nababasa yung story dito sa site hindi yun official…
airwind22 Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 10:57 pm
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
i agree Ford Arao has the post play that we need plus the height konting training ang yan with Ranidel and makukuha na niya post up style ni Ranidel na sobrang galing at ganda…
yes no need to get a PG or SG…
Arboleda, Cruz, and Billiones are good enough for the position na!!! sa SG naman ehhh nanjan na sina Intal, Santos and David na very effective… so lets get UE’s Mark Borboran para may kapalitan si KG…
wat u think guys?!
K.P.21 Thursday, 28 August 2008 at 11:35 pm
For me.. its either..
6th pick - Ford Arao of ADMU
8th pick - Mark Borboran of UE
or
6th pick - Mark Borboran of UE
8th pick - Ford Arao of ADMU
basta di sila ma pick ng ibang teams..

From the PBA website:
“Rain or Shine owns the number one pick followed by Talk N Text and Magnolia. Completing the drafting order are TNT (4), Alaska (5), Air21 (6), Purefoods (7), Air21 (8), Barangay Ginebra (9) and Sta. Lucia Realty (10).”
I was just wndering, bakit napunta sa Air21 ang number 8 pick na dapat sa Ginebra… At bakit napunta sa Ginebra ang pick 9 na dapat sa redbull….
supposed to be, dapat sa Ginebra ang 8th pick di ba? pero napunta sa Air21, na dapat sa San Miguel na mapupunta dahil sa Espinas trade?
And paano napunta sa Ginebra ang pick 9? sa redbull dapat yun, dapat nga dalawa pick ng redbull dahil sa Junethy trade…
Ang dapat sa Air21, eh yung 2nd or 4th pick ng TNT dahil sa Aljamal trade last year… kinuha ng air21 si Aljamal sa 8th pick last year pero TNT ang nakinabang and ang alam ko, ang usapan, ang kapalit ni Aljamal eh 1st rnd pick din for this year…
Hintayin ko na lang updates bago magdraft sa Sunday…
For me, sa 1st rnd, eto dapat kunin ng air21
(2 1st rnd picks)
-Castro kung available pa
-Rob Reyes kung available pa din
-Borboran(pero napapaisip talaga ako kasi may KG and Arwind na tayo)
-Kelvin dela Pena(he is tough and pwede na siya kapalitan ni Gary off the bench sa SG position,para si KG at Arwind na talaga ang magpapalitan sa SF, di kasi bagay mag SG si KG)
2nd rnd, it will depend sa nakuha ng air21 sa 1st rnd
(2 2nd rnd picks)
-TY tang (kung available pa at kung di nakuha ng air21 si Castro sa 1st rnd)
-Ford Arao (pwede siya gawing project for a center, pag nangyari yun, Sotto might be released already)
-Jeff Chan or Fernandez (as i have said, kailangan ng back up ni David sa SG position)
About sa Intal-Eman trade… 50-50 ako diyan
kasi JC might blossom this coming season… pero pwede rin si Eman kasi WE BADLY NEED A CENTER OR BIG MAN NA MAY INSIDE PRESENCE..not to offend Sotto…
Ganito na lang, Bigay niyo yung isa nyong pick sa 1st rnd to San Miguel to grab Eman… may Eman na kayo, si intal(na pwede back-up ni David) eh nandyan pa rin… DI BA? INTELLIGENT SUGGESTION BA? WHAT do you guys think?
God bless!

ayaw ba ng air21 sa fil-am……..?i dont think so…. as far as I know…Nino “KG” Canaleta is a FIL-AMERICAN from tarlac… Biological father niya is a black american …yun adoptive father naman nya “may he rest in peace” is a full blooded pinoy..kaya pinagamit yun apelyedo nyang Canaleta
its my 25cents worth…..
kidwarrior Wednesday, 3 September 2008 at 1:23 am
and Gabby Espinas po is a FIL-AM po…..pero KG and GABBY are homegrowns naman…same as Jason Castro..fil-am din sya yun mom nya is pinay currently based in the US….yun dad nya di pa yata nya nakikita
