The PBA free agency has some peculiarities, but Troy Rosario's extended wait to sign with a new team might be signaling something deeper. Rosario turned down a generous five-year deal from Blackwater, and now, after nearly two months without pay, the clock is ticking for him to finalize his next move. A cryptic hint that he’s eyeing a “richer” team leaves us with two possible contenders: powerhouse clubs like Ginebra or TNT, both backed by substantial resources and offering a strong shot at championship contention.
The logic is straightforward: if Rosario had plans to sign with Converge or even San Miguel Beermen, he’d likely have done so by now rather than enduring this unpaid waiting period. He’s past the early-career experimentation stage; now, it’s about securing his legacy and financial stability, which means maximizing his position within the league's competitive top-tier teams.
Moreover, Rosario’s skill set – a versatile power forward who can stretch the floor and defend multiple positions – perfectly aligns with what Ginebra or TNT might seek. Ginebra, known for its rabid fanbase and storied championship legacy, and TNT, which is always hungry to reinforce its already powerful roster, are ideal destinations. Either could offer the combination of title pursuits, visibility, and stability that Rosario would likely prioritize at this stage in his career. So, the mystery behind his delay in signing could very well be a deliberate, strategic move to land with one of the league's elites, where both the paycheck and legacy could follow suit.
