PBA Imports Rumors: NBA stars are targeted for next conference?


 In a tweet that energized PBA fans, sports analyst Carlo Pamintuan hinted that two former NBA players are being considered as potential imports for the league’s next conference. 

While he didn't reveal their names directly, he listed the teams they had played for in their NBA careers. Fans quickly speculated that the first player, who had stints with teams like Toronto, Memphis, the Los Angeles Lakers, and Brooklyn, might be Kenneth Faried, while the second, with history at Denver, Brooklyn, and Houston, could be Ed Davis.

Both Faried and Davis would bring depth, skill, and a wealth of experience to any PBA team. Faried, famously known as the “Manimal” for his high-energy style and rebounding ability, enjoyed a productive NBA career with a standout tenure in Denver, where his athleticism and hustle made him a fan favorite. 

Meanwhile, Ed Davis is known for his solid defense and rebounding, a reliable role he performed across multiple teams. Both players, while no longer active in the NBA, bring the kind of veteran talent that can greatly impact a PBA team.

The buzz around which teams might be negotiating with these ex-NBA stars is already intense. Many point to San Miguel Beermen, a team with both the financial capability and history of attracting elite imports, as a likely suitor. NLEX, known for its willingness to sign former NBA players, also seems a possible destination. 

With Rondae Hollis-Jefferson's recent success, it’s clear that these high-profile players can dominate the league, and fans are eagerly watching to see if Faried and Davis will indeed make their PBA debuts. If they do, the coming season promises to deliver some of the most competitive matchups in recent memory.
