Stricter salary cap
Coach Yeng Guiao says the PBA should have stricter measures to force salary cap compliance.
YENG Guiao says next for the PBA to focus on after implementing unrestricted free agency is to enforce a stricter salary cap for teams and players.
NLEX Road Warriors coach and general manager, Guiao said free agency is good of the players but smaller teams will struggle even more.
“Nakikita na natin ngayon pa lang that the balance is tilting towards the more capable teams financially,” Guiao pointed out.
“… advantage yan ng teams na maraming resources, at disadvantage yan ng teams na hindi maraming resources.”
How to go about it and modify its limitation is up to the league hierarchy, according to the NLEX coach.
“Now it’s up to the PBA to balance that. Mabuti wala ako sa position ni commissioner Willie (Marcial) kasi problema talaga yan ng commissioner,” Guiao stressed.
New role for Marc Pingris
