You know Javale and Douthit cannot be on the same team, unless the tournament allows imports.

afaik, we can have them both on the team but they can't play on the same time (just like the case of imports on uaap and ncaa)
correct me if i'm wrong

oh you're right, my bad. read that National Teams are allowed to suit 1 naturalized player only.

That was the old rule, FIBA changed it already.

Honestly, I don't know about Toroman. He's a good coach overall but he seemed to be slow to adjust once a team changed it's game, and if you notice, teams we played twice adjusted to his plays the 2nd time around taking away what was working, and the Gilas couldn't find other ways to pull those 2nd games out.
I appreciate the way he got this team to gel and work its butt off, and he got them to the next plateau. But to move forward and upward, some more innovation and improvisation is needed IMHO.

^ absolutely spot on. He is a good pre-game strategist, but an awfully poor in-game coach.
Word has it that numerous Gilas players were not sold on him anymore.

Word is Javale has accepted and the naturalization process will start soon. I still can't get confirmation yet.

Pray that the lockout continues until early next year. Javale to TNT and perhaps Douthit to Meralco.

So does this mean the latest incarnation of Gilas would not include blue chip amateurs like Booby Ray and Kiefer? Was the grassroots program scratched and we're back to playing pros in international tournaments?

^ No. The grass-roots program will still continue with the college players, while the PBA players will suit up for at least two FIBA-sanctioned tournaments this year.
One scenario is, the entire core of the TNT team plus Douthit (or best case Javale) and Paul Harris (as import) might play in one tourney by the 3rd conference. They've asked the PBA (thru Willie Marcial) if it's possible to not schedule any games with TNT while they're away for about 2 weeks. This might be easier to do since only one PBA team will have to adjust their conference schedule.
