Do you love the game? Just answer me that. Mind you, I'm not asking if you know how to analyze, or if you understand statistics, or if you are familiar with player's stats and personal lives inside and out. Those come after the most important thing - true passion for the game.

I am looking for new writers to represent universities and colleges of the UAAP and NCAA. While these are the priority, if you are a great fan of the PBA or PBL and its teams, you are also welcome to join.

Convince me by writing to ghmercado@gmail.com, how passionate you are about writing basketball. In your own words, tell me why Maroon is your fave color, why schools beside Mendiola produce better guards, why Green flows through your blood, why you fly like an Eagle when your team plays, or why you're offended that I didn't include your school in this sentence. THIS IS NOT A WRITING CONTEST, so don't wax poetic. This is also a PAYING GIG, part - time and work from anywhere, so it'll be worth your while.

Any age, gender, alumni or student, with or without writing experience is welcome. You can also write in Tagalog or English.

As long as you love the game.

The only thing really I can say about Gasol going to LA is - hallelujah. If there's anything I can say in my brief stint at playing Yahoo Fantasy Basketball, it's that the lack of quality big men, even in the most popular and most monied basketball league in the world, is appalling.

Which is to say, that should a team be lucky enough to land anyone even near the quality of a Pau Gasol, let alone that team be the currently over - achieving and always popular Lakers, then by golly that's an incredible feat in itself. I am by no means a Lakers fan (although Kobe's recent appearance here changed my opinion of him completely), yet even I'm excited. It's like the whole league suddenly became interesting again by just that one move. Considering the Lakers aren't doing so badly, they might even give the Celtics a worthy challenge. And how mind - blowing is that? LA vs. Boston all over again. My God the whole idea makes me shake in my boots.

A few more notable things re the trade:
