The demand for height in the PBA has always been high. Since Filipino players aren't naturally tall, seeing a seven-footer with decent skills should, in theory, be a "no-brainer" for any team. Yet, for Greg Slaughter, that hasn't been the case.

According to league insiders and anonymous reports from Spin.ph, penned by staff who, for some reason, keep their identities hidden despite the "hot" nature of the topic, there is more to the story. Greg is now 37 years old. While critics argue he is "slow and old," his career statistics tell a different story. Back in the 2015-2016 season, he averaged a dominant 19 points and 11 rebounds. Even during his last stint with NorthPort, he put up a solid 14 points and 9 rebounds. So, what happened? As an outside observer, his continued absence from the league defies logic.

The Titan’s Potential Return

Thanks to recent reports from Spin.ph, there is finally news to discuss. It appears that Titan Ultra has secured a deal with "Gregzilla." The move reportedly only awaits PBA approval. Since the team holds his rights, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be approved—unless, of course, there are unresolved issues or "debts" within the league that we aren't aware of.

Greg Belongs in the PBA

The 2026 PBA Commissioner’s Cup is the first time I’ve felt truly excited for the league in years (excluding, of course, when my Ka-Barangays are playing. I can’t hide my fan side, though I try to stay open-minded!).

The PBA allows giant imports to compete, so why shouldn't we allow our own "Greggy" to play? His return would undoubtedly boost excitement and gate attendance. While I’m not sure exactly how he would fare against world-class imports today, it just feels right. Titan Ultra should have the "Titan," Greg Slaughter.

Don’t you think?
