Petronovela: The Coaching and Player change (Again)

Petron ended the 2014 Philippine Cup with a 4th place because of an early elimination in the semis. they lost to Rain or Shine with a 4-1 status, Quite a good run for them actually for It's hard to enter in a semis. 

But the thing is, Petron is a loaded team they have all the caliber they wanted: from Center up to Point guard they are all complete (Well even the their bench is locked and loaded) but why are they still losing? 

Fans said because of the team lack of teamwork for they are only focusing on individual stats, some says it the coaching staff for they lack experience with this kind of series.

By that SMB/Petron seem to follow both statements. They started to trade some of their key players specifically: Alex Cabagnot and Jason Deutchman. Alex Cabagnot was traded to GlobalPort for Sol Mercado and Jason Deutchman was traded to Barako bull for Rico Maierhofer. 

That was not the end of the change..

Petron/SMB took another step; They reshuffled their coaching staff..
Coach Gee Abanilla was promoted to Team manager of the Petron/SMB team, Biboy Ravanes was named Head coach, Todd Purves was allowed to be an active consultant (AKA: To be in charge), Siot Tangquincen (Former Team manager of Petron/SMB) was moved to Barako bull and Leo Austria was removed in the coaching staff by the SMC management

The big question remains: Was this a good move by the Petron Management? 

Well I guess this is not a good move by the Petron Management, why? 
Well because first of all why trade players when you know The "Teamwork" is not working? Trading would just make the team chemistry go back to 0 as they say
Also why would you Reshuffle your coaching staffs? There would be a hard time on adjusting to a another system again, this also affects the team chemistry. 

We all have this little observations on what will happen on the Team but we really can't say for sure if this would be a good or bad move for the team. Who knows? our Observations might be wrong and they might be right. 

But there is one thing I wanted to say not just for the Petron/SMB team but to other teams as well: Change affects Chemistry, Chemistry results into teamwork and bond, Teamwork and Bond can win Championship
