Slaughter and Lassiter said the Gilas Pilipinas team that finished second in the FIBA Asia tourney is more deserving of the FIBA World slot.
Non said they have even persuaded Slaughter to reconsider his decision.
"We talked to him. Kahit si [SMC President and Chief Operating Officer] Ramon Ang kinausap siya na sumama sa pool. Pero nahihiya siya talaga doon sa mga matagal na sa Gilas," said the SMC executive in the PBA website.
