The veterans are all there. So it&#x27;s not gonna be like teaching new things to new guys. We&#x27;re gonna be able to step in and do right away what we do. That should hopefully be a little of an edge over some other teams,&quot; Cone said in an interview on &quot;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheLinkPodcastByReyJoble/videos/2611302629132012">The Link Podcast</a>&quot; with Rey Joble. &quot;Some other teams have new guys trying to immerse in a system. Maybe, it would be difficult in a short time that we have here.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/10/02/20/pba-gab-reinstates-calvin-abuevas-basketball-license">PBA: GAB reinstates Calvin Abueva&#x27;s basketball license</a></li></ul>Ginebra will also be forced to play without Greg Slaughter.Cone said that although his squad won a PBA title without the big man, the head coach said he preferred Slaughter to be around.&quot;We certainly know how to play without him,&quot; said Cone. &quot;We certainly want to play with him.&quot;&quot;He changed the game for us as he gave us the size that nobody has except for San Miguel.&quot;
