THE TNT Tropang 5G are awaiting approval from the PBA Commissioner’s Office for the trade that would bring veteran forward Joshua Munzon to the team.
TNT team manager Jojo Lastimosa said the trade proposal has already been submitted to the league office after the team reached an agreement with the Giant Risers.
“Yup, (a trade proposal has been sent to the PBA office,” Lastimosa told Fastbreak in a Telegram message on Thursday. “Not official yet (since it’s not yet approved by PBA).”
The proposed deal would send Munzon to TNT in exchange for the Tropang 5G’s first-round pick in the Season 53 Draft and the rights of reserve big man Joe Celzo.
Interestingly, TNT had previously offered veterans Rey Nambatac and Glenn Khobuntin to Titan Ultra in exchange for Munzon, but the Giant Risers turned down the proposal.
Munzon has been one of Titan Ultra’s key contributors this conference, averaging 15.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists in eight games.
Munzon emerged as one of the league’s promising two-way players after his breakout campaign with NorthPort last season, when he was named the PBA Most Improved Player and selected to the All-Defensive Team.
For the Tropang 5G, the pending move comes as the defending Governors’ Cup champions look to strengthen their roster after a turbulent stretch in the conference. (Adrian Co)
