The PBA trade committee has rejected the player-swap proposal that would have sent Rey Nambatac to the TNT Tropang Giga in exchange for Kib Montalbo and a future second-round pick to the Blackwater Bossing.
Fastbreak learned from a league insider that the trade committee sent the proposal back to the Tropang Giga and the Bossing for revision if they still wanted to proceed with the swap.
“Rejected,” a source said. “Pinaparevise ‘yung trade sa TNT at Blackwater if gusto talaga nila magpalitan.”
The trade proposal, which was agreed upon by the two teams on Wednesday, was criticized online by basketball fans as it favored the Tropang Giga.
Blackwater team owner Dioceldo Sy also received backlash from netizens after allowing the lopsided trade, despite his recent suggestion for a dispersal draft to improve the PBA’s parity.
Since entering the league, the Bossing have surprisingly traded away their key players to MVP-owned teams—the Tropang Giga, the Meralco Bolts, and the NLEX Road Warriors.
So far, four members of the Tropang Giga team were former Bossing players: former top-overall pick Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser, John Paul Erram, Brian Heruela, and Barkley Ebona.
The Bolts also have four former Blackwater players in Allein Maliksi, Raymar Jose, Diego Dario, and Kyle Pascual, while the Road Warriors have two ex-Bossing players in Renato Ular and Baser Amer.
