AIR21, PUREFOODS & GINEBRA IN PLAYER CAROUSEL

 

 

Allado, Canaleta newest Giants; Kings welcome Intal, Kramer, Lanete

Monday, 26 January 2009

It could well be known on Tuesday if Air21 will sport a new name starting the coming PBA Fiesta Conference.

 

If ever, the Express will come out in the next conference with a new name, a new coach and a new look.

 

Air21 on Monday close trade deals with Purefoods and Barangay Ginebra, getting a major change in its lineup while hoping the PBA Board approves its bid for a name change – Air21 to Burger King – in a meeting Tuesday at the PBA office in Libis, Quezon City.

 

The Express gave away Don Allado, Nino Canaleta, JC Intal and Doug Kramer, and in return gained Beau Belga, Chad Alonzo and three future picks (Ginebra's first round selections in 2012 and 2013 and another from Purefoods).

 

Allado and Canaleta went to Purefoods while Intal and Doug Kramer moved over to Ginebra. Chico Laneta was part of the deal, first going to Air21 before ending up with Ginebra.

 

"We got a surplus of players on the entry of Cyrus Baguio and Celino Cruz. What we did was to balance our lineup with a properly-planned trade deal," said Air21 governor and team manager Lito Alvarez.

 

"We didn't opt for draft picks in the near future because we're happy with the lineup we've got. We opted for 2012 and 2013, thinking that's the time the likes of Wynne Arboleda and Homer Se are retiring," Alvarez added.

 

Alvarez also believes the movement will serve in good stead all the players concerned.

 

"Arwind Santos is playing around 35 minutes a game for us. So more or less 13 minutes are left for KG (Canaleta) and JC (Intal). I think, KG and JC will get more exposure in their new teams," explained Alvarez, adding the same on the cases of Allado and Kramer.

 

The Giants and the Kings, meanwhile, welcomed their new recruits with open arms.

 

"We filled in our injured spots," said Ginebra coach Jong Uichico.

 

"Don Allado will help us strengthen our rotation at center spot. He has a deadly perimeter jumper and solid post moves. He is also one of the best post defenders in the league. KG, on the other hand, is an explosive athlete who can score from the inside and all the way from the three-point area. He's a consistent scorer who can compliment the games of Kerby Raymundo, James Yap and Rico Villanueva," said Purefoods coach Ryan Gregorio.

 

"We had problems in scoring last conference. I hope with Allado and Canaleta on board, our inability to score can be addressed," Gregorio added. (NC)

I dont want to hear damn trades, change of lineup, new players, etc. because it means we are blaming the players who gave there all, while in fact its pretty obvious its coaching mistake. They have lots of stars some not even use(Eman and Bono could have been stars if they play in a different team with a better coach) Just the coaches head should roll nothing else.

Sayang nga eh..kung medyo nagconcentrate sa Defense SMB baka cla pa Nkapasok sa finals....

 

YAH FOR ME FRANZ PUMAREN IS THE RIGHT COACH .. ESPECIALLY SA 4TH QUARTER ALWAYS COLLAPSE SMB ESPECIALLY PAG MALAKI LAMANG NLA D N ALAM NI SIOT PANU GAGAWIN..... FOR THE PLAYER THEY NEED A TRUE PG THAT CAN PLAY WHAT RACELA DID THE THAT CAN CONTROL THE TEMPO OF THE GAME...

May height limit ba ang import next conference? Kailangan nila ng low post player na center o power forward. Mukhang mahina na inside game nila.
