IN A decisive move, the Philippine Basketball Association Commissioner’s Office gave the green light to a significant three-team trade on Monday, December 11, 2023.

The focal point of this trade involves the dynamic player, Robert Bolick, as NorthPort makes a strategic move by dealing him to NLEX, filling a void left by the injured star guard Kevin Alas.

NLEX, keen on reinforcing its lineup, not only secured Bolick but also added reserve guard Kent Salado to their roster.

In return, NorthPort acquired a robust package, including big man Ben Adamos, guard Kris Rosales, small forward Don Trollano, and NLEX’s PBA Season 49 second-round draft pick.

This exchange set the stage for another captivating move, as San Miguel entered the picture, finalizing a deal with NorthPort to acquire Don Trollano.

In return, NorthPort received Allyn Bulanadi, Jeepy Faundo, and San Miguel’s 51st Season second-round pick.

The latest transactions are poised to reshape the dynamics of the PBA, creating a ripple effect that fans and enthusiasts are eager to witness as the teams gear up for the upcoming season.
