Jan 30, 2021 A NUMBER of PBA fans feel San Miguel should add at least a player from its core for the Beermen’s trade with Terrafirma, with CJ Perez as centerpiece, to be fair. Perez is arguably one of the future stars of the PBA, named Rookie of the Year and earning a spot in the First Mythical Team in 2019, which is why several fans were outraged by the move of Terrafirma to trade its star player to powerhouse San Miguel for Matt Ganuelas-Rosser, Russel Escoto, Gelo Alolino and a first-round draft pick or this year. San Miguel coach Leo Austria and Terrafirma team governor Bobby Rosales have already explained their side on why the deal was made, but despite their statement, fans continue to resent the deal, saying it is unfair for the Dyip.

However, the amiable team official asked the people to also respect the Terrafirma decision. “That’s understandable, napapatunayan lang natin kung gaano ka-passionate ang Pilipino sa basketball. Mahal nila ang basketball, but samin we look at it positively,” said Rosales when he appeared Saturday on the weekly sports shot The Chasedown on One PH channel over CignalTV. “We encourage them in conversation about issues, it is a healthy situation when fans engage the PBA, the players and the teams. Sa amin we respect their opinion… parati tayo magkakaron ng deperensya, and there will always be two sides to any issue.”

Eala said that while teams “will do everything to win,” the league should ensure the fairness of trades amid the controversial pending transaction that will ship Terrafirma star CJ Perez to San Miguel Beer. “PBA teams will do everything to win. That’s inherent in competition. It’s up to the PBA to ensure the propriety in trades that are supposed to achieve that goal while keeping league integrity,” said Eala through his Twitter account.
