This professional squad is in trouble. With almost everybody demanding a trade, the team owner decided to step in and call for a dialogue among his key players.

After listening to their grievances, I think the boss now has a good idea on what’s going on.

It didn’t come as a surprise that a controversial player is headed to a team owned by Manny Pangilinan.

Negotiations are still ongoing, but an insider said the squad is offering two second-round picks in exchange for the star cager.

But his former team apparently wants more.

“We are taking a big risk in getting him,” said the insider.

“If they don’t want our offer, then we might as well pull out of the discussion. Nothing will happen.”

A playmaker doesn’t want to be traded. But to his surprise, he found out that he is being shopped around.

He believes that he’s one of the league’s best point guards so it’s really a surprise to learn that he’s on his way out of his current club.
