The reunion between Aldin Ayo and Jerrick Balanza is happening.
After four months, Northport and Converge finally had the meeting of the minds as a one-on-one swap between Balanza and Allyn Bulanadi has been approved by the PBA.
Balanza, 26, was one of Ayo’s players during his championship run back in NCAA Season 91.
The 13th overall pick in the 2019 PBA Rookie Draft averaged 5.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in the Commissioner’s Cup.
Bulanadi, 25, is a Gilas draftee from the 2019 batch.
The product of San Sebastian normed 4.4 points last conference.
The trade was previously proposed back in September but was denied by the Batang Pier.
