The proposed deal will see NLEX sending Don Trollano, Ben Adamos, Kris Rosales, and a second-round pick in the PBA Season 49 Draft to NorthPort in exchange for Robert Bolick and Kent Salado.
Don Trollano, a valuable asset acquired from Blackwater in January 2022, has proven his worth since donning the NLEX jersey.
Meanwhile, Ben Adamos, acquired from Phoenix Super LPG in May, and Kris Rosales, a free-agent signing in November 2021, have both made significant contributions to the Road Warriors.
Bolick, on the other hand, was drafted by Northport back in 2018.
Salado was traded to Northport by Ginebra last September 2022.
Expressing gratitude for their service, Road Warriors team governor Ronald Dulatre commented, “We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Don, Ben, and Kris for their dedication and hard work with the NLEX Road Warriors. Each of them has played a crucial role in our team’s journey, and we wish them continued success, both on and off the court.”
The proposed trade gains added significance following the unfortunate ACL injury to Kevin Alas, creating a scoring and leadership vacuum within the team.
“In light of Kevin Alas’s unfortunate injury, we recognize the pressing need to fill the void left by his scoring and leadership,” acknowledged Dulatre.
“Robert Bolick is a remarkable player, and we believe his skills and experience will significantly contribute to the NLEX Road Warriors. We are excited about the prospect of having him on our roster and look forward to the positive impact he can make for the team.”
The proposed trade is currently pending approval from the PBA
