MANILA, Philippines — Hangad ang kauna-unahang finals appearance sa PBA, kumpiyansa ang Phoenix na magagawa nila ito ngayong 43rd season sa tulong nina head coach Louie Alas at assistant Topex Robinson.
“We are determined to win. We enlisted two new coaches, long-time deputy Louie Alas and NCAA achiever Topex Robinson,” wika ni alternate governor Raymond Zorilla sa Phoenix na kaagad sasagupa sa nagdedepensang San Miguel sa pagsisimula ng 2018 PBA Philippine Cup bukas sa Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Si Alas, dating assistant coach sa Alaska, ang humalili kay Ariel Vanguardia sa bench ng Fuel Masters, muling ibabandera si Gilas Pilipinas shooting guard Matthew Wright kasama sina veterans RJ Jazul, Jeff Chan at JC Intal.
Sa nakaraang 2017 PBA Rookie Draft ay hinugot ng Phoenix si dating La Salle Green Archers power forward Jason Perkins.
“We made some minor trades for possible minor players from other teams but for us, they would give good quality minutes,” ani Zorilla sa paghugot kina dating Kia star guard LA Revilla at NAASCU standout Jonjon Gabriel.
“I think we’re all in agreement here that we’re not just sitting idle. We’re not sitting to lose. We’re aiming to win. We made a build-up after the season,” wika ni Zorilla.
Idinagdag din ng Fuel Masters si center Jaypee Mendoza mula sa Alaska Aces kapalit ng kanilang 2019 second draft pick.
