Iringang SMBeer at Alaska

MANILA, Philippines — Hindi nagustuhan ng San Miguel ang isang maanghang na komento ni Alaska coach Alex Compton.

Kahapon ay naglabas ng official statement ang Beermen kaugnay sa sinasabi ni Compton na magiging ‘kawawa ang liga’ dahil sa kanilang pag-hugot kay three-time scoring champion Terrence Romeo mula sa TNT Katropang Texters sa pamamagitan ng isang trade sa offseason.

“It is unfortunate that Alaska team head coach Alex Compton had to make a statement against the Beermen and the league when he actually traded away competent players like RJ Jazul and Calvin Abueva,” wika ng San Miguel sa Aces mentor.

Nilinaw din ng Beermen na inalok ng Tropang Texters si Romeo sa iba pang PBA teams.

Ngunit nakuha ng San Miguel si Romeo mula sa bakuran ng TNT Katropa at ibinigay sina David Se-merad, Brian Heruela at isang future first-round pick.

“Each PBA team has a responsibility to create the right chemistry and harness talents to come up with a formidable squad. This league has gone a long way in providing entertainment and appreciation for this great sport and for that we thank all the people who have been a part in building it,” sabi ng Beermen.
