                    [Summary] => 



The PBA board will hold an emergency meeting on Friday to deliberate on the validity of a recent trade that involved seven players from Air21 and sister teams Coca-Cola and Ginebra.


The trade that was consummated last Friday has sparked a controversy on the manner it was sealed. It has also fanned rumors of a possible disbandment of the Coca-Cola franchise.


Officials from Coca-Cola, Ginebra and Air21 will be given a chance to convince the others that the trade, the biggest so far in the off-season, was done in good faith.
