it looks like alaska will be the team to be sold during the offseason and not powerade?
Nobody outside of SMC would want ALASKA to leave the PBA.
However, ALASKA selling its franchise has become a distinct possibility: ..... Uytengsu selling majority control to Dutch Corp RFC ..... plus the close ties of Trillo with CEBUANA-LHULLIER might be a clue.
If ever ALASKA sells its franchise, they'll only sell it to a non-SMC & MVP team ..... kinda like CEBUANA-LHULLIER, who had been exploring the PBA for the past few years now.
===================================================================================
POWERADE selling its franshise to SMC should be a foregone conclusion .....
the extremely questionable & blatant attempt to trade super-rookie Marcio Lassiter PLUS the revelation of a very sensitive corporate document, has all but confirmed the sale. I'd treat that document as truth ..... a.) who the hell would make up such a document? ....... b.) who the hell would forge the signature of a foreigner president of a multinational corporation?
Like I had posted before ..... POWERADE & SMC were caught with their pants down, the last time around ..... they wont make the same mistake again.
The next attempt to trade Lassiter (and others) will be "legal" to PBA Comm. Cheato Salud.
