Trading Mike Cortez opened up playing time for Jayjay Helterbrand, says Siot Tanquingcen

For Siot Tanquingcen, trading a talented point guards in exchange for a project center is a step in the right direction for Ginebra.

“Sometimes less means more,” Tanquingcen said shortly after piloting Ginebra to victory over GlobalPort Friday night.

The coach was addressing the trade that sent point guard Mike Cortez to the Air 21 Express.

“I have high respect for Mike. He’s a talented player, but just like what he said in the interviews, he needs to play.”

Cortez debuted for his new team earlier in the night, posting 24 points, six rebounds, six assists, and five steals in just 24 minutes while leading Air 21 to victory. In exchange, Ginebra acquired rookie center Yousef Taha, who did not see action against GlobalPort.

But the trade, according to Tanquingcen, allowed Jayjay Helterbrand an opportunity to step up.

“On the other hand, the decision of trading Mike somehow enabled Jayjay (Helterbrand) to perform better and he showed that tonight.”

Helterbrand scored eight points against GlobalPort, including six in a crucial fourth quarter stretch.

Alam na alam naman naten na talagang kayang-kaya pa ni JJ na makipagsabayan sa mga rookies, bigyan lang ng enough playing time sigurado ako babalik yung angas ng laro nya.

sana more PT kay jj ............... angas ng laro nya ........... kaya nabuhayan si idol mc ............. :yaay:

wala pa rin kupas si jayjay. si LA medyo hirap pa talaga. may mga bagong plays pero hindi pa ma execute ng tama. mas ok pa si elmer gumagalaw at ng penetrate more pt kay Elmer

iba talaga laro ni mc pag anjan si the fast, practice lang ng perimeter game pang mvp na ulet :10:

salamat naman coach siot binigyan mo ng PT si idol, former MVP yan kaya for sure may ibubuga pa si idol! nakita nyo ba yung mga nice pass nya at yung last drive nya, nandun pa din yung tikas nya.. nice game idol!

sakto sa pagkatrade ni Mike ang pag galeng ng hamstring ni JJ!

kaya siguro kinuha si kuya roblab para pamalit sa bench ni jj :lol!:

^ sana lang pre wag na bumalik yang pang gulong hamstrings na yan.. Di na tinantanan si JJ eh :mad2:

sana matagal ng naisip ni coach siot yon na kaya pa ni jayjay dalhin ang ginebra... puro guard kasi kinukuha nya di nya namamalayan wala na tayong treat sa ilalim... kahit kelan talaga si siot la wenta dapat talaga mawala na sa ginebra yan... pero ok lng basta manalo ang team natin ayos na...

^tama! alam ko na magaling talaga si LA, no doubt yan pero nung dumating sha sa ginebra parang binigay na lahat ang tiwala ni sioty kay LA, nasa adjustment period pa sila pero parang binigla nya kagad si LA at the same time binangko nya si JJ, which is WRONG, FORMER MVP yan, di yan naging MVP for nothing, at nagpapasalamat ako kay sioty na bingyan nya ng chance na mapakita ni JJ yung kaya pa nya.. kitang kita naman sa game kontra TNT, nandun pa yung tikas nya yung mga matitinding pull up jumper nya tsaka yung swagger kitang kita mo kay JJ habang naglalaro..
