Ginebra won't trade 'building block' Ellis to get Asi Taulava, insists Eala

Slam-dunk champion Chris Ellis has become one of the crowd favorites in Ginebra’s roster because of his high-wire act and ability to play above the rim. Jerome Ascano

SAN Miguel Corp. sports director Noli Eala readily shot down rumors of Barangay Ginebra trading away rookie Fil-Am Chris Ellis to Meralco for the services of veteran center Asi Taulava.

“Time to put this ugly rumor to rest. We have no plans to trade Chris Ellis,” Eala tweeted on his account @NoliEala.

The 6-foot-5 Ellis has become one of the crowd favorites in Ginebra’s roster behind his high-wire act and ability to play above the rim.

And Eala stressed the 24-year-old reigning league Slam Dunk champion is a vital piece in the Kings’ future.

“He's one of Ginebra's building blocks,” added Eala, a former PBA commissioner.

Rumors have been going around social media linking the soft-spoken Ellis together with guard Josh Urbiztondo in a direct trade to the Bolts for Taulava and rookie Fil-Am Cliff Hodge.

Meralco owns the PBA rights to the 6-foot-9 Taulava, who just won a championship and an MVP trophy with San Miguel in the Asean Basketball League recently.

The past few weeks, Taulava has made known his wish to play again in Asia’s first ever pro league and ending his playing career with Ginebra.

Taulava’s resurgence in the ABL has again sparked a lot interest from PBA teams like Air21 and Ginebra, which has long been looking for a reliable big man to plug its hole in the middle.

Sana this time nagsasabi ka ng totoo!

Regarding naman sa balitang ito, NAMAN! kahit isama pa nila si Hodge mas pipiliin ko pa rin si Ellis, tsaka kung masisira lang ang CORE ng team sa pagkuha kay Asi mas mabuting wag na nilang i-pursue tong trade na to, tutal nakuha na naman ng Ginebra si Japeth, malaking bagay na din ang pagdating nya sa team.. NO MORE TRADES kung ganyan lang...

di rin ako papayag na si ellis eh maaalis... 10 or more years pa ang itatagal ni ellis si taulava 2 to 3 years na lang... wag na lang ituloy yung trade kung mawawala si ellis... pero kung ano man ang mangyayari wala tayong magagawa basta lets hope for the best of the team support all the way... GOD BLESS GINEBRA...
