Kerby Raymundo on the trading block

Kerby Raymundo’s departure from Ginebra might be forthcoming.

MANILA -- Kerby Raymundo’s departure from Ginebra might be forthcoming.

In an information that reached Solar Sports Desk, Raymundo is said to be on his way to the Meralco Bolts for Jay-R Reyes.

The trade is said to be pursued already by Smart Communications Vice President for Sports Patrick Gregorio.

“Hinihintay na lang namin ang sagot nila,” said a source from Meralco. “Hopefully matuloy na rin ito!”

Even Raymundo’s agent, Danny Espiritu, hinted at the pending transfer of the agile wingman from Orion, Bataan.

“Malapit lapit na yan. Oras na lang ang hinihintay,” said Espiritu with a grin.

If Meralco will finally bag the 32-year-old former Letran Knight, the team will finally become a championships contender.

Just in the last 5 days, the Bolts have acquired Gary David, rookie guard AJ Mandani, big man Rabeh Al-Hussaini and Nelbert Omolon in two separate trade deals.

“We really want to improve the roster. Hopefully, makuha na si Kerby. Siya na lang ang kulang,” said the source of the possible reunion between Raymundo and his former coach at Purefoods, ryan Gregorio.
“Ryan kasi knows how to use Kerby. Alam niya ang kiliti ni Kerby,” added the source.
Reyes, on the other hand, will further bolster Ginebra’s frontline.

Assuming the Kings draft Gregory Slaughter, coach Ato Agustin will also have a slew of big men patrolling the lane with reyes, Japeth Aguilar, Rico Maierhofer and undersized slotmen Billy Mamaril and Willie Wilson.
