Mike Cortez to Air 21 looms as 3-team trade with Ginebra, Petron in the works



AKTV/Paul Ryan Tan
If plans don’t miscarry, Mike Cortez will have a reunion of sorts with his former college coach Franz Pumaren.
A three-team trade that will send Cortez to the Express is now in the works among Air 21, Barangay Ginebra San Miguel, and Petron Blaze.
Pumaren, the Air 21 coach, and team executive Lito Alvarez told InterAKTV that they’ve already proposed a trade to Barangay Ginebra San Miguel for the services of the veteran guard, who played for the coach at La Salle.
Cortez was Pumaren’s starting point guard when the Green Archers won its fourth straight title in 2001. The coach had earlier expressed interest to be reunited with his former sentinel.
“We’re still waiting for them,” Pumaren told InterAKTV when asked which players will be dealt in the three-way trade. “Depende yan sa kanila.”
Alvarez said the trade would also involve Petron Blaze, which is likely to send veteran guard Denok Miranda in the deal.
“Kailangan ng guard ng Ginebra while yung Petron naman, malaki ang kailangan nila dahil injured si (June Mar) Fajardo and (Danny) Ildefonso,” said Alvarez.
According to the executive, either rookie center Yousef Taha or James Sena can be included in the three-team deal.
