Philippine Basketball GM

Meralco Bolts head coach Luigi Trillo has candidly admitted that his team faces limitations when it comes to player trades compared to other PBA teams. While Trillo would like to bolster the roster, he recognizes that the team's resources and strategic considerations prevent them from making impulsive moves. Trillo's comments are a subtle dig at the elite teams in the PBA who have the luxury of acquiring top talent through trades. These teams, often backed by powerful corporate sponsors, can afford to make significant investments in their rosters.

With the Governors' Cup title on the line, pushing through pain might be seen as a necessity for both player and coach in their pursuit of another crown. Tim Cone, however, focused squarely on the team’s pe
