Unfair? More on Lassiter deal

Kung ganito pa din laro ni Baclao ngayon, wala na
tayong pinag uusapan pa sana. Kaso hindi. 

Powerade's super rookie Marcio Lassiter for Petron's slumping sophomores Noy Baclao and Rey Guevarra. It's almost a done deal-- with a Thursday meeting among the PBA board the only remaining roadblock (which will ultimately be put aside as it always does with a couple of trademark Commissioner Chito Salud adjustments).

Petron (and San Miguel Corporation) fans are up in arms trying to defend their impending acquisition. Deflecting accusations of greed and self-preservation to their erstwhile rivals, the Manny V. Pangilinan group of companies. If there is any truth to the "Powerade on sale" rumors, then fans are quick to point out that this would be similar to what the Texters did when MVP bought out the Santa Lucia Realtors franchise but not before trading two star players to their own team.
