MANILA, Philippines – Poy Erram has seen his time with NLEX come to an end.
The lanky big man is expected to return to TNT after the proposal for a three-team trade involving NLEX and Blackwater was sent to the PBA office.
As first reported by Gerry Ramos of Spin.ph, the complicated deal will ship Erram and a future first-round pick from Blackwater to TNT.
Blackwater, meanwhile, is set to receive Ed Daquiaog, Marion Magat, and a future first-round pick from TNT.
Lastly, NLEX is expected to land Anthony Semerad and a future pick from Blackwater and a future first-round pick from TNT.
“We thank Poy for his hard work, sacrifice, and dedication to our organization and wish him the best as he continues his career in the PBA,” said NLEX in a statement posted on its Instagram account.
Erram will reunite with TNT, the team that drafted him as the No. 15 overall pick in 2013.
But he was eventually dealt to Blackwater the following year, although the trade proved beneficial to his development into becoming one of the best big men in the PBA and a part of Gilas Pilipinas.
With Blackwater, Erram transformed into a consistent double-double performer and even won the Defensive Player of the Year in 2018.
His improvement turned heads, with NLEX acquiring him in December 2018 in a three-team trade also involving TNT and Blackwater.
With Erram in the fold and Ray Parks agreeing to a one-year deal, TNT will try to make a push for a championship run in the Philippine Cup as it seeks to end a five-year title drought. – Rappler.com
