Kahit i-trade okay lang kay Washington

Matapos maghintay sa pagtawag sa kanyang pangalan sa katatapos na 2005 PBA Rookie Draft, ang kanyang sinasabing paglipat naman sa ibang koponan ang hinihintay ni Fil-American Anthony Washington.

"I heard a few things about that but right now everything is just hearsay. Right now I’m just waiting again like what happened in the Rookie Draft last Sunday," wika ni Washington kaha-pon sa ensayo ng Air21.

Gustong gamitin ng Express management ang 6-foot-6 power for-ward para makabingwit ng malakas na slotman at matalinong pointguard sa layuning makapagpakita ng maganda sa darating na 2005 PBA Reinforced Conference sa Oktubre 2.

Ayon sa tubong Zam-bales, handa niyang tang-gapin kung anuman ang mangyayari sa kanyang kapalaran bilang No. 1 overall pick.

"If something where to come out that was maybe a better situation then ob-viously I’m gonna consi-der that," sabi ni Washing-ton, tumulong sa Welcoat Paint Masters para ang-kinin ang korona ng naka-raang 2005 PBL Unity Cup kontra sa Montaña Jewels.

May kabuuang 16 pla-yers ngayon ang Express, ayon kay team manager Lito Alvarez.

At dahilan rito, kaila-ngang magbawas ang Air21 ni head coach Bo Perasol upang makakuha ng malakas na reinforce-ment.

"I have never been even had the chance to meet the whole team yet and this is my first workout with them," wika ni Wa-shington, sinasabing Pili-pino version ni NBA su-perstar LeBron James ng Cleveland Cavaliers. "The next couple of days will be a feeling out process and see where everybody fits in." (Ulat ni Russell Cadayona)
