An Attempt for Governors Cup Title Defense: Lassiter Trade to Petron Pushed

Powerade's super rookie Marcio Lassiter is back to the trading block with Petron amending its offer with the hopes of getting the Fil-American player who was a major role in Powerade's final bid last Philippine Cup.

The amended offer was for Rabeh Al Hussaini and Rey Guevarra of Petron in exchange of Marcio, the Tigers' 4th Pick in the 2011 PBA Draft.

Al-Hussaini, who was drafted second overall by Air21 two years ago, has played just once since being injured when he tore his ACL before the finals of the Governors’ Cup last year. He did not play the entire All-Filipino conference.

If this pushes through, Marcio gets to reunite with fellow Gilas Chris Lutz and former coach Rajko Toroman in the Petron Bench. Sources who knows this deal says that papers would be sent to the Commissioner's Office.
