Another chapter of Petronovela: NO MORE TRADE BANNER

Jay Washington will still be wearing this jersey, at least for now.

For those who have been following different social media sites, news sites such as Interaktv and different forums, you may have encountered the term, "PETRONOVELA", a term which describes what has currently been happening with Petron over the past year.

Via Snow Badua, who interviewed Hector Calma which said that there would be no more trades for this conference (although he admitted they were cooking one previously) left Petroniverse to a sigh of relief.

Sure there had been questions on whether Jay Washington and Arwind Santos co-exist... But in the past 2 games including their statement win against Rain or Shine, Jay managed to show that he can co-exist with his team mates and bring his level of play up to how it was known to be when he won 2 Best Player of the Conference Awards before being injured and sidelined for a long time. I guess trade rumors got the better of him than Gary David (this is just an opinion).

I just hope that Jay will have a chance to bond more with the new guys in the Petron camp. I hope the NO MORE TRADE continues on. Enough of the problems. I know Petron can make things work.

To Trade or Not To Trade: Petron's Jay Washington

After the win of Petron Blaze versus Rain or Shine last night (November 14), Jay Washington confirms of the trade talks that he may be involve in, that he knew about it and is just ready to play basketball.

There are 2 rumors afloating: A straight up trade between him and Global Port's Gary David and a three-team trade which would bring him to Ginebra, Gary to Petron and Kerby Raymundo to Global Port.

There has been questions on Jay's ability to play lately: Can he coexist with Arwind Santos? Where did his BPC numbers go a few years back? Petroniverse fans observed him very lazy on court that some even compared his game to Global's Rabeh Al Hussaini, who has been a cause of headache of his coaches. 

But a very different Washington showed up Wednesday against the E-Painters, it was like the Jay it used to be...

To trade or not to trade? That is the question...

A Side Note to Petronovela - The Newest Primetime Addiction on AKTV

(Credit to Paul Ryan Tan of AKTV)

 

 

Forget "A Beautiful Affair" or "Temptation of Wife" who would be premiering on the 29th. Petronovela is more interesting, as another sidenote to the Petronovela returned after their win against Global Port, 110-98.

 

The man with the name of Marcio Lassiter, who has not seen action for the Blaze Boosters since he got traded in April formally stepped into the hardcourt during the last minute of their Friday game, perhaps it is how Olsen wanted it, to make Marcio feel the game. His sole shot was a made three-pointer that brought cheers to those who are watching in the Coliseum and even to Twitter, as fans tweeted Mrs. Jerlyn Lassiter, Marcio's wife.

 

 

Mam Jerlyn certainly had her hands full tweeting during her husband's 1st game back after a long time.

 

 

How will Marcio help the team? That is something I am very excited about. Until Friday (November 2) when the Petroniverse battle Air 21 Express.
