Lassiter trade vetoed!

Follow my blog at www.sydrified.org! Booyah! PBA Commissioner Chito Salud probably saved his integrity with this move and while I am PBA fan with no loyalty, I am happy that the Powerade Tigers will still keep in their services Marcio Lassiter. Yes, Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines still owns the Powerade franchise (for now) which makes itaaa

Loyalty Swap: Those who need to

There’s a TOP TEN version of this post at www.sydrified.org! If these guys were playing for the new Air21 Express team, they could have easily scored 20 minutes and perhaps unloaded at least ten shot attempts. Unfortunately they aren’t.
