PBA: GlobalPort creates intriguing mix of youth and veterans

The GlobalPort Batang Pier got their first taste of the PBA quarterfinals during the 2013 Governors’ Cup. Not satisfied with their one-and-out showing though, the newest of the PBA franchises has undergone a radical facelift entering the 2013-14 PBA season.

GlobalPort’s moves started in the offseason when they dealt away Gary David. Then during the draft, they pounced on Barako Bull’s desire to deal away their picks, doubling their haul over the first two rounds. As a result, they came away with an intriguing rookie trio - RR Garcia, Terrence Romeo, and Nico Salva.

The Batang Pier continued to make moves after, shipping out their oldest player, Willie Miller, while swapping rookies with the San Mig Coffee Mixers. Finally, needing a veteran voice, they went and brought in Eric Menk from Barangay Ginebra.
