2024 PBA Draft: Northport to trade Bolick’s rights to NLEX for Trollano in a 5-player deal

NLEX and NorthPort proposed a trade to the PBA, with NLEX offering Don Trollano, Ben Adamos, Kris Rosales, and a Season 49 2024 PBA Draft second-round pick to NorthPort in exchange for Robert Bolick and Kent Salado .

Trollano, acquired in 2022, and Adamos and Rosales, both big contributors, were part of the trade. Bolick, originally drafted by Northport in 2018, and Salado, traded by Ginebra in 2022, will join NLEX.

Road Warriors team governor Ronald Dulatre thanked Trollano, Adamos, and Rosales for their dedication. The trade took on significance due to Kevin Alas’ ACL injury, creating a need for scoring and leadership. Dulatre expressed optimism about Bolick’s ability to benefit NLEX, pending PBA approval.

Don Trollano will move from NorthPort to San Miguel in a three-team 2024 PBA draft involving NLEX. NorthPort traded Trollano, Kris Rosales, Ben Adamos, and a Season 49 second-round pick for Robert Bolick and Kent Salado from NLEX. NLEX sought Bolick to replace the injured Kevin Alas.

San Miguel acquired Trollano by trading Allyn Bulanadi, Jeepy Faundo, and a Season 51 second-round pick. Trollano, who joined NLEX in 2021 after a trade involving Blackwater and TNT, will be reunited with former Adamson teammates and coach Leo Austria in San Miguel.

This trade is important for San Miguel, dealing with star injuries, including June Mar Fajardo’s broken hand. The Beermen recently lost to Magnolia in the Commissioner’s Cup, missing several players.

Bittersweet return for Bolick in the 2024 PBA Draft, but not in Northport.

Northport head coach Bonnie Tan expressed mixed emotions when Robert Bolick returned to the PBA but will no longer play for the Batang Pier. Bolick, along with Kent Salado, were set to be traded to NLEX for Don Trollano, Kris Rosales, Ben Adamos, and a later second-round pick.

Tan is happy with Bolick’s return to the PBA but sad that he will not be with NorthPort according to the 2024 PBA Draft. The team found out about the trade after the loss to Meralco. Bolick briefly joined the Fukushima Firebonds of the B.League but left after one game due to family reasons.

The departure of Salado, who was traded by Ginebra last season, also saddens the team. Tan acknowledges that these changes are part of the life of the PBA.
