MANILA, Philippines – The Alaska Milk Aces ball club owner Wilfred Steven Uytengsu was among those who expressed concern on the trade between Kia and San Miguel involving the No. "The purpose of the draft is to strengthen the weaker teams. Under the proposed Kia-SMB trade, the latter will get the former’s top overall pick in Sunday’s PBA Draft that would likely end up to be Fil-German center/forward Christian Standhardinger. "There is already a lot of about Kia benefitting financially if this trade were to go through and you have to wonder if they are even making the league minimum salary cap," Uytengsu added. Another concern Uytengsu expressed was league balance and salary cap compliance.
