MANILA, Philippines – It turned out Blackwater is the final destination of Paul Desiderio and Abu Tratter. Right at the floor during the 2018 PBA Rookie Draft proceedings, Blackwater and NLEX silently negotiated a deal that the two teams sealed Monday, agreeing to send Desiderio and Tratter to the Elite camp in exchange for Poy Erram. For their part, Blackwater team owner Dioceldo Sy said they have formed an interesting young, good unit in netting Desiderio and Tratter in addition to No. 6, NLEX was still able to pick Tratter at No. For if the trade didn’t materialize, we would also be happy with Desiderio and Tratter,” said Guiao.
