EVEN after bagging the season’s first two championships in the Philippine Basketball Association, San Miguel Beeer is certainly not content. In an attempt to even bolster their already formidable championship core, the Grandslam-seeking Beermen shipped seldom-used rookie big man Arnold Van Opstal to GlobalPort in exchange for fellow newbie gunner Von Pessumal. The one-one-one swap of Gilas Cadets was finalized by both teams yesterday and was immediately approved by the Commissioner’s office. This move comes just days after San Miguel Beer celebrated its conquest of the recently concluded Commissioner’s Cup. For the Batang Pier, it finally has a project big man to fill in the hole in the middle.
