Captain Hook set to sail with Meralco

I hope Mac Cardona doesn't bring his penchant for court scuffles with him to Meralco.
After getting stripped barren due to lopsided trades over the past few seasons, the Meralco (Jumpers) franchise is starting to build from the rubble.
It was less than a month ago since the sale of the former Sta. Lucia franchise was finalized and the team owned by basketball godfather Manny V. Pangilinan is already making its presence felt in the big league, signing three-time champion coach Ryan Gregorio, who tagged assistant Ronnie Magsanoc along with him.
The deal gives Gregorio (supposedly) a guaranteed five-year contract that will hand him the coaching reins of the Meralco squad while also being the head of the company's basketball operations.
Now, the (Jumpers) have acquired Talk N' Text scoring machine Mac Mac Cardona in a three-team deal that also involved Air 21.
Sinong napunta saan?
Air 21 Express - Josh Urbiztondo and 3rd pick in the 2010 Draft (from Meralco)
Meralco (Jumpers) - Mac Mac Cardona (from Talk N' Text)
Talk N' Text Tropang Texters - 4th pick in the 2010 Draft (from Air 21)
In essence, Meralco got Cardona for the 4th pick in next week's Rookie Draft.
