PBA: Ginebra needed ‘to get younger’ says Cone after trading away vets
Barangay Ginebra coach Tim Cone stated that the team needed to "get younger" after trading Christian Standhardinger and Stanley Pringle to the Terrafirma Dyip.
The trade, approved by the league on Friday, July 12, sent Holt, Go, and the third pick to Ginebra in exchange for Standhardinger, Pringle, and the 10th overall selection.
Cone mentioned that while the decision was tough, both the team and Standhardinger had expressed a desire for different paths, with Standhardinger having previously indicated a preference to play in a different system.
Standhardinger, a former MVP runner-up, acknowledged the move as part of professional basketball.
He had a strong performance last season, averaging 19.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game.
Ginebra, which reached the semifinals in both conferences last season, is now set to pick third overall in the upcoming PBA draft.
