TERRAFIRMA DYIP Gov. Bobby Rosales explained that the rationale behind the controversial trade proposal involving CJ Perez is primarily because his team wants to get two first-round picks — its own first overall and the San Miguel Beermen’s eighth — in the 2021 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Rookie Draft slated on March 14.

The trade proposal is still pending for approval by the PBA trade committee as of press time.
