Espinas to Red Bull; Bugia to Air21; Sotto signed with Alaska

Air21 traded Gabby Espinas to Red Bull in exchange for a first round pick next year. The Express, who had their best finish (second) in franchise history in the previous Fiesta Cup, have also put JC Intal on the trading block.

On the other hand, with the departure of 6-foot-6 Earvin Sotto, who signed with Alaska, Air21 has fill up the void by tapping free agent Paolo Bugia, the 6-foot-6 center who last played for Red Bull.
