Just to let him feel upset on the trade, lol.. The fact that they let him go, it means they don't need him anymore as they are not satisfied with his performance, I'm not sure if that statement is really serious.
Now that he is back, he's just being used as a trading tool and now the Ginebra got Cstand in exchange of him. One thing more is that the Ginebra already won a championship without him and that is a proof that they don't need him in order to win a championship. On Greg's side, he must show his improvements of his practice last year and he must show that the Ginebra really made the wrong choice of trading him. I'm really excited how Greg will play this upcoming season and how he will fit on the NorthPort . I'm excited to see his improvements.
He can stand out but the fact that the team he's been sent is not the type of a team who can compete with superb teams.
Plus also he's aging and lots of injuries, he can give some good minutes but without any supporting cast to win the game, he'll be forgotten
all along.
He should be thankful to land a team and now will still playing, unlike with other known players who still don't have clear destinations.
