The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters recently traded center Raymond Almazan to the Meralco Bolts in exchange for future draft picks.

According to Painters Governor Mamerto Mondragon, the team will acquire the Bolts’ first round draft picks for 2020 and 2021.

He pointed to off-court issues between the player and Painters head coach Carlos Garcia as the reason behind the trade.
