KENT Salado, Allyn Bulanadi, Jackson Corpuz, and JVee Casio are some of the unrestricted free agents currently in the PBA market.

The four players who remained serviceable, have been let go by their respective teams with almost a month before the league’s 50th season kicks off.

Both Salado and Casio incidentally, still saw action in the recent 40th Kadayawan Invitational basketball tournament, but never got to sign contract renewals.

Casio actually tried out for a roster spot at Converge during the Kadayawan meet after parting ways with Blackwater, but appeared to have failed.

Salado's contract expired last July, but still played for the Fuelmasters in the four-day pocket tournament hoping he’ll be offered a contract extension during the one-month grace period that teams are allowed to hand out contract proposals.

Kent Salado wasn't offered an extension by Phoenix.

Unfortunately, there was none that came from Phoenix management.

Bulanadi is currently with the Pangasinan Heat Waves after not beiing offered an extension by NorthPort when his previous deal expired last July.

But Spin.ph learned that both parties have an understanding that the Heat Waves will release him should he receive a better offer from any PBA team.
