"Na-serve na ‘yung [notice of] termination (kay Mikey Williams). I think he already replied. I think the PBA sent him a letter already about his termination.
"‘Yung TNT still holds his rights," Lastimosa said.
"Si Mikey, ang balita namin, he was able to respond and ‘yung response niya is pinadala sa TNT which I don’t know kung ano ‘yung laman ng response. I don’t know," he added.
Lastimosa also shared how PBA board chairman Ricky Vargas, albeit currently experiencing 'flu-like symptoms,' continues to be at the forefront of discussions.
"Sir Ricky Vargas is handling it and our lawyers are (on it). Si Mr. Vargas, ang dami niyang trabaho grabe.
"Grabe ang trabaho niya. He had three meetings today and one seminar. May flu-like symptoms daw siya. The guy is 70 years old and he’s still working like a horse," the TNT head coach said.
