Barring any other moves, Ganuelas-Rosser is set to return to the ballclub that drafted him once the trade is approved.
Blackwater made Ganuelas-Rosser the top pick overall in the PBA Season 47 draft before he was traded on September 22 to Blackwater as part of the deal that sent Calvin Oftana to TNT and Troy Rosario to Bossing.
NLEX team governor Ronald Dulatre thanked Ganuelas-Rosser for his contributions to the team.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Brandon for his unwavering dedication and contributions during his three remarkable conferences with NLEX,” said Dulatre in a statement.
“His time as a Road Warrior will forever be cherished, and we wish him the best of luck with his next team. Brandon will always hold a special place in the NLEX family.”
Blackwater has been busy during the offseason with Ganuelas-Rosser joining fellow newly-acquired players Rey Nambatac and James Yap, taken from Rain or Shine in separate deals.
For NLEX, it receives another player from Blackwater after signing free agent Baser Amer during the offseason.
Ironically, Ular was in the same draft class as Ganuelas-Rosser when he was picked first in the second round. The two were part of the All-Rookie Team for Season 47.
Taha has been out of the Blackwater line-up due to an injury, and is set to join his ninth team in a journeyman PBA career.
