    BARANGAY Ginebra coach Tim Cone has no doubt in his mind that Paolo Taha will blossom at GlobalPort after the one-on-one trade for Julian Sargent.

    The Kings made deals in consecutive days on Tuesday when they shipped Taha to the Batang Pier for Sargent, a day after receiving Jeff Chan from Phoenix in exchange for a 2019 first-round draft pick.

    Cone was saddened to trading away Taha, but at the same time happy that the former College of Saint Benilde star will finally get the break that he never got in two seasons with Ginebra.

    “Said good bye to Paolo Taha. One of the toughest things I had to do. What a great person he is, and great teammate. We're truly going to miss him, and we wish him the best at Globalport,” Cone wrote on his Twitter page several hours after the trade was approved by the PBA Commissioner’s Office.

      Taha played in just three games this conference and averaged 0.67 points per outing, but Cone expects Taha to get his much-deserved playing time at GlobalPort.

      “I think Paolo is really going to surprise everyone at Global. He's been buried behind his best buddy, MC47, in the rotation, but we all know at Ginebra how dynamic his game is. For sure, he'll blossom over there,” said Cone.
