The blockbuster trade featuring rising star Calvin Oftana and top rookie Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser drew ice-cold reactions from teams around the Philippine Basketball Association.

A ranking team official raised the alarm, saying that there was already a prior agreement that the top overall pick should only be traded after playing two seasons with the team that drafted him.

The team official spoke on condition of anonymity, but was obviously referring to Ganuelas-Rosser, who was included in the earth-shaking deal after just one conference playing for Blackwater.

Based on the proposal that was already sent to the Commissioner's Office, Ganuelas-Rosser and Paul Desiderio will be sent to NLEX in exchange for Oftana and Raul Soyud.

The Bossing will then ship Oftana and Soyud to the Tropang Giga for Troy Rosario and Gab Banal, giving Chot Reyes a chance to coach the former San Beda University star who delivered a strong performance in the previous Philippine Cup.

But the source shot it down, stressing that the league should reject the deal.

"There was a previous agreement that bars the No. 1 pick from getting traded so there's no reason for the trade to push through," the source told Daily Tribune.

The trade of the top overall pick had already left a bitter taste in the mouths of team owners and executives.

Five years ago, Kia owns the first-round pick but ended up trading it to powerhouse San Miguel Beer, creating a howl of protest from the other squads who sensed that it would create an imbalance to the league.

The No. 1 pick was used to select Filipino-German banger Christian Standhardinger, a development that rocked the league and led to a deadlock between teams under San Miguel Corporation and Manny V. Pangilinan Group of Companies.
