How Did Raymond Almazan Ended Up With The Bolts In 2019?

Raymond Almazan
In early 2019, Raymond Almazan was reported to have a tumultuous relationship with the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters. The marquee center was included in a package, which was approved by the PBA, that sent him to Meralco in exchange for the Bolts' 2019 and 2021 first-round draft picks.

Almazan played six games for the Elasto Painters in the 2019 PBA Philippine Cup after going AWOL due to a misunderstanding with Rain or Shine head coach Caloy Garcia. The two patched things up during the offseason but it appears the relationship never fully mended.

Why Can't DeMarcus Cousins Get Back To The NBA?

DeMarcus Cousins
There was a time when DeMarcus Cousins was considered as a possible PBA import. There were rumors that there is a high possibility that he will suit up with Converge. However, the report fizzled out probably because of how Cousins behaved during his time in the NBA.

Cousins was only 31 years old when he last played his NBA game. Sure, he suffered an ACL injury that caused him to miss the entire 2019-20 season and also tore his Achilles in January 2018. But even after he had gotten himself back to 100 percent health, he never got a chance to play in the NBA again and was not called by any teams from the PBA.
