A possible reunion looms for former Tanduay Rhum stalwarts Mark Telan and Eric Menk.
This as Rain or Shine, Telan's new team, expressed its intention to tab the former Philippine Basketball Association Most Valuable Player, who's one of the free agents left unsigned by the Ginebra Kings.
Team co-owner Raymond Yu told GMANews.TV that the team is considering Menk in their bid to shore up Rain or Shine's small frontline.
"We are always open to opportunities," said Yu, referring to Menk as one of the players in their short list of big men.
Aside from Menk, the Elasto Painters are also looking at center Carlo Sharma and forward Ken Bono of Burger King to join Telan, whom Rain or Shine recently signed to a one-year deal, at the fort.
Telan and Menk had previously teamed up for the Rhum Masters during the franchise's dominance in the Philippine Basketball League. They were two of the players elevated by coach Alfrancis Chua to the PBA when the franchise rejoined the PBA in 1999.
Menk could provide experience and toughness to a young Elasto Painters squad built around promising forward Jay-R Reyes, sophomores Gabe Norwood, Sol Mercado, TY Tang, new recruit Jeff Chan, third-year pro Ryan Arana and rookies Jervy Cruz and Marcy Arellano, who were both signed up by the squad last week.
"We're excited with our team right now. We tried to strengthen our weakening positions and we have added a veteran in Telan," said Yu. GMANews.TV
