Alaska coach Jeffrey Cariaso said the team is fully committed to sign Vic Manuel a multi-year extension even after the veteran forward expressed his desire to be traded.
Cariaso met with Manuel Friday night to shed light on his trade demand which surfaced through a Spin.ph story that came out earlier in the day. Manuel was quoted as saying that he felt dismayed over the Aces’ offer of a one-year deal.
“I met with him last night and he was able to share with me his concerns, plans and desires. He candidly expressed that his contract situation at almost 34 years old, makes him constantly think about his family’s life after his career,” Cariaso said Saturday morning.
