Greg Slaughter has obviously worn out his welcome at Barangay Ginebra.
The 7-foot center was officially traded by the Kings to NorthPort Batang Pier for Christian Standhardinger in a blockbuster trade that was long in coming.

Slaughter went on a self-imposed sabbatical after the 2019 season amid talk of a disagreement with management on a contract extension and ended up missing Ginebra s championship run in the PBA Philippine Cup bubble.
ARE the curtains coming down on the career of veteran big man Asi Taulava?
While the former PBA MVP, set to turn 48 on Tuesday, has kept himself in shape by joining the NLEX Road Warriors in their group workouts, teammate Kiefer Ravena apparently spilled the beans when he said Taulava is calling it a career and will join another Road Warrior in Cyrus Baguio in retirement.
Ravena said the team needs a big in the coming draft where the Road Warriors own the Nos. 3 and 4 picks, respectively, especially with the 6-foot-9 Fil-Tongan about to retire.
“Obviously ‘yung size talaga, that was really glaring during the (PBA) bubble, and that’s what we lack. And with the departure of Asi, big guy na naman ang nawala. Kailangan punuin yung spot na yun,” said the NLEX guard in his guest appearance in the Power&Play program of former PBA Commissioner Noli Eala on Saturday.
CJ Perez understands that he has very remote chances of winning the Best Player of the Conference in the PBA Awards Night given Terrafirma’s lowly performance in the PBA Philippine Cup bubble.
