MANILA – Veteran gunner Jeffrei Chan was as stunned as every fan when Rain or Shine Elasto Painters decided to trade him to Phoenix Fuel Masters earlier this week.
Chan, a native of Bacolod City, thought he will end his PBA career with Rain or Shine after playing for the franchise for nine years and helping it win two titles.
“I was surprised because I think I was loyal to them (Painters),” Chan told the press after practicing with Phoenix. “I also helped them achieve their goals (win championships). But that is how it works in the PBA.”
“I will take this trade as a challenge,” the former Gilas Pilipinas cager added. “Sometimes, as a player, it’s good for us to take on new challenges. It adds to the motivation.”
The 33-year-old Chan was one of the consistent contributors for Painters in the ongoing PBA Governors’ Cup, where he averaged 9 points on 27-percent shooting from three and 1.67 assists.
Chan, who previously played for the University of St. La Salle, is expected to be an added boost to Fuel Masters’ offense that also features 3-point slingers Matthew Wright, RJ Jazul, John Wilson, and Angelo Alolino.
“I’m not expecting anything from Phoenix. I just want to help my team win more games,” Chan said. “I just want to help guide this team, especially the younger players.”
“I hope to help the team have a good run this conference. Phoenix is a young team,” he added. “And if not this conference, maybe next season. We’ll see.”/PN
