BARANGAY Ginebra isn’t done wheeling and dealing.

The Kings parted ways with Sidney Onwubere by trading him to Northport for big man Ben Adamos.

The trade already got the approval of the PBA Commissioner’s Office.

The player movement was the latest done by the Kings, who on Saturday dealt away the pair of Christian Standhardinger, Stanley Pringle, and the No. 10 pick in the Season 49 draft for Terrafirma’s Stephen Holt, Isaac Go, and the third overall pick of Sunday’s draft.

Coach Tim Cone used the No. 3 pick to acquire highly-touted guard RJ Abarrientos.

In Adamos, the Gin Kings added a 6-7 center to a frontline that lost Standhardinger and Greg Slaughter the past few years, joining Japeth Aguilar, Ralph Cu, Raymond Aguilar and Isaac Go, who came in by way of the Standhardinger trade.

On the other hand, the trade is a homecoming of sorts for Onwubere, who in 2021 played for NorthPort before he was traded to Ginebra in exchange for Arth Dela Cruz.
