PBA commissioner Chito Salud said the blockbuster trade involving five teams, six players, and two draft picks are “balanced and even”, which was why the deal was approved quickly.

| Alaska Aces | LA Tenorio Wesley Gonzales Hans Thiele | JVee Casio Dondon Hontiveros 2015 2nd round pick from Ginebra |
| Barako Bull Energy | Willie Miller | Enrico Villanueva |

| GlobalPort Batang Pier | JVee Casio | Willie Miller 2014 first round pick from Ginebra |

“They will result in a more competitive league in terms of lineup strength and potential,” said Salud. “As always, fundamental in my evaluation of trades is the parity among the parties involved.”
He added that he is looking out for the fans of the league when he reviewed the deal, which saw marquee players change teams.
“This is a clear mandate on my part if I am to continue to uphold the fans’ interest.”
