A possible reunion looms for former Tanduay Rhum stalwarts Mark Telan and Eric Menk.

This as Rain of Shine, Telan’s new team, expressed its intention to tab the former Philippine Basketball Association Most Valuable Player, who’s one of the free agents left unsigned by the Ginebra Kings.

Team co-owner Raymond Yu told GMANews.TV that the team is considering Menk in their bid to shore up Rain or Shine’s small frontline.

“We are always open to opportunities," said Yu, referring to Menk as one of the players in their short list of big men.

Aside from Menk, the Elasto Painters are also looking at center Carlo Sharma and forward Ken Bono of Burger King to join Telan, whom Rain or Shine recently signed to a one-year deal, at the fort.

Telan and Menk had previously teamed up for the Rhum Masters during the franchise’s dominance in the Philippine Basketball League. They were two of the players elevated by coach Alfrancis Chua to the PBA when the franchise rejoined the PBA in 1999.

Menk could provide experience and toughness to a young Elasto Painters squad built around promising forward Jay-R Reyes, sophomores Gabe Norwood, Sol Mercado, TY Tang, new recruit Jeff Chan, third-year pro Ryan Arana and rookies Jervy Cruz and Marcy Arellano, who were both signed up by the squad last week.

“We’re excited with our team right now. We tried to strengthen our weakening positions and we have added a veteran in Telan," said Yu. - GMANews.TV

hindi pa nmn ito sure...... wait na lang tayo kapag confirmed na

hindi yan... confident parin ako na Menk will stay at the Barrangay...... He'll retire as BGK like JJ and MC...



hahahah peace out

kun ganun lets party,,,

tama yung desisyun na si menk must stay in ginebra... dun na sya magreretire... kasi treat pa rin sya inside the paint kahit sabihin nating medyo may edad na sya...

addition to that matutulungan nya yung other bigmen ng bgk the like of evill, bugia, se, kramer yung mga techniques nya para maimprove pa yung mga game ng mga iyun.. hayz thank you lord

I'm glad its not true. i can't imagine Eric Menk wearing any other uniform than the red and white #30 jersey of gin kings.



hope menk retire wearing that uniform. as well as jj and mc.

pero parang lampa n ni menk ngaun...! tsamba lng atta mga scores nya... pag tambak n lng minsan saka sya gumagawa... pero khit saan menk will alwys b menk... khit san idol... idol p rin kita!

sya ang isa sa mga player ng ginebra na nagiistepup sa oras na kailan na kailangan ng team... isa sya sa mga players na hindi sumusuko... maraming series na crucial ang napagwagian ng ginebra dahil sa kanya... isama mu na dun si mc47 at si jayajay tubid at si sunday

its just rumors mga tol

kung mangyari man yan, ang dapat gawin ng ginebra ay sign and trade para hindi sila lugi.. Menk for Jay-R Reyes++ is good.

Menk is a very good player...

and a smart player that analyz the situation inside the court

like a unique jem.

and i think ginebra would not throw that unique jem..

but whatever the managemnet decision is..

i know its good for all...

noong 2009 pa ung topic. read first before you post.

pero ang kailangan nila ay isang pang bigman who can grab rebound and has a very good defense so that they have defensive threat in the paint.nilamon lang ni thoss ang bigman ng gbk nung semi-finals kaya sila na sweep.

im not a ginebra fan. im a purefoods fan ^_^

that's like asking to trade Shaq for Bogut...


In my honest opinion, unlikely na mangyari yun. Hatfield is a good friend of major Pain, one of the reasons why gusto nya maglaro uli.. for another title run with Menk..

I think Menk is good for one more year, and he'll retire as a BGK player..

yeah i know it's unlikely to happen, but i said If that ever happens they should sign and trade him, so BGK will not lose a marquee player. in my post earlier "Menk for Jay-R Reyes++" is not a 1 on 1 trade, i putted a + sign on Reyes so that means Menk for Reyes and another player(s).

this is only a rumor..2010 na kaya??hehe
