I was also surprised about this news being a big Ginebra fan. They traded three players with Pringle, so it would be a pressure for the player. Northport let go Pringle, perhaps, they can play well even without him. Imagine 5 wins from 6 games. Or maybe, there's a deal between the two teams we don't know.
Meanwhile, this can possibly help Ginebra as they're slightly hanging at the middle of the standings.
