Talk ‘N Text and GlobalPort continued to be active players in the off-season and has struck to a deal to swap forward Jay Washington for guard Denok Miranda.

The papers for the one-on-one deal has been sent to the PBA Office in Libis, but with the Ninoy Aquino Day on Friday, the transaction is expected to be approved either in Saturday or Monday.

Washington will be making his second stint with the Batang Pier, after suiting up for the team from June 2013 to September 2014.

He averaged 7.0 points and 3.9 rebounds with Talk ‘N Text last season.

Washington joins Joseph Yeo and Jervy Cruz as GlobalPort’s latest acquisitions and is expected to backstop the two-headed attack of Terrence Romeo and Stanley Pringle.

Miranda, meanwhile, will be on his sixth team in 10 years with the Tropang Texters.

He netted 7.3 points, 2.1 assists, and 2.0 rebounds for Barako Bull last year. CFC
