MANILA, Philippines—Kerby Raymundo, for years Purefoods/B-Meg’s finest big man, will move to Barangay Ginebra if a three-team, multiplayer deal also involving Barako Bull is approved by PBA commissioner Chito Salud.

Raymundo is the biggest name in the deal, which will also have Ginebra’s JC Intal moving to Barako Bull first in a swap for rookie Dylan Ababou, before going to B-Meg plus the Energy’s second-round 2012 Draft pick for Kerby.

B-Meg and Ginebra, which belong to the San Miguel group of companies, are using Barako Bull as a conduit because of a strict league rule that prohibits sister teams from directly trading players.

Ginebra will also give up Ronald Tubid, rookie Riel Cervantes and its 2014 second-round pick to the Energy to get Raymundo, a superstar who saw limited action last year because of a knee injury.
