MANILA--Despite having Chris Ellis and Aljon Mariano and the lineup and after drafting small forward Kevn Ferrer in the recently concluded 2016 PBA Draft, the Ginebra front office seems to be saying it's not yet enough.

A recent buzz from the league's signals is reporting that the latest champ wants Blackwater's sophomore star Art Dela Cruz's services.

Sportscaster Snow Badua revealed on his Twitter account last Friday that Ginebra is eyeing Art Dela Cruz. The tweet eventually went on circles garnering numerous shares.

After hearing it, Blackwater owner Dioceldo Sy shrugged of the rumors and vowed to never let Dela Cruz go but no one could tell destiny if it ever happens.

Art Dela Cruz also said in a post-draft interview last year that he was used to be a die-hard Ginebra fan when he was young.

Star governor Rene Pardo also denied previous rumors of then Star coach Tim Cone's transfer to Ginebra before; but look at it now.

No one could ever tell.
