Top Rookie Will be Traded Soon | PBA trades 2021

 The PBA bubble is literally only a day old, but there are reports a high flying Fil-Am rookie will be traded soon.

The rookie will be traded to the franchise team of a top company. No names were given, but we can guess who they are.

There are plenty of athletic Fil-am rookies, but the one that comes to mind is of course Jamie Malonzo, the number 2 pick playing for Northport. Malonzo showed flashes of brilliance inhis first game, and he will only get better.

The team Malonzo will be traded to? Based on the clues that will be San Miguel. San Miguel is the franchise team of SMC, and Ramon Ang, SMC CEO, owns part of North Harbor.

So if SMC wants Malonzo, they can get him, the same way they got Christian Standhardinger and CJ Perez. The only question in most fans' mind is when this will take place.

Malonzo will probably play a couple of conferences at Northport, just to give him time to hone his skills. But it will also depend on how the Beermen perform. If the Beermen struggle in the Philippine Cup, look for management to break up
the Death 5 and bring other players like Malonzo, Bolick and Greg Slaughter.

Which of the Beermen starters will be traded? Most likely the aging ones like Ross and Cabagnot, and probably Arwind Santos, though reports are he is close to management. Lassiter seems unlikely since Fajardo needs a 3 point specialist. Pessumal and Zamar will almost definitely be traded too.

Rain or Shine Wants to Trade Belga. But Where and For Who? | PBA Trade Alert

Image
Even before the PBA bubble started, pretty much everyone knew that ROS wanted to trade Beau Belga, and Belga wanted out. To be more specific, Belga wants a max salary contract but ROS will not give it. His contract expires this year. ROS has the trade rights to Beau, so they can keep him. But why keep a player who does not want to be there? If ROS does not want to give him the max contract, they should trade him as soon as possible to get maximum value. NLEX tried to get Belga but ROS wanted Calvin Oftana in return, and naturally Guiao refused. ROS is asking too much for Beau. They need to accept less if they want him. But who can they send him to? A good choice would be SMB. The Beermen need a power forward or backup center for Fajardo or Santos. And Belga will fit the bill. Belga is not young but that is ok since SMB is always in a win now mode. And in return, SMB can ship Von Pessumal and a second round pick. ROS needs a scorer, and Von does exactly that, score. He can be a good bac...

Ginebra Planning to Get Parks and Wright | PBA trade news now

Image
Ginebra is already a favorite, but there are persistent rumors that the team wants to be even stronger by adding more players. Two names often linked to Ginebra are Bobby Ray Parks and Matthew Wright. Parks has made it clear he wants to play for Ginebra. But the situation he has found himself in makes trading him difficult. TNT owns his trade rights, and they wil not release him without a suitable replacement.  There is also the possibility that Parks might end up going overseas to play. He might follow the route of Thirdy Ravena and other players who decide to play elsewhere. The other name is Matthew Wright. There are reports Phoenix might be up for sale. Its owner Dennis Uy said he is willing to sell the company to pay debts, and the new owner might not be a big PBA fan. This uncertainy is the reason why Wright may want out. And what better place to go than the most popular team in the land? Of course it will depend on trade negotiations. But what is clear is that Ginebra is not...

Greg Slaughter to Return to Ginebra? | PBA Rumors

Image
With the uncertainty about Japeth Aguilar and Christian Standhardinger, is there a possibility that Greg Slaughter will return to Ginebra? Aguilar and Standhardinger have huge contract offers from Japan. If one or both of them accept it, that will leave Ginebra with a big problem, literally. They need someone who will man the middle.  Could Slaughter be the answer? While Christian has struggled with the triangle offense of Cone, Greg is familiar with it. The problem has always been he has never played well with Japeth.  But if Japeth accepts the offer from Japan, that could make things easier for Greg. But will Greg want to come back knowing Cone wanted to trade him for Christian? And what about Magnolia who needs Greg too? And it could be possible that Ginebra will want a younger big man like Troy Rike or James Laput, maybe even someone from the draft.
