Big Changes For Ginebra | PBA trade alert


With Aljon Mariano comnig back from injury, Ginebra needs to let one player go. And if Mark Caguioa is placed on active status, another player has to be traded as well.

Reports persist that Ginebra wants Rashwan McCarthy. If true, that means they have to release fil-foreigner so they do not go over the five per team limit. What all of this means is Ginebra is going to make big changes to its lineup. Who will remain and who will be left out?

Right now we can make some good guesses. Raymond Aguilar, Kent Salado and Art Dela Cruz are likely to be traded. But there are also reports jef Chan, Jared Dillinger and Ken Sagulo will be traded too.

It all depends on what coach Tim Cone wants and how the team performs. A lot of these will also depend on the performance of Ginebra. If they fail to defend the championship or eliminated early, then expect a revamp.

We also have to consider that other teams are getting stronger. So Ginebra will want to make sure that they are in step with SMB, Magnolia and TNT, the top contenders right now.

And Ginebra makes a move, let us not assume only bench players will be involved. Depending on how the Kings play, other star players might be included in trades.

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.

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...
