PBA Coach to be Replaced | PBA news and rumors

 


A PBA coach is on the verge of losing his job. That is if his team fails to make the playoffs.

There are only three possible candidates we see here. Pio Jarencio of Northport, Johnedel Cardel of Terrafirma and Nash Racela of Blackwater.

It seems unlikely that Blackwater will fire Racela though. He had just been appointed to the position, so they will probably give him time to adjust. Plus the way Blackwater is playing it seems like they are tanking to get the number one pick in the next draft.

As Cardel, Terrafirm is indeed struggling like Blackwater. But as some have pointed out, you can put any coach in TerraFirma and they will struggle too, given the team's penchant for trading away their best players and draft picks.

That leaves us with Pido Jarencio. Unlike Terrafirma and Blackwater, Northport has a solid lineup with Slaughter, Bolick, Malonzo, Anthony, Ferrer, Rike etc.

But they are struggling right. Actually they had prboelsm last conference where they ended up with a 1-10 record despite having Christian Standhardinger on the team.

While Northport is considered a farm team, they are more competitive than TerraFirma and Blackwater. With that lineup they should be competing in the playoffs, if not the championship.

so it will come as no surprise if indeed Pido Jarencio gets fired if orthport has another subpar conference. And if that happens, expect trades to follow suit.

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...
