TerraFirma to Trade Juami Tiongson to Ginebra? | PBA trade


After Juami Tiongson led Terrafirma to two upset victories over SMB and Ginebra, Kings coach Tim Cone revealed in an interview that Ginebra tried to trade for Juami last season, but Terrafirma refused.

Now with the way Juami is playing, many believe the Gins will try to get him again. The reason is simple, Ginebra needs a backup point guard. 

Tenorio and Pringle are solid, among the best in the league. But Cone usually plays them together, so who will sub for them?

There is Kent Salado, Brian Enriquez and MJ Ayaay. But these guys have not gotten a lot of playing time, which could be because Cone is not impressed with what he sees.

So now he is looking at Tiongson. Obviously he will be a major upgrade and a fine backup for Tenorio or Pringle. But this is going to cost Ginebra since his value has gone up.

And it will look bad for Terrafirm if they trade him. Already they are being labelled a farm team. And if they trade their top point guard to an SMC team, this will solidify the fans' suspicions.

So if Ginebra really wants to get Juami, they have to offer something substantial in return. If Gnebra does that, then they might actually get jaumi Tiongson and have that solid shooter Cone has been looking for.

Magnolia to Trade Kyle Pascual to Blackwater | PBA trades 2021

Image
Blackwater is said to be interested in Magnolia backup big man Kyle Pascual. And the team might be willing to offer a draft pick or player. We all know that Magnolia is in need of a big man. So it is unlikely that they will trade Pascual unless they are getting a first round pick or a big man. Blackwater is not going to give up their 1st round pick for Pascual obviously. As for bigs, they have Kelly Nabong, Marion Magat, David Semerad and Andre Paras to name a few. After everything that happened at SMB, it is doubtful SMC will want Nabong again. So maybe Magnolia will accept Semerad or Paras for Pascual. More likely if the trade happens it will be Semerad, not Paras. Paras is just a rookie and Blackwater will want to keep him and see how far he can go.  Of course if the rumors are true that Magnolia will get Gerg Slaughter soon, they can trade Pascual even for a guard. Exactly who will depend on the negotiations, but even though Blackwater is struggling, there are players there who...

TerraFirma Wants Prince Caperal of Ginebra | Ginebra Trade

Image
TerraFirma reportedly wants Ginebra backup big man Prince Caperal. But it is unclear who they will give up in return, or if the Gin Kings will agree. Terrafirma has been battered by injuries, and having someone like Caperal can certainly help them. But is it a good idea for Ginebra to trade him? Caperal had a breakout last season and won most improved player. But his playing time has gone down with the arrival of Christian Standhardinger. Caperal would definitely get more playing time if he was at TerraFirma, a team that needs a big to pair up with James Laput. And if Caperal were to leave Ginebra, that could give more playing time for rookie Ken Sagulo, who has been languishing on the bench. Such a trade will benefit Caperal and Sagulo. Look at Troy Rike and James Laput. When given playing time, they have shown they can deliver the goods.  But it all depends on who Ginebra gets in return. It cannot be Rashawn McCarthy because they would pass the number of fil-foreigners allowed pe...

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.
