Is Vic Manuel Asking Phoenix to Trade Him? | PBA News Trade


Vic Manuel was unhappy at Alaska so he got traded to Phoenix. But now it seems the power forward may not last there either as he could be going to another team.

There are conflicting reports, either Manuel is not happy at Phoenix or Phoenix is not happy with him. Either way, there needs to be changes to the team as they had a very poor showing in the Philippine Cup, failing to make the playoffs.

Losing Abueva was big, and unfortunately Vic could not provide the same spark. Recall that Manuel only wanted to play for Phoenix to be with his friend Abueva, but Calvin was traded to Magnolia.

So now there are rumors that manuel wants to play for an SMC or an MVP team to get one last major contract. He is not getting younger after all. h is in the same situation as Beau Belga, another big man who might be traded.

However for now, there is no word yet what Phoenix will do. One thing is certain though, Topex Robinson needs to make changes to the team.

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.
