Should Ginebra Get Matthew Wright or Robert Bolick? | Gniebra News


Ginebra needs to fortify its lineup if they want to get back into contention. And one way to do that is to get the services of either Matthew Wright or Robert Bolick. Getting both is even better, but the price tag might be too high.

Getting Wright brings obvious benefits. Outside shooting has always been Ginebra's problem. Chan is always injured and Thompson is not consistent.

Bring Wright in and you solve the problem. That also opens up the inside for Aguilar and Standhardinger to operate. So he will be a good fit for the Gin Kings.

Robert Bolick on the other hand, will solve their backcourt problems. Tenorio and Pringle are great, but they play way too many minutes and by the fourth quarter, run out of gas. That was evident in the Philippine Cup. 

If Cone does not want to use his rookies, then he should get a certified playmaker and scorer like Bolick. That is going to make a huge difference.

So which one will Ginebra take? Either way each player will require a high price. Wright is probably going to be higher since Phoenix is an independent team.

But whoever Ginebra gets, it will be a huge upgrade for their lineup. The only question is who they have to give up in return.

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.
