Terrence Romeo is Going to Ginebra | PBA news Ginebra


According to the latest report from Snow Badua, Terrence Romeo, SMB leading scorer, is indeed going to Ginebra. It is only a matter of time. The question is, who will be traded for him?

SMB and Ginebra are sister teams so they cannot trade directly. If Ginebra wants Romeo, another team has to act as a conduit. And the talk going around is that it will be Northport.

The scenario is Bolick to SMB, Romeo to Ginebra and either LA Tenorio, Scottie Thompson or Ginebra picks for Northport. However this is not yet etched in stone.

It is difficult to see Romeo fitting into Cone's triangle system. Reuniting him with Pringle isn't a good idea either. They played together in Globalport and got nowhere. 

And SMB is not going to give up their leading scorer for nothing. Maybe they will give him up for Bolick. But suppose SMB wins the championship? Will SMB management really tinker with their lineup? They might be willing to trade Ross or CAbagnot, but Romeo?

And what about Northport? It will not look good if they give up Bolick for bench players and the PBA will be criticized again. Bolick for Thompson might be fair, but we cannot see Ginebra trading Scottie knowing how popular he is. 

Nevertheless Snow seems certain of this, so we have no choice but to wait and see.

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...
