Magnolia to Trade Corpuz, Melton, Picks for Slaughter | PBA News Update Today


The latest trade offer reportedly by Magnolia to Northport is Jackson Corpuz, Justin Melton and draft picks for Greg Slaughter. Will Northport and the PBA trade committee accept this?

There is no question what Greg can do for Magnolia, but he will come at a stiff price. And as shown in the recent Cabagnot trade, SMC can no longer pull too many lopsided trades. The players involved have to be close or similar in value.

In this case, Corpuz, Melton and draft picks may not be enough. Magnolia probably has to offer more players if they want Greg.

And it will not make sense for Northport to trade Greg, a big man in exchange for guards. Not unless a third team is involved and they get a big man as well. If the trade is Magnolia and Northport only, magnolia must offer more than bench players. But who?

A fair trade is Ian Sangalang for Greg. But Magnolia will not let him go since they want Greg specifically to tandem with Ian. So who will it be? Abueva? Paul Lee? Any of those trades will send shock waves in the league.

And will Magnolia let Abueva go, seeing his impact on the team? Probably not. So if the PBA does not accept a Corpuz, Melton, picks for Greg trade, we might see Paul Lee don a Northport uniform. Or Jio Jalalon.

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.
