Will Magnolia Trade Paul Lee For Robert Bolick? | PBA News Update Today


Will Magnolia trade Paul Lee for Robert Bolick of Northport? Lee is their star player, but after SMB traded Cabagnot and Santos, anything is now possible at the SMC camp.

Lee struggled in the finals vs TNT and was outplayed by Mikey Williams. So it would not be surprising if Magnolia were to trade him for Bolick. Bolick is one of the top guards in the league and there is no question he is wanted by a lot of teams.

However, the problem is Bolick has an offer from Japan. If he declines the offer he might be traded to Magnolia. But if he accepts then Northport will likely let him go. No point keeping a player who does not want to be on your team.

But while this trade is fair, Magnolia might also look at other options. For example they might trade Lee for Greg Slaughter. After all, Magnolia needs a big man.

But if they do this trade and it is approved, who will take over Lee's spot at point? Barroca is not getting any younger and Jalalon and Melton will likely be traded.

So these are the things that Magnolia management needs to look into. And of course, they might decide to keep Lee even after he struggled in the finals and try other trade options.

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.
