My Trade Target Suggestions for Alaska


(c) PBA Media Bureau
Alaska got out of the gate, blazing and glazing! They won their first four games by an average margin of 12.8 points!

Then, the avalanche to the elimination pit happened as they lose their next/last eight games. Nobody foresee that especially with the impressive play of their import, Corey Jefferson, who was making 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 51.8% FG and 46.6% 3FG per game.

Alaska may need some shake-up then. So, I am here again offering my help. Who should they try to acquire to help them win the Governors' Cup? Here are the answers. 



KRIS ROSALES
The main culprit to what happened to Alaska was injuries. In their backcourt, Jayvee Casio and Chris Banchero missed four games each. Simon Enciso, Kevin Racal and Chris Exciminiano are not good enough to handle that much.

So, adding Kris Rosales will do the trick. Rosales is a certified sniper who is sniping 47.6% from beyond the arc in his PBA career. Rosales does not have the length to be a very good defender but he has the skills and fundamental to be a good one.

He is only 26 years old so if I will be the one to decide, Alaska can offer some of their role players and maybe a 2nd round pick, for him. If needed, I will be more than willing to give up the 2018 1st for Rosales and Kelly Williams.

JONATHAN UYLOAN
One of the biggest need of the Alaska Aces is a legit 3-and-D guy. They have been using Racal in that role but his 27% accuracy in the Commissioner's Cup is unacceptable. Dondon Hontiveros is a good shooter but his defense is not even average.

How about Jonathan Uyloan? He is a career 32.8% shooter from beyond the arc and in terms of checking the other team, Jonathan is one of the best. I will not be shock if a single 2nd round pick will be enough to fry him out of the Meralco Bolts.
