So, we finally have a rumor regarding Calvin Abueva. I am pretty sure you already saw through a meme or heard from your friends that Snow Badua, the famous PBA trade rumor whisperer, tweet that Abueva is now on the trade block.
The big question now is, which teams should make an offer for him.
NLEX
The reason is obvious. If there is a coach that can tame Calvin, it will be coach Yeng Guiao. If there is a coach that has more brutal aura than Calvin, that will be coach Yeng. There is also a pretty sweet deal that Phoenix may want from NLEX. I am talking about Kevin Alas, the son of coach Louie Alas.
I expect the ten possible destinations of Calvin to be careful about him that I do not think they will offer a respectable package for him. A swap of Kevin and Calvin is fair because the controversies surrounding Calvin will be equalized by the injury concerns of Kevin and the better impact of Calvin.
GINEBRA
I am worried that going to Ginebra will actually increase the bad behaviors of Calvin because Ginebra fans will put fuel into it. Nonetheless, I trust the pedigree of coach Tim Cone. I am pretty sure Calvin will respect him and Ginebra has a lot of legends that can help tame Calvin.
Ginebra and Phoenix may work out a deal surrounding Greg Slaughter and Calvin Abueva. I am talking about Phoenix adding a 1st round pick and maybe even more to get the biggest player in the league.
RAIN OR SHINE
Rain or Shine is a dark horse candidate. So, do not count them out. Why?
The Elasto Painters have a very deep roster. They can wait for the suspension of Calvin to finish and they will be fine. They also have a good culture that can help out a Calvin Abueva. Add the fact that Phoenix may not want to work with the conglomerates and you have a good candidate in Rain or Shine.
