Will Ray Parks' rumored trade request a problem for TNT? - 2020 PBA Quarantine Cup Primer

 


The Philippine Basketball Association is finally on his way to a tournament this 2020! After a lot of hiccups due to the pandemic, they are finally allowed to conduct a PBA bubble in Pampanga this October to December, 2020

So, here is the series of articles that will provide the biggest questions for each team as a primer for the possible return of the league.

Today, our focus will be on the TNT Ka Tropa. The team that made the biggest move this year. They acquired JP Erram to finally have a star center that they have been lacking after Ranidel de Ocampo's regression.

Even though they now have a star-studded squad, the team is still shadowed by the intention of Ray Parks Jr.

It was heavily rumored in the offseason that he wanted out. That he wants to play for a specific team and a lot sources pointed to Ginebra as his target.

TNT managed to dodge the bullet but for every loss that they will suffer in the tournament, the question about his desire to remain with TNT will become stronger.

Actually, even if they managed to win a championship, TNT can still expect him to negotiate for what he wants because his current contract will end this season.

I am pretty sure TNT is worried about the implication of it to their image as a corporation. One of the young studs in the league, asking for a trade. It will imply to some people that TNT cannot provide what he desires.
