PBA Trade Rumors: Should Rain or Shine trade Belga?

 


Beau Belga may easily be the player with the longest time in the trade rumor mill. In a way, it indicates how strong the management of Rain or Shine that even if they do not offer the same range of financial rewards, they managed to keep a very popular player.

Nevertheless, they are again facing rumors about Belga. 

So, the question that we will try to answer today is, is this the time for them to let go of Beau Belga?

For an independent team in a league filled with franchises with deep pockets, maintaining financial flexibility is important.

Knowing when to be aggressive and when to lie low could help them a lot. But, we also need to consider that they are here to market their product.

They cannot let the people feel that they are already giving in to the insurmountable teams and give a reason to some people to anoint them as farm teams.

One thing that they of course should at least canvass is the potential trade package that they can get in return.

Like, Magnolia is badly in need of a starting-caliber bigman. What will they give up for a Belga? Are Aris Dionisio and a 1st round pick a potential offer?

Weighing everything, I think they should try to keep him as much as possible. By keeping him, Rain or Shine will keep their identity and have a good mentor to their plethora of younger bigs.

But, if one team overpay for him, they need to accept the offer. Like, if the offer of Magnolia is Aris Dionisio and Jio Jalalon, that is an easy yes.
