According to PBA on the Go, Phoenix Super LPG is not done trading. They just sent Justin Chua to NLEX for Kris Porter, a 2022 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick.
Now, in his latest rumor, he said that Magnolia Hotshots and Phoenix are talking again and it could be a Jackson Corpuz for Nick Demusis and that 2022 NLEX 1st.
I am not a big fan of this rumor for Phoenix. Jackson was traded to Magnolia and a lot of people thought that he will play a big role.
In the last two tournaments, he is only averaging less than 15 minutes. A clear indication that he is not being trusted by coach Chito Victolero and I think it is because of the bad combination of bad three-point shooting and below-average defense.
So, if Phoenix will push for this trade, it will be a clear victory for Magnolia. They will let go of a player that is not playing a crucial role for their team and they will get a 1st round pick that they can work with in the future.
In short, I am hoping that this trade is not true. Although, PBA on the Go's rumor has been happening more, lately.
If Phoenix wants to get someone for a 1st round pick from Magnolia, the guy should be Aris Dionisio. The sophomore has clear potential.
Or much better, Phoenix should keep the 1st and just decide next season.
