PBA Trade Rumors: Alaska' starting center, who should trade for him?

 


Converge had a very interesting debut week in the PBA. They ended up with three close games but they only won one.

Their offseason was very eventful as they made trades in the draft and chose two interesting bigman. Although, they also have contract disputes and one of them is still not done.

Abu Tratter has signed a contract with Converge, finally. But, we also saw Justin Arana and Jeo Ambohot got consistent playing time and do well. 

So, I do not think an Abu Tratter trade is out of the question.

Which teams should try to get him?

Northport Batang Pier
The most obvious one. Even though Northport is currently undefeated, there need in their center rotation is pretty glaring. They do not have a giant anymore with Greg Slaughter still a free agent and Troy Rike still in the United States.

What is very interesting is the excellent fit of Abu Tratter with Northport. Abu has quick feet to avoid altering the current pace of Northport.

Magnolia
With the drafting of Keith Zaldivar and trading for James Laput last season, the bigman rotation of Magnolia is actually fine now. Nevertheless, Rafi Reavis is still looming for a retirement and I do not think any of the young bigs are ready to takeover as the partner of Ian Sangalang. So, why not Abu?

TNT
Another title contender with a good center rotation. Nevertheless, the main bigman duo of TNT is injury-prone. Thus, they may want to have another starting-caliber bigman in their rotation.
