Robert Bolick's blockbuster trade to Meralco was the earthquake that sent tremors through the PBA landscape. Now, dust settles, leaving behind a league rife with whispers, speculation, and potential domino effects. With the trade deadline looming, let's turn our gaze to the next guards who could be up for grabs, players whose movement could trigger further seismic shifts in the championship picture.
5. Mark Barroca: Magnolia's Mr. Lockdown is a perennial All-Defensive Team selection, but championship glory continues to elude the Hotshots. Another heartbreaking Commissioner's Cup exit could be the tipping point. Teams desperate for defensive reinforcement will line up for Barroca's services, especially those lacking a stopper.
4. CJ Perez: This might sound like a flight of fancy, but hear me out. Ginebra, the league's most popular team, thrives on star power. While their backcourt boasts Stanley Pringle and Scottie Thompson, adding Perez's explosive scoring and athleticism would be a sight to behold. Imagine the "Fastbreak Kings" with another engine in the backcourt, capable of leaving defenders flat-footed and igniting the Gin Kings faithful.
3. Mikey Williams: The enigmatic "Phenom" remains a fascinating case study. His electrifying talent is undeniable, but inconsistency and disciplinary issues have cast a shadow over his potential.
2. Chris Ross: The ageless wonder from San Miguel might be the most intriguing name on this list. Ross, playing like a man possessed, is proving he still has gas left in the tank. SMB, however, might be eyeing the future. Trading Ross now, while his value is high, could fetch them a younger guard alongside draft picks to add to their already impressive stockpile.
1. Stephen Holt: The excitement surrounding Holt's arrival in Terrrafirma has fizzled somewhat. While capable, he hasn't been the offensive juggernaut many expected.
