As the PBA season unfolds, the rumor mill is abuzz with speculation about the future of legendary player James Yap. Is he considering retirement, or is a trade on the horizon? Let’s delve into the possibilities.
A source close to Yap revealed that the former UE Red Warrior has expressed a desire to return to Magnolia for at least one last game. This suggests that while Yap is open to the idea of a final stint with Magnolia, the decision ultimately lies with the team management.
Meanwhile, the NLEX Road Warriors and the Blackwater Bossing have reportedly shown interest in acquiring the services of the 7-time PBA champion. But are these the best options for Yap? Let’s consider the top three teams that should trade for him:
3. Blackwater
If Blackwater is serious about changing their image from a farm team to a competitive force, trading for James Yap could be a game-changer. Yap’s popularity could bring a new level of attention and respect to the team.
2. Converge
Converge is a young team with potential. If they decide to tank the 2024 Philippine Cup, giving high playing time to Yap could be beneficial. Not only would they gain from his experience and skill, but they would also benefit from the marketing boost that comes with Yap’s popularity.
1. Magnolia
This is more than just basketball. Magnolia is where James Yap became James Yap. It’s the franchise that made him a household name. It’s only fitting that he should retire there. A trade back to Magnolia would be a fitting end to Yap’s illustrious career, allowing him to bid farewell to the fans who have supported him since 2003.
