TRADE RUMORS! Almazan is next to go?

Jericho Cruz may not be the last Elasto Painter to change team  before the end of this month. The number one source of PBA rumors is throwing some hints, that the crack of the relationship of Raymond Almazan and coach Caloy Garcia is getting bigger.

The last straw was related to their game against Globalport. Raymond Almazan was benched and there is a big chance that, that was related to his rift with coach Caloy.

If that is the case, the ownership may need to choose between the coach and the player. It could be easy to say, that they will choose Almazan. Because of what he had shown all throughout his time with the franchise.

And the fact that it is not easy to find a big who is as tall as him, who can shoot from beyond the arc and block shots. 

But.

I will not be shock if they value coach Caloy more, because of his loyalty to the team. The fact, that he was more than willing to be an assistant coach under coach Yeng for several years will be a huge factor. 

And Almazan's number this season is underwhelming. 7.0 points, 42.4% FG, 1.0 assists, 1.6 blocks and 4.2 turnovers! That is a player that is worth trading, right?

For a center to reach that number of turnovers in less than 20 minutes of average play, is unbelievable.

I am not hearing any talks about offers for him, so there is a chance that he is not yet on the table. 

Or, no team wants him.

And the reason for that?
