According to the primary source of PBA rumors, one team is looking to trade three players who were looking indisposed (walang gana) playing for them.

There are not enough clues to work around so we need to dig deep to decipher which team could this be.

The first team to come in mind is the Meralco Bolts. Here is their current guard rotation. Chris Newsome - Baser Amer - Trevis Jackson - Bong Quinto - John Pinto - Mike Tolomia - Anjo Caram. If you take out three of them, the rotation will still be fine.

Amer's statistic has been pretty bad and pretty different compared to last year. Last Governors' Cup, he averaged 11.9 points, 4.0 assists and 33% 3FG per game. Last Philippine Cup, he managed 11.8 points, 1.8 assists and 30% 3FG per game. His minutes went down by 4 and his role was also changed. He is still young, so suffering a reduction in minutes and change in his role may not bode well with him. 

Nard Pinto averaged 28 minutes in the Governors' Cup. He is down to 12.5 minutes. And of course, Mike Tolomia has been at the end of the bench for some time now. 

One more possibility is the Alaska Aces. They have a good culture but they are also one of the teams that do not make changes that much. Which means, their players can get tired of their unchanging roles.

Just like Chris Exciminiano whose minutes were down due to the arrival of MJ Ayaay. Davon Potts was not being given minutes anymore. 

San Miguel Beermen is also a possibility but they are winning championships which will keep players happy.
