PBA Trade Rumors: Which team needs a 6'8 center?


 As of the writing of this article, NLEX Road Warriors, led by coach Yeng Guiao, is still undecided about the fate of Maurice Shaw.

Yes. He is a bust. He should not have been the #2 pick of the 2019 PBA regular draft. Yes. He is already turning 36 years old.

But, his physique at 6'8 is hard to find. Which team should try him?

RAIN OR SHINE
They were once rumored to be interested in Shaw. It seems like that interest already fizzled but I am hoping they reconsider because the current trade value now of Shaw is very low. They may even get him in a trade for a minimal trade package.

SAN MIGUEL
If Fajardo's health is still a concern, the Beermen will rely on the duo of Moala Tautuaa and Arwind Santos for their frontline.

After those two, the next tallest is the 40 years old Billy Mamaril. How about adding another giant in Shaw? 

MAGNOLIA
I have been beating this drum for a while now. Magnolia needs to add at least one center. If they do not want to add a starting-caliber, how about depth? 

Reavis could be a perfect teacher for Shaw because Reavis is a master in maximizing size and length. At the very least, he could turn Shaw into a respectable defender.
