PBA Trade Rumors: Ginebra-Meralco perfect Chris Newsome trade!

The current rumor of Chris Newsome to Ginebra is not yet verified by any post from the legitimate insiders of the PBA.

It is just a  combination of Chris excitement of playing with Justin Brownlee, rumors from social media pages without legitimacy and the upcoming free agency of Chris.

But, the Meralco Bolts should still take note of the possibility and not take the risk of losing Chris for nothing in the free agency.

Now, is their a perfect trade that Meralco should consider to give up Chris to Ginebra? Here it is!

Meralco trade Chris Newsome, Raymond Almazan, Alvin Pasaol
Ginebra trade Christian Standhardinger, Jeremiah Gray

Even though Chris Newsome has a much clearer bigger role compared to Christian, I still think that Standhardinger has a much higher trade value. We saw what he did in the Commissioner's Cup. He evolved to be excellent in the role that coach Tim Cone gave him.

But, I still think that Christian is the second best giant in the PBA next to Junemar Fajardo. And he can still be the main man of a championship team.

I think Raymond Almazan and Jeremiah Gray has equal value. Almazan is one of the few 6'8 and taller in the league who can really defend the rim and can hit three-pointers. Gray's potential is really high.

Then add an Alvin Pasaol to give Ginebra additional trade value for them to accept the trade.
