PBA Trade Rumors: Ginebra-Phoenix perfect blockbuster deal?



I am pretty sure that Tyler Tio is the most discussed player right now in the universe of the Ginebra fans other their current players.

With his looks and with his style of play, it is easy to fall-in-love with Tyler as a fan. The guy also works hard inside the court.

Tyler has put up 11.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 43% FG and 37% 3FG per game. He is also in the running for the Rookie of the Year award.

Now the question is, will Phoenix trade him like a farm team or a legit team?

Farm Team: Aljon Mariano, 2024 1st round pick, Jayson David
Aljon Mariano is a familiar name to the fans and Ginebra can use that to their advantage. They will add a 1st round pick to paint a picture that they are also sending something with potential. Although in totality, it is not at par with the value of Tyler.

Legit Team: 2024 1st round pick, Stanley Pringle, Von Pessumal
In this trade, Phoenix still loss the deal. But, it is much closer than the farm team trade. The 1st round pick is still in the deal but Mariano is now upgraded to Pringle. Pringle is not a top 10 player in the PBA anymore. But he is still a credible veteran. Von is of course a very good role player. Add that 1st round pick and I think the value is much closer.
