The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) is abuzz with a rumor that could potentially shake up the league. Bobby Ray Parks, currently under contract with the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins, is reportedly expressing a desire to join Ginebra. This news, dropped by Snow Badua in his recent Facebook livecast, has sparked a wave of speculation and anticipation among PBA fans.
However, for Parks to join Ginebra, a trade would need to occur between Ginebra and TNT, the team that currently holds his rights. Given the recent developments in the PBA, including Ramon S. Ang becoming a shareholder of the MVP group’s main company, such a trade is not entirely out of the question. This article will explore the potential of this trade, considering the historical ties between Parks and Ginebra, his desire to play for coach Tim Cone, and the evolving dynamics within the PBA.
Stanley Pringle, Sidney Onwubere and 1st round pick for Ray Parks
If we look only at the on-court production of Ray Parks, this is easily a one-sided trade for Ginebra. If you forgot, Ray Parks produced 22.4 points, 49% FG, 46% 3FG, 7.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game in his last tournament with TNT.
Yes. The guy is actually a top 5 PBA player. Currently, he is a superb role-player for the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins. So, for Ginebra to give up a 36 years old former top scorer of the league, an undersize big and a #10 to #12 pick, is easily a win for them.
On the other hand, if Ray Parks will tell TNT that he will only return to the PBA if he will be traded to Ginebra, I think the package above is acceptable and will improve their line-up.
