Converge and Blackwater, unfortunately, find themselves staring at another offseason shrouded in disappointment. Both teams landed at the bottom of the 2024 PBA Commissioners Cup standings, eliminated and left to ponder their next moves. But rather than wallow in defeat, could strategic trades be the key to their rise from the ashes?
Converge trade Jeo Ambohot for a future 1st round pick of Northport
Jeo Ambohot, despite showing flashes of potential, hasn't quite cemented his place in the FiberXers' rotation. However, his connection to Northport, his former team, presents a unique opportunity. Converge could leverage this connection to extract a valuable asset – a future first-round pick.
Northport, known for their meticulous development of young talent, might see in Ambohot a chance to bolster their own backcourt. And for Converge, landing a first-round pick from a team known for unearthing gems becomes a gamble worth taking. Imagine unearthing the next Robert Bolick or Jamie Malonzo years before anyone else – the rewards could be substantial.
Blackwater trade Troy Rosario to NLEX for Richie Rodger, Matt Nieto and future 1st
While Troy Rosario remains a beloved figure, his struggles and impending age make him a potential trade chip. Blackwater should explore the possibility of sending him to NLEX in exchange for a package of Richie Rodger, Matt Nieto, and a future first-round pick.
This deal might sting initially. Rosario holds sentimental value, and Blackwater lacks experienced big men. However, Rodger and Nieto, both brimming with potential, offer long-term benefits. Their athleticism, energy, and offensive upside can invigorate the Bossing's youthful core. Furthermore, the additional first-round pick strengthens Blackwater's future draft capital, allowing them to add another young piece to their rebuilding project.
Of course, these are just suggestions, a starting point for conversations within both teams. Both trades involve calculated risks, but the potential rewards – a high-potential draft pick for Converge or a youthful injection for Blackwater – should not be ignored.
