PBA Trade Rumors: Rain or Shine - Converge trade suggestion around stretch bigman!

 


Remember the Jeo Ambohot murmurings from last month? The rumor mill churned with whispers of Rain or Shine trying to lure the young big man away from Converge. Smoke or fire? We don't quite know, but let's play matchmaker and cook up a trade that benefits both sides.

Converge trade Jeo Ambohot and Inand Fornillos

Converge is all about building for the future, and what better way to do that than with a potential franchise cornerstone?  Sure, they lose Ambohot, a developing big man with a nice touch around the rim. But with the first-round pick (courtesy of TNT via trade), they have a prime opportunity to grab the next best thing in the coming rookie pool.

He may not be the main course just yet, but Ambohot is a promising young big with a high ceiling. Rain or Shine needs a modern big man who can stretch the floor and protect the rim – Ambohot fits the bill perfectly. Imagine him alongside Reyland Jacobi!

A solid role player doesn't hurt either. Fornillos brings hustle and energy, exactly the kind of glue guy Rain or Shine covets.

Look, Ambohot's talented, but he's stuck behind the likes of Arana.  This trade gives Converge a golden ticket to the draft, a chance to add a future star who can grow alongside their young core.

They get their big man! Ambohot, with some development, could become a key piece for Rain or Shine's future.  Fornillos adds depth on the wing.  Sure, they surrender a coveted first-round pick, but sometimes you gotta take a gamble to get what you need.

Will this trade ever happen? Who knows!  But it's an intriguing scenario that highlights the contrasting needs of both teams. Converge sets the table for the future, while Rain or Shine hungers for a win-now piece.

One thing's for sure: the PBA offseason is a breeding ground for bold moves.  Keep an eye on these two teams, folks.  The Ambohot saga might just have another chapter.
