PBA Trade Rumors: Converge wants to trade for another top draft pick?

The PBA offseason is heating up, and cryptic comments from analyst Snow Badua have sparked trade rumors. During his recent "NO COOKING SHOW PODCAST," Badua's interview with Converge FiberXers general manager Jacob Lao hinted at the team's interest in acquiring the #2 overall pick currently held by Blackwater Bossing.

This speculation aligns with previous rumors suggesting Converge's ambition to build a contender capable of challenging the league's giants like San Miguel and the MVP Group franchises. With the #1 pick already secured, acquiring the #2 pick would significantly bolster their young core.

Adding another top rookie to their ranks would further solidify Converge's commitment to long-term success.  Intriguingly, Thirdy Ravena, a highly coveted International league free agent, is also entering the mix.  News broke that he'll be playing for the Strong Group in the upcoming Jones Cup, for a team sponsored by Jacob Lao's father. This connection between Ravena and Converge's ownership fuels speculation about a potential future landing spot for the talented guard.

While these are just rumors at this point, the PBA offseason promises to be action-packed. Converge's aggressive pursuit of top talent and the Thirdy Ravena situation are storylines to watch closely.  Will Converge pull off a blockbuster trade for the #2 pick? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the race for supremacy in the PBA is heating up.
