PBA Trade Rumors: Magnolia will trade who?


Sports analyst Snow Badua recently sparked rumors about the Magnolia Hotshots planning a roster shakeup. Badua's cryptic post—"Magnolia Hotshots making a move soon. Wag lang idelay ni boss. Kaso kaka-delay nila para di magkatotoo sinasabi ko eh sila naman naapektuhan"—hints at the team's urgency to improve their standing.

While it's humorous to think teams delay trades to avoid fulfilling rumors, Magnolia's championship drought is no laughing matter. They haven't clinched a title in several years, and a roster revamp is a logical step.

Here are three Magnolia players who could be part of a potential trade:

Ian Sangalang:  Prone to injuries and with the arrival of James Kaput, Sangalang could be a trade candidate. Converge might be interested due to his past stint with the team.

Jio Jalalon: Rumors have swirled around Jalalon, but Magnolia might be hesitant. He's arguably their best player right now. When you check the numbers, Jio is their best overall player. He is arguably a top 3 defender in the team and top 3 most important part of their offense.

Calvin Abueva:  Abueva's name is a constant in trade talks. His star power could net Magnolia a significant return in any trade deal.
