The PBA offseason is a whirlwind of speculation and surprise, and trade rumors are swirling around the league like never before. Here's a look at the top 5 guards who could be dealt before the season tips off, ranked based on their current standing in the league:
#5. Kib Montalbo/Rey Nambatac:
This entry is a two-for-one deal. The recent failed trade between TNT and Blackwater involving these guards is a clear sign that both teams are looking to shake things up. Expect a revised offer or additional players included to make this trade a reality.
#4. Stanley Pringle:
Ginebra's recent struggles haven't gone unnoticed. While Stanley Pringle remains a phenomenal scorer, the Gin Kings' overall performance might push management to make a bold move. His superstar status and hefty contract make him a valuable trade chip, and a team looking for an immediate offensive boost could come calling.
#3. Juami Tiongson:
The recent departure of Javi Gomez de Liano has left a gaping hole in Terrafirma's lineup. While Juami Tiongson is a core piece for the Dyip, the allure of a more competitive environment and a better shot at the playoffs could be tempting for a player of his caliber. This could potentially open the door for Terrafirma to enter "farm team" mode and deal Tiongson to a contender.
#2. Jio Jalalon:
Jio Jalalon's name has been making the rounds in trade talks, and for good reason. Magnolia is rumored to be undergoing a significant roster overhaul. Jalalon's talent is undeniable, but his fit with the current Magnolia core might be questionable. A trade could benefit both Jalalon and Magnolia, landing him in a situation where he can flourish and Magnolia acquiring valuable assets for a rebuild.
#1. Robert Bolick:
There's a growing sentiment that NLEX isn't maximizing Robert Bolick's potential. Being part of the MVP conglomerate, NLEX might be seen as a developmental team for the bigger franchises. A trade to a team with championship aspirations could unlock Bolick's full potential and provide NLEX with the pieces they need to move forward.
