The recent trade that sent Javee Mocon to NLEX in exchange for Ato Ular and a second-round pick has raised eyebrows among Phoenix Fuel Masters fans. The move has led to speculation that the team may be looking to further revamp their roster and potentially trade more veteran players.
While the Mocon trade may seem like a lateral move, it could be a sign of things to come. Phoenix has a number of veteran players who could be attractive to other teams, including Jason Perkins, RR Garcia, RJ Jazul, Raul Soyud, and Sean Manganti.
Some fans have been advocating for Phoenix to tank the season and focus on acquiring a high draft pick in the 2025 PBA Draft. With a young core already in place, adding another blue-chip prospect could significantly boost the team's future prospects.
However, there is also a risk that Phoenix may trade away some of their veteran players before the end of the season. If the team struggles to compete, they may be tempted to rebuild and focus on developing their young talent.
The upcoming months will be crucial for Phoenix. The team's decisions regarding their roster will have a significant impact on their future success. If they can strike the right balance between retaining their veterans and acquiring young talent, they could be poised for a bright future.
