PBA Trade Rumors: Northport and Terrafirma is cooking a big trade?


 NorthPort Batang Pier is reportedly looking to bring back Stanley Pringle in a potential trade involving Jio Jalalon of Magnolia, as revealed by Snow Badua on his No Cooking Show podcast. Pringle, a former NorthPort star and the first overall pick in the 2014 PBA Draft, could provide veteran leadership and scoring to his former team.

For Terrafirma, who currently holds Pringle’s rights, trading the 36-year-old for Jalalon offers a chance to bring in a younger, defensive-minded guard with upside. It also allows them to frame the deal as a smart move for their rebuilding efforts.

While the rumored trade could make sense for all sides, factors like Pringle’s injury history and Jalalon’s value will play a significant role in whether this swap materializes or stays just a rumor. Fans will be watching closely as developments unfold.

Additionally, NorthPort’s interest in Jalalon could be driven by their need for a dynamic playmaker to complement their scoring options, while Terrafirma might view Pringle's age and recent injuries as a chance to focus on long-term development. As the PBA season progresses, this trade scenario could be revisited, and other teams may also enter the fray with competitive offers.
