Phoenix-NLEX Trade Rumors: Who’s on the Move?

PBA trade whisperer Snow Badua has once again stirred speculation, hinting at a potential trade between Phoenix and NLEX. His latest post featured a game between the Fuel Masters and Road Warriors, cryptically suggesting that a deal almost happened but could still materialize soon.

The biggest question now: Which players might be involved?

Potential Trade Pieces: Revisiting Phoenix's Past Rumors

Phoenix has been at the center of trade talks before, with several of their players previously linked to potential moves:

🔹 Tyler Tio – A promising young guard who has shown flashes of elite scoring and playmaking. He has been one of Phoenix’s key contributors, but could be valuable trade bait if Phoenix is looking to shake things up.

🔹 Ricci Rivero – A high-profile recruit with marketability but still adjusting to the PBA level. Could NLEX be interested in developing him further?

🔹 Jason Perkins – The biggest name in previous trade rumors. A skilled forward with a solid all-around game, Perkins would be a massive acquisition for NLEX. However, would Phoenix be willing to part ways with him?

A Fair Trade? Lessons from the Javee Mocon Deal

If a Phoenix-NLEX trade does happen, fans are hoping it will be a fair one. It’s important to remember that Phoenix sent Javee Mocon to NLEX last year, a trade that, based on their trade value at the time, was a clear win for NLEX.

This time, Phoenix needs to ensure they don’t end up on the losing side again. If they are parting with a valuable player—especially someone like Perkins or Tio—the return must justify the move.

What’s Next?

Trade talks are heating up, and if Badua’s hint holds weight, we could see a major roster shakeup soon. The question is:

  • Will Phoenix finally part ways with one of its rumored trade pieces?
  • What will NLEX be willing to offer in return?

All eyes are now on the next move from Phoenix and NLEX management. The hope is that if a trade does happen, it will be one that benefits both teams fairly—something that hasn’t always been the case in past PBA deals.
