PBA Trade Rumors: Converge star wingman should be targeted by these 3 teams!

The contract standoff between the Converge FiberXers and rising star Deschon Winston has become one of the most talked-about topics this PBA offseason. While the team has expressed a willingness to talk and has reportedly offered a max deal, Winston's camp is reportedly seeking a more comprehensive agreement that includes a better structure of bonuses and allowances. With Winston still in the US, face-to-face negotiations have stalled, creating an opportunity for other teams to potentially swoop in and acquire a player with all the makings of a future superstar.

Winston, coming off a breakout conference, is a dynamic scorer and a tough defender who could immediately improve any team in the league. As the stalemate continues, these three teams should be preparing a trade offer to land the talented wing.

1. Magnolia Hotshots

The Magnolia Hotshots have a pressing need for a player like Winston. With the recent departure of Will Navarro to the Korean Basketball League, the team has lost a versatile wing who could both score and defend. Winston could step into that role and provide a much-needed scoring boost for a team that relies heavily on its veteran players. His ability to create his own shot and his defensive tenacity would make him an ideal fit for Coach LA Tenorio's system, and he could be the cornerstone of Magnolia's future.

2. Blackwater Bossing

If the Blackwater Bossing are serious about their commitment to building an exciting and competitive team, they should be making a strong push for Winston. Paired with a scoring guard like Mike Barefield, Winston would create one of the most dynamic backcourts in the league. This duo would give Blackwater a pair of explosive guards who can score in a variety of ways and create matchup nightmares for opposing teams. A trade for Winston would signal that Blackwater is ready to move on from its rebuilding phase and make a push for a playoff spot.

3. San Miguel Beermen

While the San Miguel Beermen have one of the most dominant rosters in the league, their core players are aging. The team has a strong need for an injection of youth and athleticism, and Winston fits the bill perfectly. He would provide a tall wing who can score, stretch the floor, and create defensive havoc. Adding a player like Winston to their lineup would not only make them even more formidable in the short term, but also give them a legitimate future star to build around as their legendary core begins to wind down. A trade for Winston would be a forward-thinking move that ensures the Beermen's dominance for years to come.
