PBA Trade Rumors: Terrafirma top 3 players that could be TRADED in the offseason!

 

Another conference, another early vacation. The Terrafirma Dyip have officially wrapped up their 2026 PBA season with a 5-7 record in the Governors’ Cup, once again failing to secure a playoff berth. While an early exit is a familiar frustration for the franchise, the ultimate sting of their elimination actually belongs to another team: Barangay Ginebra. Through their prior trade involving Maverick Ahanmisi and Aljon Mariano, Ginebra holds Terrafirma's 2027 first-round draft pick—an asset that is now virtually guaranteed to land in the top two of the upcoming draft lottery.

As Terrafirma prepares for what is widely expected to be a major offseason reset—potentially under new corporate ownership—the front office will need to make tough decisions about their existing core. To kick off our series examining the top offseason trade targets for every PBA team, here are the top three players on Terrafirma who could be on the move:

#3. Juami Tiongson

For years, Juami Tiongson has been the heartbeat and primary scoring option for Terrafirma. He remains one of the most lethal, highly efficient guard scorers in the entire league. However, with a highly lucrative contract and proven, plug-and-play productivity, Tiongson represents Terrafirma’s most valuable trading chip. A championship contender looking for an instant scoring punch off the bench or a reliable veteran floor general will gladly pay a premium price for his services, making him an easy trade candidate if the Dyip decide to go all-in on a youth movement.

#2. JM Bravo

It has become an unspoken tradition in the PBA: local players who overperform and show star potential in a Terrafirma jersey inevitably get harvested by rival conglomerates. We just saw it happen when young talent Paolo Hernandez was packaged and shipped out in the Jerrick Ahanmisi deal. JM Bravo could very well be next in line. Bravo’s non-stop motor, defensive versatility, and high-energy style of play make him an ideal 3-and-D forward for deep rosters looking to bolster their rotation ahead of next season.

#1. Shawn Umali

Shawn Umali is one of the most uniquely entertaining players in the PBA. He is undeniably an undersized big man, but he plays with a relentless, physical swagger and high basketball IQ that completely defies his height limitations. There is an infectious quality to his game—he bangs in the post, fights for 50/50 balls, and plays with an edge that coaches love. At least one front office in the league is going to look at Umali's skill set, envision him as a high-value spark plug off their bench, and table an enticing offer Terrafirma won't be able to refuse.
