Ginebra Trade Rumors: A Potential Shake-Up in the PBA

Rumors are swirling around the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) as Barangay Ginebra San Miguel is reportedly considering trading some of its players.

According to sources, the team’s management is dissatisfied with the current roster and is looking to make changes. Bonbon Bomal and Jason David are among the players rumored to be on the trading block.

Ginebra’s core players, including Stan Hardinger, Christian Standhardinger, and Scottie Thompson, remain intact. However, the management is reportedly seeking to offload Pessumal and David, who have limited playing time due to the team’s deep rotation.

With the season about to start, the Ginebra lineup is already shaping up. Abbie Abarento, LA Tenorio, Ahan Missi, Joe Devance, and Scottie Thompson are expected to form the guard rotation. Jeremiah Grey will likely play shooting guard, while also seeing time at power forward due to the absence of Jamie Malonzo. Justin Brownlee will be the team’s primary import, meaning Grey may shift to power forward or stretch four.

If Pessumal and David are traded, other players like Raymond Aguilar and Jeremiah Grey could see their playing time reduced. This is not only due to the presence of the import but also because of the team’s overall depth. Once Malonzo returns, the bench will be even deeper, further limiting opportunities for certain players.

Ginebra’s potential new rotation could include Adamos and Malonzo at power forward, Aguilar and Greg Slaughter at center, or Aguilar at power forward and Adamos at center. Grey and Thompson would likely play small forward, while Holt and Ahan B would handle shooting guard duties. Abarento and Tenorio would continue to share the point guard responsibilities.

While Ralph Kasinganan is another player who could potentially be traded, it seems more likely that the team will focus on moving Pessumal and David. These players are not heavily used and their trade value is relatively low. However, if Ginebra can package them with other assets, they might be able to acquire better players.

Teams like Northport Batang Pier and TerraFirma Dyip could be potential trade partners for Ginebra, as they need guards to bolster their rosters. In exchange, Ginebra might receive bench players or second-round draft picks.

Overall, the Ginebra trade rumors are creating a lot of buzz in the PBA. If the team does decide to make some moves, it could significantly impact the league’s competitive landscape. Only time will tell if these rumors will materialize into reality.
