Massive 5-day trade in the PBA .....
** ALASKA comes out a winner ..... Steven Uytengsu frowns upon players washing dirty laundry in public - like what Tenorio did after the Jones Cup win. Uytengsu has shown many times, that he wont hesitate to trade players if they malign his company in any way.
ALASKA basically made the most from a bad situation ..... they lose Tenorio & a few scrubs, but gains a great young PG in Casio plus Hontiveros (ALASKA has long been shallow in the SG position).
** BGK comes out a winner ..... somewhat.
They lose E. Villanueva - a player who has long been groping for form (after leaving Yeng Guiao) ..... but gains a top PG in Tenorio.
Only question now ..... they have 3 lead PG's in Tenorio, Cortez & Helterbrand ..... they also have reliever PG Labagala ..... Caguioa also plays PG on occasion ...... plus, they drafted 4 PG's from the recent rookie draft !
Is Team Manager Samboy Lim planning to start a security agency ?! ...... seriously, I think Cortez will be traded away soon.
** PETRON is a winner, since they got what they needed the most ..... unload players to ensure minutes for their young core of SG's in Lutz, Lassiter, Mallari, Yeo, Duncil & even Miranda.
Wesgon & Thiele will likely end up with their ABL team ..... to be used for future lopsided deals with Bert Lina teams.
** GLOBAL PORT ..... what where they thinking when they made this trade?
JV Casio is a franchise PG ..... they trade him away for an aged, nervous-wreck-in-the-4th quarter Willie Miller.
It's unlikely that they get a franchise player with the 2014 pick they got, since BGK will surely place high in the year-end standings ...... besides, by 2014, projected blue-chippers Slaughter, Banchero & Pringle are already set to be taken by either ROS or an SMC team.
** BARAKO BULL ...... no true fan of the sport, should pay attention to what Bert Lina does with trades and picks.
