THE TRADE: Fullhouse for the ACES, KINGS losses.

“Lieutenant” L.A Tenorio has been re-ranked to “GINeral”.

Yes, after 5-team monster deal involving Barangay Ginebra, Alaska Aces, Petron Blazers, Barako Bulls and the busiest team in the trading block Globalport Batang Pier, Tenorio who was once considered a GINKINGS killer now a GINKING himself.

Among the teams involved who do you think gained the most?

One article that I have read says that Alaska Aces won the trade activity.

Let’s do comparison between Alaska Aces and Ginebra Kings who placed number 1 and 2 respectively on the survey that I had read.

Perhaps it is true, since Ginebra Kings needed heights not guards. They have already Jayjay Helterbrand who according to rumor is now 100% percent physical fit to play.

They also have The Spark, though aging, still plays like in his mid 20’s and he can bring the ball down.

Labagala and Cortez are also guards.

What the GINKINGS really need at present is a LEGITIMATE center. As of GINKINGS’ present rooster, Eric Menk is the only legit center unfortunately his not healthy. There are rumors the he’ll be playing at the PBA D-league for recovery purposes and has been offered a coaching job which means his not 100% healthy. The rest of GINKINGS’ centers are undersized for the position like Billy Mamaril, Rudy Hatfiel (plays center, sometimes) Kerby Raymundo is not really a center-type of player his more efficient in the forward position. Another point, the tallest height when it comes to stats in the GINKINGS’ rooster is 6’6”.

Compared to Alaska Aces’ situation, though they have traded the "Lieutenant" they got JVee Casio and the sweet-shooting veteran Dondon Hontiveros in return. 

Released their franchise player yet gained two players. One is still on his A game and the other  is a young guard that could still serve the Aces for years.

Center-position status?... They’ve got Ervin Sotto, Sam Emman and Sonny Thoss who are legitimate centers.

ACES Full house!

GIN KINGS...another card for "CENTER" hunting.

ALL IN?...
