What if Terrence Romeo and LA Tenorio Switch Places?
One thing’s for sure, Terrence Romeo wants to be traded, the question now is will Global Port management grant his wish?
Trading Romeo
Is very likely. Now that Global Port management themselves have confirmed that the request has been sitting on their lap since the mid year of 2017. While both parties may have all the intention to part ways, everything will still hinge on the right offer among other things.
We heard of the rumors about Meralco Bolts potentially sending Chris Newsome and Amer. We also got some news on Star Hotshots potentially making a run by offering multiple players that includes Marc Barroca or Jio Jalalon and while these teams provided such interesting offers, we were wondering what if Ginebra joins the bid?
Ginebra Needs Youth in the Guard Spot
Ginebra’s back court is great but it is aging, especially in the point position were their leading star LA Tenorio is already at 33. Now, don’t get us wrong, Tenorio is still at the top of his game especially after winning another championship and becoming the finals MVP, again.
Tenorio, while on the surface is still looking great, he had suffered a number of injuries already and the recent that he had to endure was an elbow injury. If you ask me, this could be the final year that Ginebra could get a good return for their floor general and if I am Ginebra, I would take advantage of the opportunity while his stocks are still high.
Prime, Young and Ready Romeo
At 25, Romeo is already a superstar and the face of PBA. Having Romeo wearing the Ginebra jersey will make the even more huge following of Ginebra even greater, but that’s the least of the concern. Ginebra just recently lost Jayjay Helterbrand due to retirement, soon Mark Caguiao will follow. Sol Mercado and LA Tenorio isn’t anymore younglings and Scottie isn’t really a natural point guard. Terrence will ensure continuity in a high level in the point position. Like Tenorio, he can score at will and can make difficult shots when needed.
Romeo, however, may not have the same mental toughness as Tenorio and this is why a stint with one of the greatest coach and mentor would be good for Terrence Romeo. Tim Cone could whip Romeo to
becoming a great leader and a more focused player.
becoming a great leader and a more focused player.
What’s in it for Global Port?
Ofcourse, Global Port needs to get something in return and LA Tenorio alone may not suffice so Ginebra may need to throw in a first round draft pick, after all LA Tenorio might be on the edge of his peak at 33.
Global Port Batang Pier needs a winner and this is exactly what they will get if they trade for Tenorio.
A champion, an MVP and a real motivator that Terrence Romeo is not, at least not yet. This attributes take time to develop and with experience with different teams, he will bring in a culture of winning to a team that badly needs one.
LA Tenorio with Stanley Pringle could also work better as Tenorio is a much more willing passer but can still hit big shots when needed. Ball rotation will certainly improve and other players could get an opportunity to shine.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
If a Standhardinger trade happened then this trade could happen, too. We are not saying that there is a current offer in place but we are just offering potential trade scenarios that could benefit both sides.
