The figure below is my attempt to visualize the player trades or movements in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) for the year 2010-2011.
The solid lines represent the formal trades of players while the dotted lines are for players on-loan or temporary assignments.
- Barangay Ginebra did not transact any business even with their sister teams.
- Meralco Bolts as handled by Ryan Gregorio seems to be rebuilding and trying to find right pieces to form a winning franchise. Notice that there are direct trades between sister teams under MVP. They used conduits as much as possible.
- Air 21 is one of the busiest front office based on the figure.
- Barako Bull had exchanges with other teams where players on the rise were involved.
- Alaska, SMB and B-MEG had minimal business dealing with trying not to disrupt team composition.
- Talk N Text and Rain or Shine looks for good pieces around the league to boost their chances.
- Powerade’s player trades did not improve the team’s winning percentage.
- There were no trades between MVP and SMC teams.
There are underlying trade talks in the coming days, guess who will be involved?
