PBA GOVS CUP POWER RANKINGS | START TO AUGUST 8 | MAVERICK AT NUMBER 1

When then-Ginebra guard Maverick Ahanmisi asked for a trade, he simply wanted to play for a team that would maximize his talents. He already has a championship under his belt, but that came with the Alaska Aces. Ginebra would have been a good team to join if he wanted to add another title to his résumé, but unfortunately, he wasn't used as much as he had hoped.

He's already on the verge of reaching the wrong side of 30, so who are we to fault him for looking for more playing time?

Terrafirma also gave up a possible top pick in the 2027 PBA Draft to acquire Ahanmisi, which makes his top-tier performance even more important. Yes, the trade ultimately favored the Gin Kings, but being the inadequate pawn in that deal is another matter entirely.

Now, Ahanmisi and fellow SMC castoff Juami Tiongson are playing well for Terrafirma. Yes, the Dyip need more pieces if they want to compete for championships, but if Ahanmisi values playing time and a meaningful role more than being a benchwarmer on a title contender, I doubt Terrafirma would move him as quickly as they did his brother, Jerrick.

Anyway, here is the list.
