IS an Alec Stockton-Joshua Munzon trade on the horizon?
“Yes,” said SPIN.ph sources.
After a costly foul on Jeremiah Gray while the Barangay Ginebra winger was attempting a desperation trey late in regulation in their PBA Philippine Cup knockout quarterfinal, Stockton may have played his last game with Converge.

Sources said even before Sunday's game, Converge and Titan Ultra have already been discussing a swap of players and Sunday's inexplicable foul on Gray only hastened Stockton's trade out of the FiberXers camp.
Converge feels Stockton no longer fits their system, the same way officials feel Munzon is no longer complementing Titan Ultra, say the sources.
In fact, another source bared that Converge wanted to include Calvin Abueva in the trade package, until Titan Ultra team owner Bryann Calantoc put his foot down.
Abueva used to be part of the stable of Converge coach and Pampanga vice-governor Dennis 'Delta' Pineda.
At posting time, Pineda and his staff are mum on the possibility of a Stockton trade as they plan to assess the former FEU guard's performance in the all-Filipino conference and his value to the team during the conference break.
On the other hand, a source from the Titan camp bared Converge is not the only team pursuing a trade for Munzon.
