2027 PBA Draft Pick Tracking (Titan Ultra / Converge Asset)
Hi there. I wanted to reach out regarding the recent discussion on the 2027 second-round draft pick tracking involving Titan Ultra and Converge.
To ensure the page remains highly accurate and to avoid any systemic confusion regarding the multi-team trade paths, I have updated the entry with a detailed explanatory footnote under the page's alphabetical Notes section. The note details the exact sequential chronology of Titan's natural asset—traveling from the 2022 Von Pessumal transaction to its return in the December 2023 Robert Bolick trade, and its eventual placement with Converge.
This tracking is fully supported by the official trade ledgers as well as the December 2025 media reports from Spin.ph and the Tiebreaker Times analysis ("Titan Ultra's draft arsenal could make Giant Risers the next Converge"), which explicitly confirmed that Titan traded their own organic pick to Converge in the Paolo Javillonar acquisition while maintaining the other acquired assets (Terrafirma, San Miguel, etc.).
Leaving the trail unmapped causes a mathematical paradox that completely desynchronizes the second-round draft slots for the other teams involved. Explicitly mapping it out maintains the internal consistency of our transaction tables. Thanks for your time, and let's keep working to keep the PBA ledgers accurate! ~~~~ ~2026-36457-16 (talk) 12:03, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
Titan Ultra's draft arsenal could make Giant Risers the next Converge
is not an explicit confirmation. An example of an explicit confirmation is this article by Spin that saysMagnolia acquired ... its own second-round pick next season which went to NorthPort (now Titan Ultra) in the Calvin Abueva trade.
That's explicit. Everything you have been adding is still basically WP:OR to my eyes. I will wait for the official take by the PBA on this. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 13:38, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
Tech News: 2026-27
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- As part of the Account Creation Experiments, the Growth team tested adding a user account icon in the mobile web header for logged-out users, providing direct access to "Create account" and "Log in" actions. The experiment increased account creation by about 20% without negatively affecting edit quality or constructive edit rates. The feature will now be rolled out to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on mobile web in the first week of July.
- After a successful experiment, logged-in users who did not confirm their email address when their account was created see a new banner asking them to complete that process. This helps reduce the risk that users get locked out of their account, and makes account email addresses overall more reliable. This is part of the Account Security project.
- An update to Search is refining how the
-prefix:behaves when used to exclude results. Previously, using-prefix:with negation could unintentionally broaden search results by adding the namespaces included in the search scope, leading to confusing behavior for users expecting a straightforward exclusion filter. With the update,-prefix:will now strictly exclude matching page titles as intended and may display a warning if the relevant namespace has not been explicitly selected. The behavior ofprefix:without negation however remains unchanged. 
View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where reviewers using the Page Curation toolbar were not automatically subscribed to talk page discussions they started has now been fixed. Reviewers will now receive notifications when someone replies to those discussions.
Updates for technical contributors
- Starting June 29th, automated downloads from the dumps.wikimedia.org website will be subject to the user-agent policy. Automated requests that provide a generic or empty user-agent will be blocked. Access to dumps through Wikimedia Cloud Services remains unaffected. This is a follow up to the announcement made in the 2026/25 issue of Tech News.
