Ughhh i hope they don't
Per WOAI tonight.
Also, his agent said he and the Spurs are talking.
Speculation is that the Spurs have yet to resign Finley because they're talking to Pargo.
Ughhh i hope they don't
Yeah, for some reason I never liked Pargo.
Then again, I never liked Horry until he came here either, and that worked out okay.
I suspect BS - Parker's the starter, Vaughn has a guaranteed contract, and Hill has been talked up big (and was a 1st round pick - guaranteed money...). If they do sign Pargo, they will move either Hill or Vaughn, and I suspect Vaughn...
I call BS because who would take Vaughn.
Pargo > Finley.
maybe the Spurs are working on a Vaughn + Bonner/other trade if they signed Pargo
who wouldn't like him?
he almost single-handedly won game 7 for the hornets.
but then again, he single-handedly lost it for them, also.
but who cares.
this guy is not afraid to miss big shots in big games.
Pargo is a decent signing if you're not expecting him to play point. As a back up SG option - someone who could come in and put up some points - he's a decent signing. But I'd be sorry to see Fin go.
If getting Pargo means the Spurs don't have room for Vaughn, then I'm all for it.
I wouldn't mind him, but we're already undersized in the backcourt, so because of that then I disapprove of a possible signing.
No Freaking way....
Since the league subsidizes part of the vet min, that would lessen the actual expense of cutting Vaughn, cap hit aside. Doesn't exactly convey confidence in Hill's readiness though.
I've got a feeling Hill plays in Austin all year while Jannero plays the backup role.
Awesome news if true.
Or just that Hill is gonna be an Antonio Daniels swingman.
That does make sense. Sign Pargo to a short-term contract, let Vaughn play out his time and bring Hill up next year when he's gone. Pop seemed so sure of Hill's ability to play immediately though...
pargo > finley and vaughn
He still may.
Pargo though is a very good shooter, and is the kind of point guard Pop likes.
It would be like getting what they wanted out of Stoudamire this year, a scoring compliment to Tony off the bench. Sounds good to me.
Let me just get this out of the way....

Jeff McDonald: Spurs and Pargo?
The last time the Spurs saw Jannero Pargo, he was jacking up jump shots for New Orleans in the waning moments of Game 7 of last season's Western Conference semifinals. There is a chance the next jumper Pargo hoists could come in a Spurs uniform.
The rumor in one Western Conference front office Monday afternoon had it that Pargo was about to agree to -- or perhaps already had agreed to -- a deal that would have brought the backup point guard to San Antonio.
Ah, but not so fast.
Pargo's agent, Mark Bartelstein, acknowledged ongoing talks with the Spurs, but said his client has yet to agree to a deal with anyone.
"The Spurs speak for themselves," Bartelstein said Monday. "It's a great place to play. They are limited in what they can do financially, but we are definitely talking to them."
The Spurs spent the lion's share of their mid-level exception to sign former Washington guard Roger Mason Jr. -- another Bartelstein client -- earlier this summer. The team still has a $2.9 million biannual exception at its disposal, more than double the $1.08 million Pargo would have earned next season in New Orleans had he not opted out of his contract.
The 28-year-old Pargo, the primary backup to All-Star Chris Paul in New Orleans, beefed up his value on the open market with a solid postseason in which he averaged 10.2 points per game. He had a 30-point game against Dallas in the first round, and scored 18 against the Spurs in Game 7 of the conference semis.
The Spurs' apparent pursuit of Pargo is a bit surprising, given the glut of backup point-guards that ought to grace their opening day roster. The Spurs used their first-round draft choice on George Hill, with designs on having him compete with veteran Jacque Vaughn for minutes behind Tony Parker. They signed Mason in part because of his ability to play some point guard in a pinch.
The Spurs are one of a handful of teams in the hunt for Pargo, who still has not ruled out a return to New Orleans.
"We're trying to get to a decision, no question," Bartelstein said. "We're working on it, but no decision has come as of yet."
The Pargo-to-San-Antonio rumors remain just rumors, for now.
I'd take Pargo before Finley, that's for damn sure.
and ur a ing idiot.
That goes without saying.

1) I've long pointed to Pargo as a player the Spurs should sign. Too bad the Spurs didn't listen back when they could have had him for the minimum.
2) Pargo and Finley don't have much to do with each other. Pargo is a point guard. He's not really a shooting guard at all. Too small. He can play a little shooting guard sometimes but not nearly enough to classify him as a potential shooting guard.
3) This is bad news for Hill. When drafted, Pop thought he could step right in and be the backup point guard. If the Spurs are pursuing Pargo, that means the Spurs don't believe Hill is ready. Perhaps the Spurs think Hill needs a few years in Austin. Or it could mean the Spurs think Hill just plain sucks. Either way, something happened for the Spurs to like Hill a whole lot less than when they drafted him.
