Uh yeah read what you quoted. But even if that is the truth, that's a far cry from what Pop thought of him after the draft.
Or they just want him to spend a year in Austin ala Ian Mahinmi?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.

yeah, what does pargo have to with Finley?
Hill was a wasted pick, I declared that long ago, I'm glad the slow kids here have finally figured something out.

Chalk up yet another ing sign of a mishap in what is shaping up to be one of the worst offseasons in the Tim Duncan Era.
Pop thought Rasho was god too.
Who REALLY ever knows what Pop thinks.
Good, then hit the ing road.
The Spurs have been gradually going smaller and smaller. Udoka comes in last year as a smallish wing. 6'-9" Thomas replaces the 7' Elson. 6'-5" Mason for 6'-7" Barry. It's looking like 6'-8" Tolliver for 6'-10" Horry. Now Pargo, who on his own merits regardless of size, would be an excellent value signing. At least they appear to be adding scoring punch. I still smell a trade.
From getting Tau'ed for the fourth offseason straight, to Hill, to signing an undersized 2 guard, to.....ah forget it.
Pargo would be a great option for backup PG. Certainly better than relying on Hill to give anything.
One one hand this is great if it means we don't have to see either Finley or Vaughn return. More than likely, in my opinion, this another classic tease that gets pulled on the Spurs where everyone gets their hopes up and then later find out it was another ruse for player X to try and get more money out of some other team by using the Spurs as leverage.
More than likely we won't get Pargo but we will have Hill, with his confidence slightly shaken. Jesus, just admitting that we need Pargo above Hill already makes the offseason look worse.
Hopefully the Spurs aren't actually pursuing Pargo and they feel that Hill DOES have what it takes to compete right away.
I suppose if Gist is the one bright spot out of our draft picks since 2005 then there is some positive to take from this, but any doubts already about Hill does not seem reassuring.
Then Hopefully Pargo will be receptive to contracts in accordance with the 2010 master plan.
I'm guessing the Spurs are offering Pargo what they offered Najera ... 4 years and $8M.
+1
I would definitely take Pargo over Findog, he's just done.
that quote..
that guy is smoking some crazy crap.
Even though Hill struggled offensively during SL, its clear hes NBA ready defensively, and can shoot the ball. Its not like hes going to be the primary playmake anytime hes on the court. 90% of his time on the floor will most likely be with Manu on the court with the rest of the second unit.
Besides, Pargo sux
.395 Career FG shooter, and even lower last season
And only a .365 3-pt shooter.
I'd definitely feel better about the season with Pargo backing up TP rather than Vaughn or Hill.
I said it after the first couple of summer league games and I'll say it again - Hill was a wasted first round pick. He has a seemingly good at ude and talent, but not "first round come in and contribute" talent. Maybe not even legitimate NBA talent.
The FO has just struck out a lot of times recently after hitting some home runs several years ago. I'm not saying I could do better, but then again I'm not getting paid millions to strike out either.
Wha...
That's about as clear as a London morning...
Hill is a good player who probably wont fit into the spurs system. bottom line. you guys should know already when it comes to "spurs system", pop is very pinche when it comes to his PG spot. look at the Avery and Parker went through to make him happy.
looks like Hill is out of his element in the spurs system cause hes probably not a "natural" PG. but i would take Pargo as a backup and feel really comfortable about the 2nd string with us. hes a guy who can get hot really quick and will score alot of points when we are in a slump. hes also no slouch when it comes to defense either.
if we can lock this kid up, ill feel good but not great.
Irrespective of need, Pargo would be a good pickup. He's 28, plays like a Spur, and he'd be coming from a conference rival. The Spurs might as well pick up some extra talent from free agency at this point and figure out the rotation later. They could sign Finley as well to be the 5th swing using his Bird Rights.
Damn. I thought Pargo would be out of the Spurs' reach when free agency began.
This does make me wonder if a trade of some sort is not in the works.
I've liked this kid since Chicago... he's a good player, I'm guessing under the right system he can be a great contributor...
hope they get it done..
Hill is coming from a conference that is slightly better than the YMCA league and the Spurs wasted a first round pick on him. they got what they picked.
There were numerous players better than him and they bluffed and fluffed this up.
Pargo sucks, I never liked that dude.. didn't he play for LA??? They dumped his ass cuz he sucked worse than Beno..
This gets worse every day.
Me too.
Wha...
That's about as clear as a London morning...
You don't think he can play defense?
