Spurs May Sign Pargo...

[SenorSpur]

The problem for Hill is that he's not a PG. It's hard enough to transition from College to the Pros, and if you add he's gotta learn a new position, I think it's too much. It's not a knock on the kid, it's just truly, really hard. And the Spurs core might have another 3-4 years together, so we don't have time to waste. I think Pop probably likes his work ethic, so the kid will be around.
I wouldn't mind Pargo, if he can be had for a 2 year deal and reasonable money.

You may be onto something. Pargo wouldn't be a bad signing at all. Besides, he would go a long way to help cure the offensive woes this team seems to have.

Well, I figured something else would have to start stirring soon... It was becoming a little TOO quiet on the front...

[SenorSpur]

If this Pargo signing comes to pass, this creates a rather smallish backcourt.

As some others have already stated, there could conceivably be a trade brewing somewhere.

[knee-knee-3]

Pargo would be an upgrade over both Vaughn and Finley. Vaughn's spot, in particular, needs to be addressed. I like Hill's upside and I think he'll be a servicable player, but Pargo can fill an urgent need immediately, and you can't pass that up.

There's no way they drop Hill before he sees a single NBA minute, unless there is a highly valuable piece to be had (someone not named pargo)... Pop was too high on him, and contrary to spurstalk belief, he actually played pretty well in SL not counting his fg%. I like the idea of having Pargo around, but what really gets me going is the idea of having Pargo replace Vaughn. That's what I'm hoping for, and it makes sense to me. Vaughn's only value on the court is his hustle and defense. Hill brings that and more potential, making Vaughn replaceable. Adding pargo to a lineup featuring Tony and George could be quite awesome.

I was thinking the same about your post...

Better Pargo than nobody!

[angelbelow]

pargo is a good pick up i think, i think hes good enough to be considered one of those instant offense players.

[Mister Sinister]

Freaks of nature that have allowed the Spurs to win 4 championships. How many other teams have drafted like that? Peoples willingness to jump ship because of a story is not only alarming, but telling. It tells you what people really think. There will be no hiding now one way or another. If Hill is involved in a trade that brings us someone valuable in a position we need and allows us to sign Pargo, than fantastic. That is great value for a #26 pick. If he plays and defends well and averages 6 points in 14 minutes a game, than fantastic, he gives us as much value as everyone on AHF's list in their rookie season.

Thank you for taking my joking comment seriously.

[Biggems]

what if we get rid of Vaughn when we sign Pargo.....then sign Luke Jackson to be our 3rd SG.

We wouldnt be so small afterall.

[knee-knee-3]

I've been a proponent of bringing Finley back if no other options are available, but Pargo would be an upgrade at Fin's spot too. Fin can't defend or rebound. Pargo provides more upside.

Thank you for taking my joking comment seriously.

You were responding to AHF, so was I.

[T Park]

Nice mature, relevant, thought out take. As usual...

Yeah if I threw in a "dumb carny" comment I would be just like you.

[jcrod]

It will be a good signing, but still sucks because they drafted Hill in the first round.

Oh well, as long as they have something else going on like a trade its all good.

[Taking it to the Hole]

No way the Spurs sign Pargo,(which I still think is not going to happen) and keep Hill on the same roster. Nope, I think Pop is going to take his chances with Hill and Pargo will probably resign with the Hornets even though we can offer him more. These things always seem to degrade quickly once people start talking about them.

[Sense]

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.

What does that smell like?

[spurscenter]

i take Finley over Pargo

[benefactor]

I have never been high on Pargo as a player, but I think in our scenario it makes sense. We could get him for cheap, get rid of Vaughn and Hill could spend some time as the 3rd man back until we really find out what we have in him. He could also head to Austin for a year.

[Streakyshooter08]

If the Spurs really sign Pargo I would like it. I highly doubt the Spurs would keep 4 PGs on the roster especially if Mason also has the ability to run the point a few minutes. I like that Pargo is a decent 3 Point shooter and can score. One can only hope that Vaughn is on his way out or the Spurs are not sold on Hill really contributing right away.

I would like a little more size on the wing. Bowen is their tallest player with 6'7.We'll see what happens. I usually don't like if a rumor comes up before it is officially done. I can't remember the last time the Spurs signed a player after it hit the newspaper...

[urunobili]

i called this when i bumped the Free agent Jannero Pargo thread :cool

[FlAVaK]

Another Jeff McDonald classic piece of suckiness

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.

[MannyIsGod]

Wow - I think they're really down on Hill which is ing amazing considering they just drafted him. If they sign Pargo and don't manage to trade Hill then I don't know how you can say anything other than Hill was a bad pick.

What does that smell like?

Smells like sex

I remember RC saying, during an interview in the last SL game, that he liked what he saw out of Hill, yet he was playing too cautiously. He wanted him to simply go out and play relaxed, setup offense and not worry about making mistakes. I'm sure that, defensively, he was about what they expected. I'd be surprised if they were down on him so soon.

BTW, getting rid of Vaughn is a nice thought. However unless they cut him, I doubt they'll be able to duimp him on another, unsuspecting team.
