Spurs May Sign Pargo...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

i said from the beginning that the Spurs end up signing a player we either never heard of or never saw coming a mile away.

I'm pretty sure people started noticing Tolliver when he played in SL with the Spurs.

[xtremesteven33]

yea but most people did not see him being the first guy we would sign.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

yeah lying about trades is so cool

Not lying about trades is cool, but if the trade I started came true, that would be pretty cool.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

yea but most people did not see him being the first guy we would sign.

Everyone should've known that if they had shown interest in Tolliver, they would've signed him first since he's the only one that can actually get away from the Spurs.

[Mister Sinister]

I think Mr. Bottomtooth is a pretty cool guy. eh lies about trades and doesn't afraid of anything.

[Manufan909]

Yeah, because the consequences on ST are SOOOO horrible...

[baseline bum]

With the Spurs going so small, aside from scoring, is anyone concerned with how much this could limit our rebounding?

Rebounding has been an absolute achilles heel for the Spurs, but will the current roster be enough to offset that problem? Udoka rebounded well in spurts, and we still have KT And Duncan. However, I'm still concerned with SA giving up too many boards this coming season.

Second chance points absolutely murdered us against the Lakers.

Pargo and Barry are equally awful rebounders.

[Solid D]

IMO, if Pargo makes that 3 in transition to tie the game with a minute left, Pargo would have already been locked up and this thread wouldn't be here.

[Manufan909]

So this is all bull , isn't it?

[xtremesteven33]

i can definitely see Pargo in a spurs uniform.




but thats what i said about maggette also..haha.

Jannero Pargo And The Spurs: The New Orleans Hornets had made it clear that they wanted to retain Jannero Pargo when their season ended in May. They justified "selling off" their draft pick as creating room to re-sign Jannero and it seemed that he might finally get his long-term security. Here we are in August and there is not deal with the Hornets, and word is the San Antonio Spurs may have a two-year, $3 million offer on the table. Pargo's agent Mark Bartelstein told the San Antonio Express-News "The Spurs speak for themselves... It's a great place to play. They are limited in what they can do financially, but we are definitely talking to them." It is believed the Hornets are trying to see what they can do to create a better offer, but with San Antonio now in the picture in a serious way the clock is ticking for the Hornets.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

WTF that'd be a crazy ass steal. I know it's Hoopsworld, yeah.

If that's actually the deal, we'd have ~400K in the MLE or LLE left, which is pretty much nothing.

[anakha]

I think we're getting to the point that an automatic "It's Hoopsworld, leave all logic and belief in the facts at the door" disclaimer should be added when posting articles from that site.

Pargo is a polished up Hill

[coopdogg3]

And the Spurs have some negotiating room to go to 2-year/$3.8 million. If they can hook him for $3 million. They could perhaps land him for $3.8 million. But then we have 4 pgs, so I guess they're working on a trade as well.

[Manufan909]

I'm guessing if this is true, then it's Toro time for Hill. I'd laugh my ass off if Gist gets more minute than Ian or Hill this upcoming season.

, the offseason is boring.

[I. Hustle]

, the offseason is boring.

[xtremesteven33]

Potentially, in a non-jinxy way...

PG-Parker/Pargo/Vaughn/Hill
SG-Ginobili/Mason
SF-Bowen/Udoka/Gist
PF-Duncan/Mahimni/Tolliver/Bonner
C-Thomas/Oberto


my guess is the spurs will try and sign Pargo and hope to trade for a PF/C or a SG.

i guess theyre looking to move Vaughn/Bonner/Hill...maybe throw in a Udoka.
who would want those players while trading a good player?

then again we saw Camby go for a 2nd round draft pick...haha

[Ronaldo McDonald]

I can't see this going down. FA's love to tease the spurs.

[coopdogg3]

I can't see this going down. FA's love to tease the spurs.

Yeah, that's probably true. New Orleans will probably step up to the plate now and get Pargo signed.

[Manufan909]

If that's going to be it, I hope Vaughn, Tolliver, and Bonner show up to every game in street clothes. I like Bonner, but I can't think of anyone I'd bench over him. Ian better learn quick.

And I don't see Pargo happening AT ALL. A trade I'd like to see would be Tolliver/Bonner/Oberto+money for Bogut. But that would leave us short on bigs AND they wouldn't want that crap anyways.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

And that isn't enough financially. Just saying.

I have thought about this some this morning and it became so obvious....

The Spurs said that getting a backup PG was the #1 priority in the draft. They wanted someone they thought could contribute immediately and Hill looked more like that player to them than CDR or Chalmers.

But think about it....even if they take CDR or Chalmers and Pargo still comes available which direction do you go? Do you keep your rookie who is a crapshoot and may or may not be able to fill the backup PG role when the playoffs get here? Or...do you go with the playoff experienced PG who has shown he can pick up his game in the playoffs. Pargo does not need the development and CAN contribute immediately.

Hill, CDR and Chalmers may all be good...maybe even great PG's someday. But our window is closing and we need someone who is ready now.

[ceperez]

Yeah for $2M starting price, he's a good deal. Plus it would hurt the Hornets and that's also good.

By glancing at the numbers, the Hornets look like they are pretty darn close to the luxury tax threshold after signing Posey. Perhaps the Spurs know they can outbid the Hornets if the Hornets won't go over the threshold.

Something is definitely up since the Spurs have stalled before making the obvious moves of re-signing Finley and signing draft picks such as Hill and Gist. I guess part of the delay could be a Pargo pursuit.

Defnitely a good move if it also takes away a potential weapon from the Hornets.

I do like the move, he was definitely causing havoc in game 7. He could possibly do it again when it really counts.

With Pargo in the mix, we'll have a log jam of undersized guards. If we do get him, it certainly looks like Hill may be off to the D-league. Very unfortunate.
