Spurs May Sign Pargo...

[VaSpursFan]

Vaughn should stay, but as a coach.

as long as he's not on the court, i'm good

[ceperez]

Latest word out is that the Hornet's are NOT interested in his services.

Look like he may have pissed off Chris Paul when he tried to play hero against the Spurs.

Well the Spurs tend to like hiring players who played well against them. There's a better than even chance we sign Pargo now.

Looks our rotation now looks like this:

Thomas/Oberto
Duncan/Mahinmi/Bonner/Tolliver
Bowen/Udoka/Finley
Ginobli/Mason
Parker/Pargo/Hill/Vaughn

With Gist being the odd man out! :-(

Unless it's like this:

Thomas/Oberto
Duncan/Mahinmi/Bonner/Tolliver
Bowen/Udoka/Finley/Gist
Ginobli/Mason
Parker/Pargo/Hill

with Hill, Gist and Tolliver in street clothes.

I think if anyone here knows Pargo best it would be me considering I watched him play at Arkansas in person and have been following his career since.

And what I would say is...










































NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
NoOOOOooooO

I've not read this entire thread, but my one concern about Pargo (other than how he fits with the current roster) is that his percentages are modest. He's a streak shooter. But for the money he is a good signing.

Streak shooter?

You know the noise your windshield wipers make in the rain when they need to be replaced? That's Pargo.

You know that one wet spot on the floor nobody fell from but one idiot decided to go dribble on it and lose the ball? That's Pargo.

You know the most ignorant kid in school who you warned "don't do that you will regret it" but did it anyways because his IQ is that of a marsh mellow? THAT'S PARGO.

So basically, you're Pargo.

brutaliz as always is wrong. Ignore him.

[Marcus Bryant]

How long until the Athens Aristotles offer him 3 years and $73 millions?

[ChumpDumper]

This makes me hope we actually waiting on Vagisilis Spamopoulis.

[mrspurs]

HAHA CLASSIC DUDE!!

for a second there i thought you were referring to manu not pargo......being a madman on the court sometimes has its bads(most times has its goods), having two madmen on the court at the same time, could be so bad.....its scary.......ill take the scary, cos thats how the spurs would become by signing pargo...if you look at the roster right now,(and of course all rosters are on paper) there isnt anything scary about the spurs roster.(not in a 7 games series) its that simple

[I. Hustle]

Pargo is the black Artest

[Brutalis]

So basically, you're Pargo.

You're in the NWAR area right? you know even the Hogmollies vent on how ignorant he was.

[Brutalis]

brutaliz as always is wrong. Ignore him.

Brutalis*

I'm always wrong? Please, elaborate for me with some evidence to your as always ignorance.

I find humor in someone who jumped back on the bandwagon calling anyone who posts here wrong.

[your_pimp]

No Pargo for you es, you are stucked with Vaughn LOL

[completely deck]

"stucked"

Well, at least it makes me feel better knowing you didn't do well in school, Princess--I mean "your_pimp"

Article from Phoenix regarding Pargo rumors......



Spurs to land backup point guard before Suns


If rumors are true the San Antonio Spurs are about to land a quality backup point guard while the Suns have yet to address their situation.

The Spurs are on the verge of signing Jannero Pargo to backup Tony Parker. Pargo, formerly of the Hornets, averaged 8.1 points and 2.4 assists in limited playing time last season.

San Antonio is in a similar financial situation as the Suns and have been limited in their offer to Pargo. Reportedly the Spurs are offering $1.9 million for one season.

It seems the rich will get richer. While the Suns are trying to go bargain shopping for a back up to Steve Nash the Spurs have found a viable player to fill their need. Pargo will prove to be better for the Spurs than any option left on the table for the Suns.

Hopefully for the Suns sake this is just a rumor and the deal falls through. If not the Spurs just got a little deeper, a little better and it’s become a little less likely the Suns can beat them.

No Pargo for you es, you are stucked with Vaughn LOL

OH NOZ HE BAKKKK

[timvp]

Hopefully these Pargo rumors become truth pretty soon. I've begged for the Spurs to sign him every summer since 2003. This summer I thought there was no shot because he had played himself into a nice contract. Apparently there is a shot.

Pargo definitely has flaws but he can do one thing well ... create shots for himself and score the ball. Pop has had a hard time getting his backup point guards shot happy enough in the last half decade. With Pargo, Pop will never have to tell him to shoot. Pargo ballhog tendencies would be detrimental on a lot of teams but on the Spurs, Pop would love to have another bench player who can actually score the ball.

I'm not sure why the Spurs waiting all these years to get a guy who obviously would have been a nice fit behind Parker ... but better late than never. Now just have to hope they can close the deal. The Spurs came into the summer needing scoring and a pull of Mason and Pargo with the MLE would be a nice one.

Ya, but as mentioned before, what does that mean for Hill or Vaughn and what about the other positions where the Spurs lack depth (3/4)? If we can somehow trade Vaughn and end up with a Parker/Pargo/Hill 1 spot, then that is nice.

[DPG21920]

This makes me hope we actually waiting on Vagisilis Spamopoulis.

I think if this is true, then that would be much better than Pargo. I really hope it is true.

Hornets Unlikely To Re-Sign Pargo
The Hornets appear unlikely to re-sign free agent point guard Jannero Pargo at this point in the offseason, according to The Times-Picayune.

Mark Bartelstein, Pargo's agent, said Monday that the Hornets "don't seem interested in signing (Pargo) at this point. I don't think he'll be back with them at this point."

New Orleans general manager Jeff Bower declined to comment on the negotiations on Tuesday.

The Spurs appear to have emerged as the front-runner to land Pargo.




from NOLA.com


Pargo to the Spurs?
We've seen the Utah rumors and heard the big talk from his agent, but in the end, many observers expected New Orleans Hornets backup point guard Jannero Pargo to return to New Orleans. After all, if he hadn't signed elsewhere by now, surely he would see a return to the Crescent City as a more appealing option, wouldn't he?

Well, the boys in San Antonio, who seemingly love to pull the rug out from under the Hornets' feet, apparently have something to say about that.

According to a report by Jeff McDonald on Mysanantonio.com, Pargo's agent, Mark Bartelstein, is acknowledging ongoing talks between his client and the Spurs. And while he doesn't want to confirm anything just yet, some sources are going so far as to say a deal has been (or least will be shortly) struck.

Now, I've been vocal for months now about the importance of re-signing Pargo, so obviously this is some bad news from my perspective. Others will likely jump for joy.

So what are your thoughts? And perhaps more importantly, where should the Hornets turn their attention if Pargo joins the Spurs?

Good riddance!

I'd Hate to lose him... Pay him now!
47%
He's good but he can be replaced.
40%



looks like Pargo is a fan favorite. I think so too myself. spurs sing pargo, I will be pleased!

[cheguevara]

If Spurs get Pargo. It is safe to say, Spurs stole Pargo from NO. ok, maybe stole is too much. More like "lured"
