Pargo to play in Russia

BEIJING – New Orleans Hornets free agent guard Jannero Pargo, a valued sixth man, has reached an agreement in principle with Moscow Dynamo on a one-year contract worth about $3.5 million, sources close to the negotiations told Yahoo! Sports.
Some details still needed to be worked out Friday before the contract could be finalized, but sources said there were no hurdles left that should jeopardize the deal.
Once again, an American-born player with options in the NBA has chosen to take a more lucrative offer overseas. Pargo is the second NBA player to sign with Dynamo this summer, joining ex-New Jersey Nets forward Bostjan Nachbar. They’ll play for American-born coach, David Blatt, who was hired to take over the team.
Pargo, 28, had developed into a dangerous bench scorer for the Hornets and attracted the interest of several teams, including the San Antonio Spurs and Atlanta Hawks. New Orleans wanted to keep him – and Pargo’s preference was to stay – but the Hornets had invested too much available money in free agent James Posey to make a strong enough bid.
The lure of guaranteed money in Russia trumped the most serious bids made by the Spurs and Hawks.
Pargo averaged 8.1 points in 18.7 minutes in the regular season, but played well in the Hornets Western Conference playoff run. He had 30 points in a Western Conference playoff Game 3 against the Dallas Mavericks, and 18 points in Game 7 of the conference semifinals against the Spurs. He averaged more than 10 points a game in the postseason.

Good news.
George Hill, it's all on you now.
Olivier Saint-Jean fan?Good news.
P.S.
Is he still alive?
Naw, I can't see how this is good news. If the Spurs are actively looking for a new backup point guard, that means they don't trust Hill will be ready.Good news.
I'd be nice if this meant Hill will be force fed minutes but I don't see that happening. It'll just mean more Jacque Vaughn. The force feeding of Darius Washington last year lasted all of about one and a half games. I realize the Spurs have more invested in Hill than they had in Washington but if Pop is already off the bandwagon (as it appears), Vaughn better start preparing for a lot of minutes next year.
Fred Jones
Gordan Giricek
Kirk Snyder
Juan Dixon
Devean George
Devin Brown
Michael Finley
Take your pick.
No, Antoine Rigaudeau fan.
I'd move on to Juan Dixon but Pargo would have been pretty damn perfect. Pop is always begging his backup point guards to shoot the ball. Pargo would have been the first point guard since Claxton who would have obliged.

Whatever...if Jannero freaking Pargo was going to be a difference maker for us next season, than it was over before it even began.
i think it's time to start a FO needs to change it's culture thread.. i know Pop doesn;t promise minutes etc and they never get their pants down for a player... but it's time to show more love to people that could become important for us to go deep enough to make it to the Finals... with another approach i think we could have gotten Splitter, Maggette now Pargo on this case... we need to show FA more love...I'd move on to Juan Dixon but Pargo would have been pretty damn perfect. Pop is always begging his backup point guards to shoot the ball. Pargo would have been the first point guard since Claxton who would have obliged.
Dang!!!! I don't blame him. The guy wanted more money and got it. Too bad for the Spurs though. He would have been a solid backup PG.
Happy. I am.
They all went for the most money. What difference would anything else make?
Dontchaknow, Sam Presti can turn water into salary cap room.
Maybe, maybe not.
Spurs could have also been really high on Pargo and considered him as a can't miss opportunity.
In Pop's mind, it could be : Pargo > Hill > Vaughn.
So it's good news that the Spurs missed out on a player that they deem a can't miss talent?
They said that?
Should I even bring up two other players I'm thinking?
To me, it is because I don't have that evaluation at all on Pargo.
ing traitor.
Man you guys should count yourselves lucky that your team has an All-Star starting PG to begin with
I have to endure another season of watching two old bald fellas try and use what little skills they have left
once less mav killer in the NBA helps
