Pargo had one year remaining on his two-year contract that would have paid him $1,080,000 next season. The Hornets signed Pargo in August as a free agent after he played two seasons with the Chicago Bulls."</div>I don't know how anybody else feels about Pargo, but he was always one of my favorites in Chicago. Yeah he sucked, but it was always fun to see him come in once every 10 games and totally light some team up while they wondered what hit them. I think he'd be good as a 5th guard for us as he can provide some scoring punch off the bench, particularly if rumors of Duhon's days with the Bulls coming to an end are true.
I dont think Pargo is a bad player at all. He is a decent spark off the bench and when he gets going few teams can stop him. Id like to bring him back.
I say with all the trade talks bout duhon yeah we bring pargo back.. we dont have that many shooters on the bench
He's like a super scoring spark off the bench, literally. He will put up shots and they will go through the hoops net, it's fairly simple. Id like to see him back with the bulls, I remember when he put 30 somthing up with them a couple years ago, I was really stuned and amazed, so yes it would be cool to see him back in chi town and with duhon possibly leaving I think the bulls should take a good look at pargo this offseason.

The Hornets should be all over the phones trying to get Duhon here. They shoulda drafted him in the first place instead of keeping their position and taking Tim Pickett. Come on now, he's a local guy, plays good defense (something we need in the backcourt) and would do fine as a backup. Any of you think the Bulls would have done a straight up Pargo-Duhon deal? I think the salaries would work; the Hornets are under the cap...
No the Bulls would never do a Duhon - pargo deal becuz it makes no sense. The fact that we could easily sign Pargo for next to nothing, why would we trade away a pretty decent backup with an expiring contract for a player we hardly used when he was with us. Not only that but Paxson wants to use Duhon in a deal that will actually help us get better and possible bring in a big man.
Yeah I agree. A Duhon for Pargo trade makes no sense. Yes Duhon will be traded this summer, but I think he can fetch something better than Pargo.
