    I really liked Brunson's spark off the bench. Pargo is just a fast version of Brunson, but i dont think he can shoot as well.Your thoughts?

    I'm surprised that Pargo was picked up, but pleased by the move. He's young and extremely talented, as evidenced by his impressive performance in the summer leagues this past year. I was more surprised that the Lakers let him go.

    The reason I'm surprised that the Bulls picked him up is that they have Hinrich, their pg of the future, so signing Pargo doesn't make much sense unless they feel they need a long-term backup.

    On the other hand, I think that Pargo could be easily used in a trade package, and more teams would appreciate him getting thrown into a deal than they would with Brunson. I have a slight feeling that this means Jamal Crawford will be seeing some action this summer, and i don't mean on the court.

    aww, I don't want anything to happen to Jamal, unless it's a really really good deal, unlike some of the past ones. I'm glad they got Janerro Pargo. I also liked how he played when he was in the Lakers. i didn't really pay attention to him this season though. Wasn'y he good with 3's?

    Pargo's a showboat, not a traditional point guard for sure, but he has more potential and is better than Brunson. However, this deep into the season, this signing will be irrevelant.

    Man, Pargo can ball. It was a good pick up but i dont think that he should stay in Chi-town very long because hes got potential to beceome great and it aint gonna happen unless he starts but hinrich is there. Pargo has improved his shot, his form is much much better and he has a better shot selection.

    Im afraid to trade Crawford, yes he's been inconsistent, but he will be an all-star. He will end up being like Artest, Miller, Brand and everyone else we traded that became an all-star with another team.

    Crawford, no. I do not think that he will be an allstar. sure once in a while he puts up 30+ points or has a really good game but doesnt everybody?

    Why not? He has the talent to put up 22 points 7 ast and 5 reb. He just needs to focus and become more consistent.

    I think Crawford will be a star someday. Look at Brad Miller with Chicago. When he was here, nobody could predict that this guy could have 2 triple-doubles and 2 all-star appearances. It's all about foresight, and Jerry Krause lacked it.

    Yup man the raptors picked up blount, I think pargo is good but when he was on the raptors she shot way to much for what his role was.

    Pargo has been great for the Bulls averaging 15.6 ppg and 5.2 apg. I really like this guy.

    Pargo has been killer for the Bulls, today he got 25 points, 2 steals, and 5 asissts, he's just lighting it up. We could've waived Palacioooooooooooooooooo................

    I told you guys a lot earlier when they signed him he can ball. Man i think Pargo is just gettin started i think by the end of the season he will have scored 40+ or either gotten more than 7 treys in a game.
