Spurs to land backup point guard before Suns

pargo.jpgIf rumors are true the 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.

    Not to mention, Pargo’s a Suns-killer. In his last 3 games against the Suns last year, he averaged 21 points per game off the bench. He’s a major upgrade over Jacque Vaughn, but then again so am I. He can play the two as well.

    I am with Vince. This kid kills the Suns. You would think they would go after him. Guess they are focused on bringing in Dragic but I see no hope there. We will see.
