Pargo’s demands are going to have to wait

Hornets reserve guard Jannero Pargo isn’t going to find a better situation that the one he’s at in New Orleans. Anywhere he goes, he will be a backup and there has to be some value to playing with Chris Paul and being part of a situation that could turn out to be something special in the next five years. The only problem is he’s looking for a three year deal and although he’s a nice player, there are a lot of backup guards out there. The Hornets are really going to have to be happy with a bench whose top player is Pargo if they give him the three-year deal now. That’s not exactly a bench that is going to strike fear in the opposition. They’ll still need somebody else. That’s why they’re going to have to find their main guy first before they can think about what kind of backup point guard they want. There are probably a few veteran backups out there that would love to play with Paul -- Tyronn Lue comes to mind. He and Pargo are virtually the same player and are both shopping themselves elsewhere. The Hornets could take the one with the least financial burden after finding a big gun to come off the bench, which, actually, they already have in Bonzi Wells.
