Title: Jannero Pargo has drawn interest from Celtics.
Post by: crownontherocks on February 14, 2013, 04:53:56 PM

According to his agent, Jannero Pargo has drawn interest from the short-handed Celtics.
Pargo became a free agent after his second 10-day contract with the Hawks expired earlier in the week. The Hawks are open to bringing him back for the remainder of the season, but the Celtics could be an attractive fit for Pargo following the season-ending ACL injuries to Rajon Rondo and Leandro Barbosa. Even if Pargo does join Boston, he'll likely only be a role player with little fantasy value.

Good shooter... Above average quickness... Very active defender... Not a great playmaker.

He should be. Best available PG on the market right now.

I'd rather have a guard with more size, but wouldn't be opposed to a his addition.

We're too small in that position with Bradley and Terry in our roster.

A ballhandler is more necessary than a guard with size at this point, given that Jeff Green has shown some ability to guard some bigger 2s (that one caught me by surprise, I admit).

But he'll be OUR dirty punk.

I hope we get him. He's a tough kid with some skills and played big in a couple of playoff series.

Would rather have his 26 year old younger brother Jeremy, currently on a 10 day contract with Philly

Wouldn't be much of a concern to me if Doc played Green and Pierce at the 2/3 more often. Also, when Green comes in the first time around, it's usually to give Pierce his rest... that's usually when we'll go quite small in our guard rotation, so it would still be a concern for me.

Amen to that! But I think we lost our chance to sign that guy. He has been playing well for Philly, they're keeping him.
