Jannero

Pargo

Pargo was let go by Toronto earlier this month. Paul Shirley will also be signed to a second 10-day contract.

Murray can still shoot, but the Lakers prefer Pargo’s athleticism right now.

Pargo visited Cleveland recently, and he could back up Eric Snow for the Cavs.

He’ll play third-string point guard behind Chris Paul and Bobby Jackson, which means he won’t see much playing time this season.

He has had some big games in the past for the Bulls, but they’ve been few and far between. He’s also likely to have a few big nights for the Hornets this season, but he’ll have no fantasy value.

Pargo will struggle for value if/when Joe Johnson (knee) returns after the break, so there’s no reason to get too excited over this line.

Green has not played since February 29 due to his bad back and it’s clear that the Hawks won’t rush him back until he’s ready. Kirk Hinrich and Jannero Pargo will continue to see minutes at shooting guard with Green sidelined.

Pargo will have a role in the Hawks’ rotation, but isn’t likely to raise many eyebrows -- he averaged 5.6 points and 1.9 assists this season, logging 13 minutes per game. His return takes some pressure off Jeff Teague and Kirk Hinrich.

The Hawks will let Johnson rest his knee with the hope that it gets stronger. Johnson has been dealing with tendinitis and his knee is not where the team wants it to be. Willie Green (back) will also be out the next two games, and both Jannero Pargo and Kirk Hinrich should see a lot of time at shooting guard.

Pargo has been used in a closing role in a handful of games whenever Larry Drew doesn’t like what he’s getting from his starting backcourt. There’s not enough here to make an add in most cases, but if Joe Johnson’s knee injury is serious he’ll be a guy to watch. Willie Green’s return will only complicate matters.
