Backup point guards C.Duhon is starting his 2nd year out of Duke. J.Pargo is a Chicagoian and a few years out of school who played in the NBDL and stuck with Chicago when Skiles was hire late in the 2004 season and shuffled the roster to add hungry NBDL players who would hustle in pratice. Pargo is a scorer, Duhon plays good team defense in Skiles' system.
Griffin is a SF and a mid-career veteran who works hard and plays smart. He has heart than talent and he's stuck in the NBA by working 100%. Harrington is an older, undersized PF from the Knicks who played well for Skiles and has an outside shot. He and Griffin want to come back. Skiles plays his bench and keeps them in the game if they are producing.One of Chris Duhon's representatives insists the two sides are close to agreement on a deal worth about $6 million for three years. But first, Duhon's camp wants to make sure no other team is willing to offer more. The first-year point guard was expecting to visit Orlando this week.
Jannero Pargo is the Bulls' fourth restricted free agent and he's getting feelers from the Lakers, among other teams.
The two unrestricted free agents the Bulls plan to bring back are Othella Harrington and Adrian Griffin. The two veterans will most likely have to wait until Curry, Chandler and Duhon's deals are settled.
Basden is a 6-5 SG senior who plays defense, passes well and scored 15 ppg in the summer league. I never heard much about Pasalic. Basden is probably going to be a good defensive player who will let Hinrich play and defend the PG position.
The only free agents the Bulls are seriously pursuing are undrafted rookies. Guard Eddie Basden should sign later this week and the Bulls were also impressed with 6-11 Drago Pasalic, a 21-year-old Croatian, during the Las Vegas summer league.
Chandler and Curry will be courted by the Hawks. If they want too much and Atlanta offers it then I say let them go and play for a loser team in a city that could care less about BB.
