Person of interest: Jeremy Pargo
By Jeff McDonald
We here at Courtside continue our sporadic look at players the Spurs have auditioned in pre-draft workouts with a look at Gonzaga point guard Jeremy Pargo.
The name Pargo should sound familiar to Spurs fans. Last offseason, the Spurs made a free-agent run at his older brother Jannero. With Jannero Pargo's contract with the Russian club Dynamo Moscow up, that is a name that could come around again this offseason.
In the meantime, the Spurs will take a gander at the other Pargo.
Jeremy Pargo played four years at Gonzaga, establishing himself as one of the top point guards in the college game. Projected to drop into the second round, he has "sleeper or bust" written all over him.
Unlike the player previously previewed in this space, Ben Woodside, Pargo does have an NBA body -- 6-foot-2 and a stocky 220 pounds. He has an explosive first step, is an excellent penetrator and would be one of the more athletic players on the Spurs roster right now. In that, he is like a poor man's Tony Parker, back before Parker developed a steady mid-range game.
That is the upside of Jeremy Pargo.
The downside? Though he was listed as a point guard in college, Pargo spent much of his time playing off the ball. He's big for a point guard, but is probably too short to play the "2" at the NBA level. Much like George Hill, Pargo is a wing player trapped in a point guard's body, and will have to spend his rookie season learning how to run an NBA team.
With Hill still a work in progress, it is unlikely the Spurs would want two identical projects on their roster at the same time.

Not the main article, but try to scroll down and see one of the news tidbits. It says:
"One thing that's not in doubt: The Wizards are actively dangling the fifth pick for a starting veteran. They are said to have contacted San Antonio to find out about the availability of Manu Ginobili, but that rumor was quickly shot down by both sides. The Wizards may also try to make a run at unrestricted free agent forward Shawn Marion (Toronto) or guard Ben Gordon (Chicago)."

Not really sure how reliable the source is, but I've heard the SPURS have given this guy an offer. He's a free agent in the Euroleague.

Spurs going Greek? Not so fast
By Jeff McDonald
Perhaps by now you have read this unfortunately translated report out of Greece, intimating that the Spurs have offered a three-year deal to Euroleague star Yiannis Bouroussis.
Perhaps your imagination has already begun to run wild, and you have begun to ponder the implications of a taller, younger version of Luis Scola with 3-point range lining up with Tim Duncan through 2012.
One problem with this scenario: At this point in the offseason, it is against NBA rules for the Spurs to have offered anybody anything. In fact, it is against NBA rules for the Spurs to even contact Bouroussis or his representatives, and will be until July 1.
So we can tell you, without much mental gymnastics, that the Greek report is incorrect. Or at best premature. The Spurs have offered Bouroussis nothing. Yet.
That's not to say Bouroussis, the 6-foot-11 star center for the Greek team Olympiacos, is not a bright blip on the Spurs' radar. They scouted him at the Euroleague Final Four last month, where he performed well for a Spurs contingent that included general manager R.C. Buford, assistant GM Dennis Lindsey and coach Gregg Popovich.
It wouldn't be surprising, after July 1, to see the Spurs tender Bouroussis an offer. We'll have to wait and see.
