Jannero Pargo to opt out of his contract with the New Orleans Hornets
Jannero Pargo has opted out of his contract and has become an unrestricted free agent. He had 1 year and $1.08 million bucks left on his contract with the Hornets. He hasn’t closed the door on returning to the Hornets but the price will be substantially higher than what he made last season. He played in all 82 games (7 starts) for the Hornets last season and he averaged 20.9 minutes, 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He made 40.9% of his shots from the floor, 38.8% from the three point line and 85.2% from the free throw line. Those numbers were all huge improvements over his career numbers. In his 5 year career, Pargo has played in 236 games (8 starts) and he averaged 15.4 minutes, 6.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He has shot 39.8% from the floor, 37.1% from three point range and 83.8% from the free throw line. The Hornets will probably try to re-sign Pargo who played well for them last season as long as the price tag isn’t too high.
