Two guys I never wanted to see ever again. Why Garpax, why?

Quote:

Bulls add Pargo, Lucas III

By Sports Network
The Chicago Bulls signed guards Jannero Pargo and John Lucas III to undisclosed contracts on Sunday.

Pargo, a Chicago native, played for the Bulls from 2003-06 and saw action in 63 games for the club in the 2009-10 campaign. The seven-year NBA veteran put up 13.5 points per game in his first year with Chicago, but has not averaged double digits since.

In 379 career NBA games, the 6-foot-1 guard has logged 6.6 points, 2.0 assists and 1.5 rebounds in nearly 16 minutes per contest.

Lucas, the son of former NBA player and coach John Lucas, played two games for the Bulls earlier this season, last seeing action in a game against the Philadelphia 76ers on December 21. The Oklahoma State product played in 60 games for the Houston Rockets from 2005-07 and owns career averages of 3.0 points and 0.7 assists.

listened to KC Johnson on M&H on the way to work this morning; he said it's basically just to get more practice bodies and that there would have to be significant injuries for either to see any time.

I would have rather see Rick Brunson as player/coach than either of these guys.

Interesting bit on why signing Pargo/LucasX3 was done per Sam Smith. Kind of helps put in perspective the $$ Bulls have to work with in the upcoming couple of years.

Bulls add Pargo and Lucas, but why?

-- Jannero Pargo and John Lucas III? Huh? Or something like that I’ve been asked since the Bulls announced their signings Sunday. Actually, it’s a very clever move if it is what I think it is. I wish I would have thought of it. The Bulls are going to have a very difficult time coming out of this next labor agreement—whenever that is—of improving their roster. Their likely won’t be another mid-level exception as league records show it to be the most egregious of contracts for money versus production. And with the extension for Derrick Rose, the Bulls would be way over whatever cap figure the NBA comes up with having four eight-figure annual players in Rose, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah.

So this is what I think the Bulls did. I don’t expect either Lucas or Pargo to play, given C.J. Watson has been adequate as a point guard backup and coach Tom Thibodeau has made it clear in the non-use of Rasual Butler he is going with the guys who got the team to this point. I expect Pargo and Lucas to be inactive the rest of the season, though they are playoff eligible in case of an injury. They agreed to non-guaranteed deals, similar to Keith Bogans’ contract, though for less money. So this is what the Bulls can do after July 1 to get a player. The thinking around the NBA is the new labor deal may force teams to shed some players like we saw in the NHL. The Bulls could build up, effectively, a $5 million form of a trade exception with the non-guaranteed contacts of Bogans, Lucas and Pargo, and if the rules remain similar, perhaps have the 125 percent so-called fudge factor in trades. The Bulls then could absorb a player making $5 million and the team giving him up could then cut the players they get back as the Bulls would likely throw in some incentive, like a draft pick. For about $5 million, you can get a quality starter and it would be just for these pieces. Otherwise, the Bulls would be in no position to add that kind of player. There’s no guarantee, obviously, but it potentially puts the Bulls in position to add a higher level talent than they would have been able to under what everyone expects the new rules to be. Not bad.
