Some options include bringing back Hudson, signing free agent Jannero Pargo or Patrick Beverley, or plucking from the NBA Developmental League Mustafa Shakur or Kyle Weaver. But Wall is anxious to get back on the floor and assume his undisputed position within the team. "I've got to be the leader," Wall said. "I've got to get here early, I got to be the last one to leave. I've got to speak up, talk in huddles. They are gong to hold me accountable for more things. I'm going to accept the challenge."

Demps said Green’s arrival Thursday does not close the door on the potential return of combo guard Jannero Pargo, a free agent, to the Hornets. Pargo was once again at the Alario Center on Thursday working out with about a dozen New Orleans players, including Chris Paul, preparing for the start of training camp two-a-days Tuesday. “I talked to (Pargo) yesterday and (Thursday) morning and his agent (Mark Bartelstein), ” Demps said. “We’re still in discussion and have to see what would be the right situations. I’d still say there’s a possibility he could be on our roster. But I think the ducks have to line up.” New Orleans Times-Picayune

Despite signing three players since last Friday, New Orleans Hornets General Manager Dell Demps said they have not finalized what direction they may go toward filling their vacant backup point guard spot. But one option under consideration is bringing back guard Jannero Pargo, a free agent who played for the Hornets from 2006-08. New Orleans Times-Picayune

Pargo, who is a close friend of starting point guard Chris Paul, has been working out with Hornets' players at the Alario Center. Pargo played for the Chicago Bulls last season and averaged 5.5 points in 63 games. When the Hornets won a franchise-record 56 games in 2007-08, Pargo was the top backup off the bench, averaging 8.1 points. "Pargo is a guy that we are looking at,'' Demps said. "Pargo came to town to visit Chris. He had some workouts here and Pargo came as Chris' guest. Chris talked to us. Pargo talked to us. We're trying to figure what we are going to do with the backup point guard position and we're still in the decision-making process.'' New Orleans Times-Picayune

The Warriors also would seem to have a spot for a backup point guard, but it’s looking like a longshot that Jannero Pargo will be signed. A few weeks back, the Warriors were considering signing Pargo, but ink never found paper. CSNBayArea.com

Back on July 27, I reported that the Warriors and Pargo had reached an agreement on a two-year deal for about $2.4 million. That was a Tuesday. The contract was expected to be signed at some point the next week. Still, no contract has been signed. Sources are now telling me discussions are ongoing, but the Warriors are still in wait-and-see mode. Reading between the lines: Pargo is on the Warriors’ radar, but other players higher on their wish list are still available, and the Warriors aren’t going to lock up Pargo until they are out or the mix for the others.

The closer we get to training camp, the more prices drop. The Warriors are hoping that someone who was out of their price range falls to a price they can afford. One source said the Warriors, who are two players shy of the maximum 15, could go into camp with a roster spot open, staying available in case someone falls in their lap. Another source said the Warriors want to add to the front line more than the backcourt. They want to see if they can somehow land a capable big man (such as Luis Amundson) at a good price.

But even if they do add a guard, the Warriors have their eye on a couple others in addition to Pargo, including Earl Watson. Contra Costa Times
