According to the official Yahoo Sports twitter feed, Jannero Pargo met with the Chicago Bulls’ front office today.

Jannero Pargo met with Bulls today about filling in for some of Ben Gordon’s lost scoring, his rep confirmed. “Great meeting,” agent said.

Jannero Pargo will do very little to fill in for Gordon’s lost scorer. Pargo really isn’t a very good scorer. He has a career scoring average of 6.9 points on a dreadful 47.8 TS%. Pargo sucks most nights that he’s on the court.

But what’s nice about Pargo is that he has that special ability to score in bunches. Jannero Pargo actually put up one of the most impressive scoring runs in NBA history in a Bulls uniform. In Game 5 of the 2005 NBA Playoffs, the Bulls trailed the Wizards 108-98 with 41 seconds left in the game. At that point, Pargo subbed in for Chris Duhon. Pargo went on to score 9 points in a 34 second span, tying the game up at 110 points a piece. This great performance has been largely forgotten by Bulls fans, because on the very next play, Gilbert Arenas hit the game winning buzzer beater over Kirk Hinrich.

I like Pargo as an end of bench guy for this team. But to think that he will replace Gordon in anyway is laughable. Pargo will go on massive scoring runs a few times a season, while Gordon seemed to go on massive scoring runs every other game. Gordon played consistently at a high level, while Pargo consistently has played poorly.

Nonetheless, Pargo would be a good, cheap pickup for the Bulls to play some spot minutes at the point guard position.

The Bulls forward sits down with Sarah Spain to go over his home/road preparation, favorite stadium to play in, and Gilbert Arenas’ blog.

The Chicago Bulls defeated the Phoenix Suns 100-83 at the United Center last night. The Bulls are now 3-0 at home and 3-3 on the season.

Shaquille O’neal and Matt Barnes did not play for the Suns.

The Bulls held the Suns offense down with their suffocating defense. Kirk Hinrich led the Bulls defensive effort by shutting down Steve Nash. Kirk Hinrich finished the game with 5 steals.

Hinrich left the game with a wrist injury. He is having an MRI today and is doubtful for today’s game against the Cavaliers.

Vinny Del Negro moved Kirk Hinrich into the starting lineup. Aaron Gray also was moved into the starting lineup.

Off the bench, Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah both had good games. Tyrus Thomas had 14 points and 7 rebounds and Joakim Noah had 9 points and 14 rebounds. Noah struggled with his free throw shooting.

The story of the game for the Bulls was the great play of guards Derrick Rose and Ben Gordon. Rose finished with 18 points and 6 assists and Gordon finshed with 23 points and 6 assists.

The two players split point guard duties throughout the game. This was great to watch as the Bulls were able to get different offensive looks. Ben Gordon played more of the Gilbert Arenas point guard role while Derrick Rose playe a Dwyane Wade/Young Steve Francis type of role.

Each player takes a lot of defensive attention off of the other, allowing them to effectively operate one on one. There are very few players that can guard Rose or Gordon one on one in the NBA.

Derrick Rose also looked for Ben Gordon out at the three point line whenever he drove the ball.

This has been one of the Bulls’ biggest weaknesses, that they cannot effectively find Gordon for those open three point shots. When Deng, Thomas, Noah, Gray, or Gooden have the balls, Gordon will be wide open for three somewhere on the court, but none of these players possess the court vision to pass to Ben. Well that, or they think that Ben has already taken his fair share of shots. It’s really nice to see a player like Rose feed it to Gordon like that.

Ben Gordon also had another great defensive performance. If the early trend keeps up, we will be able to officially dub Ben Gordon a good defender in the NBA.

Derrick Rose and Ben Gordon already look like one of the best backcourt duos in the NBA. It’ll be exciting to see how great they can be when Rose has had a few more years of seasoning in the league and is, I would assume, a much better player than he is now.

A very good win for the Bulls. The Bulls take on Cleveland tonight at the United Center.

Sam Smith is back with a vengeance in his writing for Bulls.com. When Smith said that the Bulls have no right of prior approval he was telling the truth, as he starts off by dropping two rumors in his first article. It is great to have Sam Smith back writing about the Bulls, and I look forward to his writing all season long.

The first rumor is about a potential Larry Hughes trade.

That injury to Larry Hughes was unfortunate. Of course, the joke going around with the Bulls crowded backcourt is the unfortunate part is it wasn’t longer. But it may have been unfortunate for a bigger reason. I heard the Washington Wizards, with Gilbert Arenas out probably half the season, have been looking for ways to hold it together until then and have interest in Hughes. There supposedly were some talks with Etan Thomas (scheduled to start the opener as a showcase?) leaving Washington. There’ll still be $6 million for the Wizards to make up, and perhaps that would include Darius Songaila, whom the Bulls liked when they had him. I heard the Bulls had talks this summer for the Wizards’ Oleksiy Pecherov in a multi-team transition, but that faded. This one makes some sense for both teams and might be workable if Hughes can return from his shoulder injury quickly. He has his beat seasons in Washington and remains close with Arenas. The Bulls desperately need to unclog their guard logjam to give Derrick Rose more opportunities. Thomas never has worked out in Washington and rookie JaVale McGee, the Chicagoan, has been a pleasant surprise for the Wizards.

This makes a lot of sense. I found the Bulls originally cutting Michael Ruffin to be very suspicious, and had the hunch that the Bulls had agreed to a trade but it fell apart at the last minute. Something like Larry Hughes for Etan Thomas, Darius Songalia, and another player (Oleksiy Pecherov) would have required the Bulls to have 2 open roster slots, which the Bulls created when they cut Ruffin.

The second rumor is in regard to Eddy Curry.

So the Bulls need a big man in the middle, a post presence who can draw a double team and just over a season ago was averaging about 20 points per game. Well, Eddy Curry can be had. Been there, endured that. The former Bull has been banished by new coach Mike D’Antoni, and few survive those banishments. One of D’Antoni’s major issues leading to leaving the Suns was his refusal to play much more than an eight-play rotation. Once he settles, he’s pretty much done. So Curry is. Plus, D’Antoni likes Jared Jeffries, injured again, and when he returns he’ll get the D’Antoni treatment by playing inside as D’Antoni enjoys showing his critics, who say he’ll never win, they don’t know what the heck they are doing as he believes Jeffries always played out of position on the perimeter.

Curry, surprise, surprise, hasn’t been well conditioned. The story going around the league is Curry sat on a medicine ball in camp and it exploded. I’m not sure I believe that. But I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, either.

The Bulls may be able to simply do something like Larry Hughes for Eddy Curry; or Kirk Hinrich for Eddy Curry. But if the Bulls wait a little longer, they could do something like Kirk Hinrich and Drew Gooden for Eddy Curry and Chris Duhon. I like this second trade, as it gets us Duhon, who is probably better suited for a backup point guard spot than Hinrich and clears out a power forward for a center, which should open up minutes for Tyrus Thomas.

Curry does not look too out of shape. He could definitely stand to lose a few, but he is in no way grossly out of shape. There is a difference between not being in shape to run in Dantoni’s offense and not being in shape for the typical NBA offense. Curry could give us that elusive low post option that we have been missing ever since he left.

It is no longer a no brainer to trade for Curry if he is available, but it is an option that you have to strongly consider.
