Pargo Helps Out the Hornets

The Wages of Wins Journal

The American mission of the 20th century was to export our way of life to the world. Specifically, we wanted the world to embrace free markets. As the world listened to our story, though, the number of competitors American firms faced in the marketplace increased. And although competition is wonderful for consumers, it's not always so good for individual firms. Competition results in winners and losers, and when you are a loser the game doesn’t seem like so much fun.  [ Read More ]

To Russia, with love (and $4 million)

John DeShazier, The Times-Picayune

At least Jannero Pargo got the money he wanted. The reported $4 million the former Hornets guard will receive to play in Russia this year is more than he could pry from an NBA team, and not by a little. It's almost four times as much as the $1.08 million he would have gotten from New Orleans if he hadn't opted out of the final year of his contract, and just about doubles the $1.9 million that reportedly was offered to him by San Antonio, which allegedly made a pitch to lure Pargo away from the Hornets.  [ Read More ]
