Shams: Spurs Waive Josh Primo

[cd98]

Gotta be something with his GF. Dudes making the kind of bank he is by 19 tend to have over-inflated egos.

My first and only speculation -- Perhaps GF finds out he's cheating on her or has a kid with another woman...which would be very easy for a multi-millioaire 19 year old with multiple options. She threatens to tell Spurs management or post something bad about him and he threatens her (or perhaps worse) in texts. Rather than going to the police, she sends it to Spurs who release him based on the possible physical threat that goes against what they thought they knew about the kid.

That would fit the Spurs statement and also explain why there's no known police report or arrest. Best guess for the known facts including the sudden turn of events and Spurs extending him.

No, because they could work around that and trade him. It's got to be something that would get in the public and tarnish their image. Domestic stuff that doens't involve actual violence is just not likely to get someone waived immediately.

Primo’s been removed from spurs IG photos, I think

they dont just remove photos of ex Spurs like that

[SpurSpike]

Maybe he is a closet psycho?

PATFO can't catch a break anymore. They must be having PTSD with all these players exiting the way they do.

Just up and waive a 12th pick on his second year?? How re ed can this franchise be??

I don't like that they don't give a about getting Wembanyama but this is different. They wouldn't do this without careful thought. Whatever we find out eventually, and we will, it'll turn out to have been a justified decision by PATFO.

While this is probably technically true, I assume reporters in SA have enough connections with SAPD or the DA that something would have leaked by now.

Meh...True they could but perhaps the cir stances are such that they figured he would be hard to trade and didn't want the organization to be mired in a domestic situation while a trade and or legal situation was worked out.

This all but confirms it’s criminal or at that level. Teams sell crap of players who left at a discount all the time on their stores. Heck, you can still buy a Wentz Eagles jersey online as one example.

Yeah this definitely makes it sound criminal, because the official Spurs team shop has jerseys from Jordan Hall, Lonnie Walker, Alize Johnson, and Derrick White still so being waived or traded doesn't get you pulled from the store.

That’s plausible. Both of the accounts went private, Are they still following each other?

[TekXX]

I doubt it was a major crime since the spurs sorta wished him well.

[cd98]

If it's something bad and newsworthy, why even bother trying to keep it all secret for the weekend? Once the news is out, if it is bad, it will get lots of media attention, at least local media attention.

[BatManu20]

Wtf. This was Primo’s decision. What a plot twist.

Spurs literally gushed about the dudes character. Definitely confusing af

[TekXX]

We know these professional leagues don't give a if you threaten a woman or beat a woman, so he'll be scooped up quickly.

[Spurs9]

Shared tiktok is still up with his gf https://www.tiktok.com/@sophiaandjoshh

[baseline bum]

Still doesn't make sense, why would they cut him with two years on his deal.

[scott]

From his statement... sounds like maybe dude just legit quit?

With this and the merch post I'm speculative on this must involve a minor. And the evidence is so obvious that they want no traces to him.whatelse can warrant all this?

[lefty20]

That statement just makes things more confusing

[BatManu20]

Sounds like another potential Lonnie situation tbh, only worse.
