Shams: Spurs Waive Josh Primo

[Shohoku High]

Wizards allowed Rui Hachimura extended leave for mental health reasons and didn't waive his rookie contract.

So this doesn't make sense if it's purely mental health reasons given how cold PATFO was in cutting ties with Primo.

[jehawk81]

That has been debunked as a smokescreen to cover for the fact that Jack was fucking Amy Duncan.

Really?

[tbdog]

The karmic forces in the universe are balancing out our insane luck to have drafted David Robinson and Tim Duncan.


Well ... Ignoring former glories, should they still be seen as smart?

I don't know how they would deserve that moniker after the last 5 years or so when they've basically been similar to the Knicks and Kings. Some smart things yes, like Keldon. Bringing in Jock as an older overseas ufa. There's more.

But they've also made some weird weird moves. The Kawhi debacle. Wasting time in DeRozan. The Morris-Bertans debacle. The DeMarre Carroll debacle. Guaranteeing Aldridge only to have him quit. Picking Luka. Refusing to name Becky lead assistant despite her having much more experience than everyone else and then not having any designated lead until Brett. Chip running off to an arguably worse team. Bringing back Marco and Bryn to fail more. Refusing to play Murray and White together or more than 24 minutes each until the bubble.

Add whatever the Primo thing is.

I don't know if they should be held in the same esteem they were 10, 15, 20 years ago.

Oh yeah. You wonder how much is bad luck. Maybe the ping pong ball falls for us.

[offset formation]

That has been debunked as a smokescreen to cover for the fact that Jack was fucking Amy Duncan.

Wait.....WUT?: I didn't know this. Have I been on Mars? Is this common knowledge? Can our Spurs not keep it in their fucking pants? And what a skank if true to fuck a teammate of your husband.

[TekXX]

I can understand pulling a jersey, he's not with the team, they're not selling his name anymore but to scrub social media clean....yea something went down.

[baseline bum]

Was watching the World Series and then I come across this shit. Do I still have to wait to tell if he’s a fucking franchise player for our team? This is the worst draft pick of all time for our team. So to all the Sengun haters, yes I would rather have drafted him over Josh Fucking Primo.

Alfrederick Hughes is still the worst, but this is a clear second.

[ducks]

Really hope this has nothing to do with kids.

19 year old is a kid
Can not legal conceal and carry a gun tell 21
Can not legal drink

[offset formation]

look i'm not saying that's what happened I just said that's their only way to come back from this clean. Maybe an Adrian Peterson situation is clean but I don't think he got a kid.

For his sake and the Spurs' sake, I really hope that's true. I fear it's that or some sort of domestic issue.

[tbdog]

For fucks sake, LJ isnt' talking about gambling. He's talking about something much worse.

Look, I've got one theory. Some type of misconduct of a minor.

[Chomag]

Yep, that the organization is removing all traces and association just hours after they waived him seems very telling that this can't be something minor.

Unless this organization is just completely stupid

[baseline bum]

I can understand pulling a jersey, he's not with the team, they're not selling his name anymore but to scrub social media clean....yea something went down.

I went to the official Spurs shop and you can still buy Lonnie Walker jerseys, as well as a couple of guys they signed this summer and then cut. Can still buy a Derrick White jersey too. Very weird to get rid of Primo jerseys.

In a manner of speaking. To put it another way, the initial speculation wasn't really that far off. Some would say it's a lesser issue. Some would say it's worse. But it's that bad.

[baseline bum]

Well they did draft him #12 when he was considered second round talent, so there's that.

@DonHarris4
The Spurs waiving Primo just weeks after exercising his option is the closest thing to unbelievable that I have seen in 35 years of covering the team. My best guess at this point is disciplinary. A violation of team culture in the most extreme way is the only thing I can think of

Hopefully our local media will do their due diligence and put pressure on the Spurs FO and not their usual circle jerking around.

Nah I think you're right, they sell old players' jerseys but Primo's has disappeared from there.

It is not murder. If he was being investigated for murder, then the media would have it by now.

Wow if true !

that dumbass didn't know the Spurs were out of town this weekend

[exstatic]

If it is what you think it is, and what I think it is(my opinion not based off any insider info) gambling on the team, is the only clean way out of this.

No. That would allow them to cancel his contract, not pay it out. Gambling also isn’t related to some big trauma in his past.

[offset formation]

Hopefully our local media will do their due diligence and put pressure on the Spurs FO and not their usual circle jerking around.

But Pop will yell at them. He's effectively neutered the local and national media, which he got away with until a story of this magnitude came down to the old South Texas town.

[emanueldavidginobili]

The fact that Primo and his GF both went private makes me think they are preparing for when the news hits. You have mental problems okay you’re no different than millions of other people in the world. Plenty of pro sport players have left the game or took a break because of mental health issues and have received nothing but love from everyone. So why would Primo go private?

[heyheymymy]

I agree spurs actions are the truer determination of what the nature of the incident is. To scrub everything when it's usually a "SA thanks you, Primo" tweet indicates this is bad news.

Primo's statement shouldn't hold as much water. It's just PR narrative, Primo's statement doesn't necessarily have to be true. He can say anything he wants.

[ducks]

Easy answer: avoid spam troll posts that would constitute online bullying to a guy who's trying to stabilize his mental health.

[cd98]

Well no idea what it could be.

[Chinook]

Can you spell it out.

The way I see it, it's probably best for folks to not think about it if they aren't already. No one's going there right now, and I think that's because when you do, you don't really go back. If that speculation is wrong about Primo, he deserves to not be associated with that for the rest of his life. That might be why Pop intially seemed to leave open the idea of Primo coming back. But the way the Spurs reacted makes me wonder if the owners were like, "nah. Never"

If it was a serious criminal situation I don't think any attorney would allow Primo to make statements about his mental state (or anything else).

[KingKev]

Hope it's not something like being molested as a child and then molesting someone else. Those are horrible stories, but they do happen. Not saying there is any evidence to suggest that is at all a possibility here, but I'm just trying to think of what could be so bad as to get waived so quickly and without comment and have a PR announcement like what the Spurs said and like what Primo issued.

Your speculation is troublesome in itself.

[ducks]

The local media needs to grow a pair of donkey balls
They could get a higher paying job if they got the scoop and not some ESPN guy

[flox]

The list of things that are both socially unacceptable and potentially criminal while still getting any potential shred of sympathy due to it being a perpetual cycle of abuse/victimhood/personal trauma is incredibly uncomfortable to think about.

If it is in fact something like the above, it is both a sad and very yikes situation.

Several of us are kinda getting to this conclusion and if you put the 2 and 2 together here, it's kind of becoming the most logical answer for all the component parts of the Spurs actions and his statement. In the absence of a hard statement, people speculate. And people can do so responsibly if they lean on facts and not wild opinions not based in facts.

[jhfenton]

Agreed. I thought that was very odd. That implies something very serious, detrimental to the team, not expected to be criminal.

Don't confuse the Texas media with say east coast media for example. Media here are very obediant to authority and don't ask many questions, they'll just regurgitate whatever the authorities give them.

[gambit1990]

[Chinook]

Not speculating when I say this: There's a difference between when someone commits a criminal act and when someone is in legal trouble. Again this is just speaking generally, but a player could do some violation that's reprehensible and worthy of discipline from a team/PR standpoint without actually warranting legal punishment. A lot of crimes like DV and SA are obviously wrong but without a cooperative victim don't have a legal case. In a case like that, the team could suspend or otherwise discipline the player while the law does nothing. Yes, oftentimes you'll get an arrest out of it, but depending on how the evidence is captured and released, maybe not. Someone doesn't need to be at the point where they're building a legal defense to be at the point where they're in a PR fight or lose their jobs.

[cd98]

Make no mistake, Josh's statement was written by a PR person or a lawyer. It reads like one.

Like I said most people that take a break for mental health receive a ton of love and try to bring awareness. Yeah there might be some trolls like always but majority of comments are mostly love.

Those trolls hit hard to those with mental health issues though. If you don't have severe mental health issues, you can look at it from the other standpoint but it's apparent that Primo isn't in such a state so he may not have the best judgment at this point.

Mental health issues. Trauma. He likely traumatized someone else in some way and is using his supposed past issues to explain it. That’s my best guess based on the statement released. But just guessing like everyone else.

If he was accused of committing a crime you wait it out. Indefinite leave of absence while it’s sorted out.

If it’s anything other than him confessing to a crime or indisputable evidence of something really bad then I see no reason to waive outright.

If it is anything other than something which would make him untradable than this front office has shit the bed like nothing we’ve ever seen.

Yeah, White and Murray were actually home runs considering where they were taken. Lonnie's a rotational player. The only terrible miss was Luka and I guess now Primo--although whatever happened probably falls on Primo's shoulders not PATFO.

Respect it- sounds like dude quit cause he made a mistake. He still plays keldon and vassells position. He wasn’t a pg. glad Wesley got a chance. Spurs have a better record than the lakers.

Asked what led to the release of Primo, Pop said, "Have you all gotten the statement we've made? That's all I choose to say about that right now. We are just going to stick with what we told you all."

[ducks]

Pop is a freaking prick can go on about other things but not spurs related stuff

[rascal]

Possibly quit the Spurs. And asked to be waived

[SpurPadre]

He may not be legally able to make any other statement about this.

[baseline bum]

Reddit saying he was involved in a murder last weekend. Seriously.

Reddit is retarded. He was in Philly last weekend.

[goliath]

Whatever it is has to be and enough that the Spurs aren’t worried about any backlash from another team claiming or signing Primo. If it’s suicide, mental health, punching a teammate, slapping his gf there would be too much backlash for the spurs just to cut him and see him turn into an all star with another team.

[offset formation]

Spurs would have told him to retire so they wouldn't have to pay him.

[Spurminator]

Mental health issues. Trauma. He likely traumatized someone else in some way and is using his supposed past issues to explain it. That’s my best guess based on the statement released. But just guessing like everyone else.

If it was a Simone Biles mental health issue, the Spurs would have released a statement at the same time supporting him. That's not happening. Dude fucked up.

Avery Johnson gave Malik Rose a black eye and he wasn't waived. It's more serious than that.

Being in Philly doesn't necessarily mean you can't still be involved in a murder in SA still but I agree that doesn't seem likely.

RC's statement including the phrase "in the long run" sounds ominous to me.
It sounds like there could be several years of "trauma work" and possibly much more going on here.
What a shocker!

I can imagine that Pop and the whole organization must feel horrible about this. They take development so holistically.

There is a real possibility that there is a legal component here that doesn't allow them to talk about it.
Primo must've really made a huge mistake/mistakes. Kinda nauseating to think about this for a 19 yr old.

[gospursgojas]

He early voted for Abbott today and Pop found out.

Primo talked on media day 5 weeks ago about possibly being the face of the franchise:

"I am definitely looking to be a part of that...But honestly I think that comes with more of the off the court stuff than on the court stuff."

[Cry Havoc]

Avery Johnson gave Malik Rose a black eye and he wasn't waived. It's more serious than that.

According to every source I've seen it's not basketball related.

Maybe primo actually violently attacked a teammate or a coach? It sucks to be left in the dark like this.

And now Devin is making this more frustrating with his cryptic message.

[Wu36]

To me he didn’t want to play basketball. At least not pg. His casualness might have been not carrying . Spurs already had keldon and vassell ahead of him. He was picks much higher than he ever thought and couldn’t live upto it as a pg. We have talent on this team and a winning record. Just deal with it and let more of the new kids play. I hope primo is fine in life. But keldon and vassell play were he’d normally play. Not sniffer shit. But dude apparently has issues. Look at Ben. Primo was 1/10 the cost. It didn’t work out and the team doesn’t seem phased

[Cry Havoc]

I don't see it. They could probably void the contract instead of releasing him if he attacked someone on the team.

Yeah, it's a total reach. I think, sadly, sexual assault or gambling are the two most likely outcomes that both make sense and wouldn't necessarily mean immediate jail.

[emanueldavidginobili]

You don’t waive your 19 year old lottery pick because he attacked someone from the organization. Did y’all see what Draymond did to Poole? Again, his jersey is not available for sale on the NBA site. Cacok is ffs.

[SpurPadre]

Yeah, it's a total reach. I think, sadly, sexual assault or gambling are the two most likely outcomes that both make sense and wouldn't necessarily mean immediate jail.

I'm still not ruling out a Ben Simmons mental fog scenario but more serious because he's younger and just outright couldn't handle the pressure any longer to keep playing at this point.

Not trying to make light of the situation but some of you are absolutely terrible at reading the tea leaves. Like facepalm bad. :lol

[objective]

This isn't crushing to me because Primo was some future all star. I could have been marked down as one of his biggest doubters. But I thought he could be an NBA player and get an mle deal and have a long career. Not a starter or 6th on a title team, but could be a rotation player.

It's crushing because he was a 12th pick and still an asset. There's only 3 ways to add talent, free agency, trades and the draft. And because it's not a premiere market, and because trades depend on other teams cooperating, the only real way to improve, the most important, is the draft.

And teams that blow the draft enough in a short enough time destroy their own futures. Sacramento was able to have a very good player in Cousins, or a very good player in Fox.

But you blow picks on Cauley-Stein or Stauskas or Papagiannis or Bagley etc and you wake up and find that you've missed the playoffs for 20 straight years.

Even if everything is Promo's fault and when everyone learns the truth everyone agrees with the Front Office decision on him ... This will still be awful and can't help but be a huge setback.

[baseline bum]

Kind of wondering if it might be kiddie or minor related. Because Gary Neal was accused of rape but it never stopped the Spurs from bringing him in.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Primo is in jail for sure. His statement wasn’t on Instagram or any social media, it was from his PR team because he doesn’t have access to his phone.

[baseline bum]

You probably could start with because he is a human being I’m concerned he may need serious help vs he’s not good at basketball because that list can get pretty long.

[SpurPadre]

People were speculating some kind of sexual abuse trauma for Primo. What if he got revenge on someone who abused him when he was younger but he was caught?

To get waived, you'd think it was some horrible criminal act. But then, RC's quote doesn't really make sense if that's the case. Any other scenario (drugs, mental health crisis, fight, etc.), they wouldn't have waived him; they would have just found a way to trade him.


Yeah this is a team that goes out if it's way taking care of players. Most of the things you listed they would get him help for, not waive him. This is strange.

He quit his job. Maybe sad some things that would make a pro team pull gear- But this is him quitting. No murder, rape, drug slanging. No tmz. Just the Spurs wall.

It’s actually what a great top notch organization would do, let him worry about himself first then basketball. I’m sure the Spurs organization is seeking him assistance to deal his problems. But first don’t worry about basketball. Take care of what he has to do first.

[get_mills_out]

“Wait until all the facts come out!”

We still don’t really know what happened with Udoka. There are some vague rumors, but not really anything concrete. If Primo’s stuff doesn’t become a public, criminal thing there’s a chance we may never know the full story. Also, don’t teams have 48hrs to sign someone off waivers? Spurs could be trying to keep things under wraps to induce a bid if it’s actually that bad.

”PATFO are trying to get in front of something”

If they are, then it better be huge. I’m not sure what moral high ground you gain from letting the basketball world wonder whether you had a child pornographer or murderer on your team. They are feeding a 19 year old to the wolves. The longer the spurs let it go radio silent, the worse it will look for them if he didn’t do something heinous. If it’s truly a criminal matter, nobody bats an eye when you put out a “we’re investigating the matter” statement after it goes public. There has to be a smoking gun video/photo, or the spurs just panicked.

Spurs local media holding big L’s yet again. None of them have any sources. If this is truly a criminal thing, Spurs are on the phone pulling some serious favors around town to keep this under wraps.

This shows to me the Spurs can no longer properly analyze a player to see if he is mentally stable. Spurs in the last 5 years have had 3 first rounders with mental problems ala Lonnie, Luka, Primo.

I never wanted Primo in the first place. I wanted Sengun or Tre Murphy. Was disappointed when the Spurs picked this kid.

They all seemed like sensitive, fragile, slightly feminine types which is why the Spurs probably liked them.

So Primo’s statement says he wants to help others. Ok, so having seen that it doesn’t sound like someone running from a criminal issue. It sounds like he waited to get paid and took off unexpectedly. Feels like a Ricky Williams situation possibly.

You really think that Spurs would release a player that has mental issues and instantly remove all of his merch from the shop?

How fucking dumb can some of you people be?

PATFO has made a ton of mistakes over the past few years, some really bad choices and managed some situations horribly, setting the franchise back by a couple of years.
But you don't release a kid who was supposed to be the franchise's next poster boy unless he fucked up big time.
And the PR statement someone wrote for him is a textbook attempt to get ahead of the situation before everyone is made aware of what he's done.

You can blame PATFO for drafting him when there were better prospects left on the board or for not making a mistake and not seeing the potential issues in his background check.
But you can't blame them for waiving someone who's obviously never going to play an NBA game again. If it was just some minor offense, they would've suspended him and maybe traded him later on.
This was something that warranted immedieate waive, we'll know what happened in a few days, stop with the braindead takes.

There’s no way the Spurs are paying out his contract though yeah? If he quit, that is.

[Rocalcio]

His girlfriend just went private on her IG. Feel like it has something to do with her. Purely speculative of course, but Primo might’ve laid hands on her tbh.

Or maybe she did that because dickheads have been harassing her since the news came out…

Depends on what happens with his waiver wire status in the next 2 days.

If another team claims him, unlikely imo, they would assume the contract once the claim goes through.

If not, then Spurs would indeed be on the hook for his remaining contract.

He was waived for mental health reasons. It was a mutual agreement so Primo could seek treatment due to previous trauma. He will not report to any team that tries to pick him up. Do not be surprised if a few years from now he comes back to the Spurs.

[Rocalcio]

Don’t worry boys, I’m on the case.

Really ?! Just like that, not even a « Hello » first ?
Now that you know that he’s going through mental issues I hope you feel bad for doing this. If everybody would do that it could be a fucking way to make things worst. Damn, that’s so dumb…

I don't believe that's the case because if that would be probably would have just been put in injury list or something. A treatment would have been supported, but this without any information or anything is it just so unlikely this is something mutually agreed.

[exstatic]

I am sure Primo is his homie. You think Devin gives a fuck about some old guys in the FO compared to Primo?

He probably should, since next summer is his extension period.

[exstatic]

It’s actually what a great top notch organization would do, let him worry about himself first then basketball. I’m sure the Spurs organization is seeking him assistance to deal his problems. But first don’t worry about basketball. Take care of what he has to do first.

I’m sure he’ll be back in Spurs uniform once he got himself sorted.

That would be the ‘stepping away from basketball’ speech, not the ‘we’re cutting this MF, and burning all of his merch in a dumpster behind the store’ speech.

[exstatic]

What do you mean he is deleted from the database?

Scrubbed from all Spurs social media. All merch removed from the store.

[Maddog]

It's all speculation at this point, with a lot of things not making sense. It's hard to believe the Spurs would waive him and erase all presence (merchandise etc) if there wasn't some sort of legal jeopardy and or done something that would make it hard to face his teammates again.
Spurs have always been supportive and current team seems like they'd be supportive of someone having a rough patch.

[acoelho1]

It seems whatever occurred, it also shocked the Spurs organization. In Primo's statement, he's stated that he was seeking help for a previous trauma and I assume the Spurs were aware of this issue since NBA teams generally do their due diligence. If I were to speculate, it was a suicide attempt. Given his age and the seriousness of such an action, it's the only thing that makes sense and would reconcile with Primo's comments.

[r0drig0lac]

Don’t worry boys, I’m on the case.

lol

[Cabrito]

If it was a suicide attempt, they would support him. The Spurs support their players. It would be more like child porn if they are scrubbing social media and washing their hands of him. Speculation is absurd at this point regardless. We know zero info.

[Rummpd]

You really think that Spurs would release a player that has mental issues and instantly remove all of his merch from the shop?

How fucking dumb can some of you people be?

PATFO has made a ton of mistakes over the past few years, some really bad choices and managed some situations horribly, setting the franchise back by a couple of years.

I agree more to story but also believe unless lawsuit involved Spurs FO not handling well. All I hope is the kid gets help nothing else matters now.

[Leetonidas]

:lol posters thinking the Spurs would wash their hands of someone and yank all of his merch because of a suicide attempt. Buford's statement didn't say anything about supporting him or standing by him in this difficult time etc...he didn't try to kill himself

Imo in order of likelihood:

Domestic violence
Drunk driving resulting injury to a third party
Sexting/banging/inappropriate messages with someone underage
Dicking a female Spurs employee/wife of employee

[CGD]

This is still so wild. They were so incredibly high on him just even days ago.

If any of things happened which any could of expect a leak soon as criminal charge would become known at some point- if it is mental health thing I just hope kid gets help and whatever happened perhaps one day more will be known.

Domestic violence
Drunk driving resulting injury to a third party
Sexting/banging/inappropriate messages with someone underage

[SayTown]

He was banging Pop's sugar baby and him and Pop got into an altercation. My homie just got out of the magistrate and saw Primo sitting in cell by himself.

Dumb. Jeff’s next tweet:

The following are all mammals:

Lions
Meerkats
Whales
Squirrels
Dog

Sure, they’re all mammals, but each has its own context behind them.

He early voted for Abbott today and Pop found out.

Off with his head then...

[Russ]

There's another issue here -- the Spurs owe their fans some kind of an explanation (even if not a full one).

The Spurs are in a vulnerable position. They're doing surprising well early on but they can't afford trust issues at this point. Arrogance is no longer an acceptable answer.

They are very well aware that people aren't coming to the games.
