Shams: Spurs Waive Josh Primo

[BatManu20]

PATFO :lmao

1586136947327586310

[spurraider21]

beat you to it

[Dejounte]

WTF! This is unprecedented.

[Chinook]

Did he kill someone?

[Mugen]

What the fuck? :lmao

[BatManu20]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FgMXbS8XkAIW5e5?format=jpg&name=large

[Dejounte]

Gotta tag the superfans: Sugus Atl Spur feels like I’m missing a couple more

[SpurSpike]

WHAT THE FUCK?!? Is this real???

Spurs got some splaining to do...

[Mugen]

timvp get in here and let us know if he killed somebody

[offset formation]

Did he kill someone?

Gotta be something very serious.

[lefty20]

Dude prolly killed someone or something wild like that

[Mugen]

Knowing this organization, he was probably caught jaywalking.

PATFO :lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

The fuck?

[joeyjfive]

He had to take a swing at Pop or Buford that’s the only way.

[BatManu20]

No way this is purely for basketball reasons… :lol

1586138587455950848

[Mugen]

Dude was literally on the bench last game yucking it up with his teammates.

[spurraider21]

Knowing this organization, he was probably caught jaywalking.

PATFO :lmao
he probably 'liked' an elon musk tweet

[Chinook]

he probably 'liked' an elon musk tweet

Would show poor judgment

[murpjf88]

Did he kill someone?
Maybe he signed with clutch.

[Poolboy5623]

I'd call this organization a joke but jokes are funny.

[Mugen]

Please let it be something very minor and Primo goes onto be an All-Star :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

I wouldn't even be surprised if this is only to make room for a trade. What a waste of a 12th pick.

[Texas_Ranger]

I guess i was right when i said this pick was retarded.

[BatManu20]

Pop’s refusal to comment makes me think something happened. Tf could boy-scout Primo have done though tbh? Dude must’ve secretly been a drug lord something.

1586139556205584385

[Big Empty]

WoooooW

[John B]

Did he get into a fight with Devin? That’s why both are injured?

[Atl Spur]

Whoa!!

[RC_Drunkford]

Just when you thought the FO is making the right moves, they hit you left field with some dumb shit

[Big Empty]

He musta got caught with serious dope or hit a woman or teamate

[mo7888]

Stunned..

[InRareForm]

Lakers picking him up?

[buttsR4rebounding]

Anyone gonna argue now that we should have drafted Sengun.

[stephen jackson]

Wtf

[BatManu20]

Maybe sexual assault allegations incoming? No clue tbh. But something don’t smell right.

[Texas_Ranger]

Probably raped someone.

[NASpurs]

I verbally said "wtf" when I read the title. :lol

Wtf happened

[buttsR4rebounding]

He musta got caught with serious dope or hit a woman or teamate

Or used the wrong pronoun.

[gospursgojas]

Next level tanking

[Chinook]

Most disciplinary stuff would just warrant a suspension or trade. To be cut is serious.

[offset formation]

I guess i was right when i said this pick was retarded.

All of us were and have been redeemed he should not have been the #12 pick. PATFO sang the kid's praises not only athletically but also for his maturity. Well something went down.

[itzsoweezee]

what the fuck is going on?

[Dejounte]

Just when you thought the FO is making the right moves, they hit you left field with some dumb shit

I mean, it’s not dumb to cut someone if they did something terrible. Why don’t we wait first for the reason?

[offset formation]

Anyone gonna argue now that we should have drafted Sengun.

Shouldn't have, you mean??

[spurraider21]

Most disciplinary stuff would just warrant a suspension or trade. To be cut is serious.
tbh my mind immediately went to henry ruggs

[lmbebo]

WTF

[lefty20]

At least Wesley and Bran were already called back last night.

Makes you thing if this situation has been brewing since then...

[RC_Drunkford]

Can't wait for the sniffers to come and justify how this was the right move and they couldn't have seen that coming when they drafted him. Yet they draft guys mainly based on character.

[couchman]

Stunned
He either did something truly terrible or the Spurs Front Office is compounding their mistakes.
I don't like either option

[offset formation]

Most disciplinary stuff would just warrant a suspension or trade. To be cut is serious.

Days after picking up his 3rd year option, no less.

[NASpurs]

At 19, was he dipping his dipstick somewhere where he shouldn't ?

[Mugen]

tbh my mind immediately went to henry ruggs

As a fellow Spurs/Raiders fan, that shit would be legit hilarious. :lol

[BatManu20]

1586140947376644102

[Spurs9]

Shocking and sad. Must be super serious to not even trade him for picks/assets.

[offset formation]

At least Wesley and Bran were already called back last night.

Makes you thing if this situation has been brewing since then...

Good point.

[Dex]

https://media4.giphy.com/media/ukGm72ZLZvYfS/giphy.gif

[tim_duncan_fan]

I bet he hit his girl.

[murpjf88]

I mean, it’s not dumb to cut someone if they did something terrible. Why don’t we wait first for the reason?

It's an overreaction to cut someone based off accusations. If he was found guilty of something, I'm sure it would hit the news circuits by now.

[Mugen]

Please god let it be super minor. This would absolutely end the Sniff Crew once and for all :lol

[John B]

I suspect he wasn’t injured. He probably hurt Devin? No please don’t waive Devin too. Fuck!

[Spurs9]

Looking up arrest records right tbh to see if anything pops up

[Dex]

He musta got caught with serious dope or hit a woman or teamate

Hitting teammates apparently doesn't mean shit in the NBA. Draymond ended up on TMZ throwing a superman punch at one of their young stars, and all he got was a slap on the wrist fine, a paid vacation, and had to issue an empty apology where he continued to insult said teammate and his family.

[Mugen]

The organization super up their own ass about how they value culture/character absolutely whiffing on two first rounders because of character issues...

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[NASpurs]

Must've been something worse than Gary Neal and friends running a train on a girl. Even that guy was here for a while.

[jhfenton]

Agreed. I can’t believe anything internal with a teammate could have escalated from exercising his option 18 days ago to waiving him today.

[Proxy]

wtf do i do with this jersey :pctoss

[jeebus]

He either shot someone or has like a brain tumor and 6 months left to live.

[spurraider21]

1586143626132090881

:lmao :lmao :lmao

this

[Mugen]

Pelinka would have traded for him tbh

[John B]

Did Primo do a Tomya Harding on Devin? :lol So he could be the starter maybe?

[BatManu20]

The organization super up their own ass about how they value culture/character absolutely whiffing on two first rounders because of character issues...

:lmao :lmao :lmao

:lol

[Gibbz]

This is a massive set-back for the franchise, holy shit. Surely it's something actually criminal or they would have just sat on it and traded him.

[Ditty]

Did he get caught banging Brent Barry’s wife ?! This is fucking crazy!!!

[murpjf88]

The organization super up their own ass about how they value culture/character absolutely whiffing on two first rounders because of character issues...

:lmao :lmao :lmao
Looks that way.

"It is our hope that, in the long run, this decision will serve the best interest of both the organization and Joshua," Spurs CEO RC Buford said in a statement.

[BatManu20]

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.

[K...]

Why waive and not suspend? He could bring in a trade for another bad assets, keeps him from signing elsewhere,

Do the spurs want to sign someone else immediately?

[Dex]

This should be a sobering reminder to people that high draft picks don't guarantee shit.

[RC_Drunkford]

1586142430293905411

[Mugen]

Let's see what he did but the fact that nothing has leaked yet about any criminal activity leads me to believe this is no worse than the Draymond shit.....

If so, that would be absolutely hilarious and on brand for this organization to waive him and get literally zero compensation in return.

[NASpurs]

Did he get caught banging Brent Barry’s wife ?! This is fucking crazy!!!

Someone banged his wife again? Even that other guy got his jersey retired!

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

It gotta be something serious.

crazy stuff.

should’ve drafted Sengun anyway. SMH

[Dex]

Why waive and not suspend? He could bring in a trade for another bad assets, keeps him from signing elsewhere,

Do the spurs want to sign someone else immediately?

Best bet is that he did something glaringly illegal enough where the Spurs don't want to have any association with it. Domestic violence, rape, manslaughter...who knows but I'm sure we'll find out eventually

[Atl Spur]

Please god let it be super minor. This would absolutely end the Sniff Crew once and for all :lol

Hey bitch boy, this is a human being….. get yourself together.

[Texas_Ranger]

1586142430293905411

2 players that every person with eyes knew were not worth picking that high. Spurs probably doing this shit intentionally just so they can feel smart if one of these losers actually becomes good.

[baseline bum]

WTF I was about to spam Karl Marx chapters thinking this was a troll thread.

[timvp]

OMGggggggggggggggggg

[Mugen]

Hey bitch boy, this is a human being….. get yourself together.

Uh oh, the resident Sniffer is on full tilt :lol

I need you to spin this so that the PATFO still comes out looking A++++ still :lmao

[SPURt]

Ugh… this one hurts. Between Samanic and Primo, the Spurs aren’t doing great with the teenagers. He had to have done something messed up. It’d be nice for the organization to give some reasoning.

[Spurs9]

Maybe they want to tank more for Weby, they were playing too well.

[RC_Drunkford]

Primo is actually 26 and not 19. He faked his canadian passport

[jhfenton]

Best bet is that he did something glaringly illegal enough where the Spurs don't want to have any association with it. Domestic violence, rape, manslaughter...who knows but I'm sure we'll find out eventually

If it’s not, they’ve done Primo wrong by making people assume that. I’m thinking it can’t be anything else.

And I can’t believe they would do that. Drugs, alcohol, a fight with a teammate, surely it would have been suspension and quiet support.

[Mr. Body]

God damn, this should have been Sengun.

Meanwhile, this has to be a truly horrendous offcourt thing.

[stephen jackson]

We need answers

[jeebus]

1586142430293905411

One had a future being a starter in the NBA, and one had a future being a third stringer in the Ukrainian D league.

[BatManu20]

1586146419206938626

[rankingtear]

Yeah this is a disaster. SAS don't want to be associated with him when the shit hits the fan.

[Mugen]

Gonna throw it out there now and you can bump if/when I'm wrong :lol

But I don't think what he did is any worse than what other athletes did that were kept by their teams (Watson, Draymond, Kamara, Urias, Udoka, etc.)

I have a very strong suspicion that this is a case of the Spurs overreacting and touting their holier than thou bullshit..

I legit need to know what he did :lmao

[Leetonidas]

Wtf

[Chinook]

Or it could be a Miles Bridges situation where players don't just get away with it anymore. The Spurs have a financial incentive to have him claimed. We'll see who puts in a bid.

[Spurs9]

No way it was anything minor otherwise he would be suspended or traded. I’m sure it’s going to be a whopper when we find out.

[BatManu20]

Don’t worry boys, I’m on the case.


https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FgMcqevWQAc75n-?format=jpg&name=large

[itzsoweezee]

You can’t just no comment on this

[Dejounte]

I don’t think it involves any of the other players. They look like they’re in good spirits in the pregame photos.

[Mr. Body]

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.

Yeah, my guess is rape or violence. He had that choirboy demeanor and supposedly a good kid. Madness.

[RC_Drunkford]

Primo kicked Manu in his 1 remaining nut

[emanueldavidginobili]

Holy fucking shit. Also, his girlfriend doesn't follow him on instagram anymore.

[timvp]

I was just talking to someone yesterday afternoon about how impressed the team was with Primo. :lol

Lemme see if I can find out what happened. I just have a lot of "WTF" texts so far ....

[Mugen]

Or it could be a Miles Bridges situation where players don't just get away with it anymore. The Spurs have a financial incentive to have him claimed. We'll see who puts in a bid.

Chinny, if he's claimed, I'll be the biggest Primo fan that ever existed tbh :lol

[Maddog]

Holy crap
Must be something weird
Drugs- probably not the Spurs would have gotten him help

Absolutely bizarre

Did he pull a Karl Malone with a 12 year old or some shit?

[NASpurs]

It's a tumor.

[NASpurs]

Dude seriously fucked up if Pop is going to say that.

[RC_Drunkford]

Primo followed R. Kelly's footsteps and got caught pissing on a 14-year old

[Mr. Body]

From Primo to Zero.

[baseline bum]

I hope there is a Primo tribute video tonight before the game

[K...]

Also theres a game today. Hold this shit in for awhile

[baseline bum]

Dude seriously fucked up if Pop is going to say that.

So did he pull a Karl Malone or a Rae Carruth?

[emanueldavidginobili]

eh I still see her following him
Yeah she does thats my bad, amped up right now and thought I didn't see her name lol. Primo instagram is also private now.

[InRareForm]

Could have had tre mann, sengun,Moody, Herbert instead

[Mr. Body]

Word is he was taunting the Americans about when Canada burned down the White House.

[NASpurs]

So did he pull a Karl Malone or a Rae Carruth?

I'll just say the tribute song is by R Kelly.

[mystargtr34]

Must be serious if the Spurs wouldnt just shop him around the league tell the other teams what happened and they’ll take the best offer.

Dude must be going to jail.

[Spurs9]

We need the scoop from ������Windhorst ������

[Slippy]

Cant remember a 1st rounder getting waived so quick by the spurs.

Wtf. No comment from spurs just waived. They going have to explain this one.

[Mugen]

Man, I wish the media actually gave a shit about the Spurs for once. There's no way they wouldn't be all over this if it wasn't the Spurs :lol

[ivanfromwestwood]

Coach pop found out he was a registered Republican.

[Spurs9]

Man, I wish the media actually gave a shit about the Spurs for once. There's no way they wouldn't be all over this if it wasn't the Spurs :lol

Where is TMZ when we need them?

[lefty20]

I hope this doesn't make the Spurs even more conservative with their picks.

Pimo and Samanic were seen as homerun swings and we ended up whiffing, albeit for different reasons(prolly), hard on both.

[FkLA]

Wow

I feel like he's about to get arrested for murder or something :wow

Alfredrick Hughes was the fastest, he got released before the end of his first season. Can't think of another first to get waived as quickly as Primo though.

Any other way to see records before then? Surely someone reading this has to be in the know

[offset formation]

I hope there is a Primo tribute video tonight before the game

I literally lol'd

[emanueldavidginobili]

Hope he didn't pull a Henry Ruggs or something. Whatever happened has to be terrible. Bouknight hit a cop car and got charged with a DUI and played the Spurs a couple days later lol.

[Dejounte]

He was apparently at the game on Wednesday. Unless it's for a medical reason, that doesn't make sense.
I think the tweet means by Monday it would have been three days from today. Not three days before today.

[KingKev]

Primo followed R. Kelly's footsteps and got caught pissing on a 14-year old

Free R Kelly tbh

[TheChillFactor]

this is insane, completely unprecedented.

i have been pro-Primo the entire time. Whatever it is that he did, the spurs need to examine their bullshit assessment models that led them to pick a kid that they cut one year later.

their head-shrinker character testing machine is clearly on the fucking fritz

[exstatic]

timvp get in here and let us know if he killed somebody

This. LJ?

[Budkin]

He has to be going to jail.

[KingKev]

I actually fuck with him more if he got into a lil trouble but he was never promising in my eyes.

[Chinook]

I think the tweet means by Monday it would have been three days from today. Not three days before today.

Yep. I realized that and deleted the response. Doesn't really make sense to expect the news not to come out given the modern media though.

1586152212312358912

viva Las Vegas!!!

[Atl Spur]

I hope this dude ain’t on his way to jail! And why are some of you happy one our young players might of fucked up his life?

[mystargtr34]

Murder imo.

[td4mvp2k]

BS spurs not getting off that easy with this one

Too early to speculate but reach for a high character player just to invest and cut him for what is probably a non spurs character move.

[Gibbz]

God gon post his bail tonight

[NASpurs]

I hope this dude ain’t on his way to jail! And why are some of you happy one our young players might of fucked up his life?

I'm just happy your dumbass was proven wrong tbh.

[Leetonidas]

I hope this dude ain’t on his way to jail! And why are some of you happy one our young players might of fucked up his life?

Literally no one is happy about this dude

[RC_Drunkford]

Primo probably just didn't want to play on pride night and the Spurs said if you don't support the faggots you can bounce

[cd98]

I mean...to just waive a guy. In the NFL I guess they waived Kareem Hunt for physical abuse and then he went to the Browns. For sexual assault, Kobe had the Lakers behind him and even Pop said things to advocate for Kobe. If it was murder, I doubt we would not all know about it now. That would get out fast. It has to be less than murder and smoking gun proof. I guess Henry Ruggs got cut after his DUI accident that killed someone, but again, that hit the news fast. I just don't see murder or manslaughter not being front page news.

[baseline bum]

I can't imagine the Spurs would just waive Primo like this if say it was found he had a rare disease that would end his career. This has gotta be something criminal.

[Spurminator]

Murder imo.

They wouldn't keep that under wraps.

My guess is statutory rape.

[offset formation]

At 19, was he dipping his dipstick somewhere where he shouldn't ?

Assuming it was consensual and wasn't with a child or a married staff member, can't imagine there's anywhere a 19 year old shouldn't be dipping his dipstick. And even the married staff member thing has already been done around here so I can't see that as a terminable offense.

[objective]

This franchise can't keep from being a Trainwreck.

The only things I can think of that would warrant a waive would have involved an arrest which would be public.

Everything else could have waited.

Step 1 without news breaking: still recovering
Step 2 without news breaking: sent to Austin for development

If news of something bad has broken: asked to step away from the team

Based on their history, they probably handled this poorly

[cd98]

If it was an immediate crime, he would've been arrested and that would get in the news fast. So it would have to be something else, I would think.

[RC_Drunkford]

Primo was listening to Westside Gunn's Hitler Wears Hermes 10. Pop said "turn that off" and Primo replied with "I like Hitler"

[Chinook]

Even if something is really wrong with his knee like cancer, I doubt they'd cold waive him. It's hard to imagine even something medical being the reason, but that would explain their complete unwillingness to talk about it.

[spurraider21]

I was just talking to someone yesterday afternoon about how impressed the team was with Primo. :lol

Lemme see if I can find out what happened. I just have a lot of "WTF" texts so far ....
honestly i would give a "WTF" text if somebody told me the team was impressed with Primo

[GudDicGlow]

Did he kill someone?
1586143831715590145

[John B]

Must have slept with Barry’s wife?? But she must be twice his age

[timvp]

Tim Duncan himself is on a text chain I'm reading and doesn't know what happened. :lol

Initial speculation is it isn't something criminal but what else could it be?

[Dverde]

Probably refused to wear that SATX jersey. In all seriousness, I hope he didn’t do something criminal and life altering. He seemed like a decent dude with upside.

[baseline bum]

Probably rape, murder, arson, or rape

[Dejounte]

He was still on the intro video lol

[lmbebo]

1586143831715590145

That can't be real ...

[Maddog]

Even if something is really wrong with his knee like cancer, I doubt they'd cold waive him. It's hard to imagine even something medical being the reason, but that would explain their complete unwillingness to talk about it.

Nah,
Spurs wouldn't drop someone for medical reasons, doubt even if he tested positive for drugs.
Truly bizarre

[Chinook]

Tim Duncan himself is on a text chain I'm reading and doesn't know what happened. :lol

Initial speculation is it isn't something criminal but what else could it be?

Like even a terminal illness wouldn't explain it. They still wouldn't need to waive him right now.

[RC_Drunkford]

I totally expect this to be something other teams would let slide, but not the Spurs because "culture"

[baseline bum]

[emanueldavidginobili]

"It is our hope that in the long run this decision will serve the best interest of both the organization and Joshua" That doesn't seem like he committed some crazy crime, this is bizarre.

[cd98]

If he committed murder and was caught, he'd be arrested and the world would know. If he was a suspect in the murder of someone, I would think the Spurs would at least wait and see what happens before waiving him. I mean, if any team would say innocent until proven guilty, I would think it was the Spurs.

[cd98]

If it was a serious illness, I'm sure the teammates would know and not be in shock.

[FkLA]

What did Stephen Jackson get cut for that one time before the playoffs? Just because he thought he was better better than Green/Manu, right?

If this is something similar, and the Spurs cut Primo just because he bitched about not starting over Tre or something, I'm going to be really disappointed, tbh.

[J_Paco]

Man, I don't want to speculate but the Spurs really aren't giving people anything else to go with.

I'm hoping this move means they'll finally look for a legitimate back up PG until Blake Wesley is ready to go.

And having him and Branham lessens the blow of them cutting Primo loose so soon, IMO.

[Ditty]

A lot of speculation that it has something to do something with attempted murder. Might just be BS.

[RC_Drunkford]

bruh why are y'all talking about murder? Do any of you live in the hood? Does this kid look like a killer? GTFOH

[Spurminator]

"It is our hope that in the long run this decision will serve the best interest of both the organization and Joshua" That doesn't seem like he committed some crazy crime, this is bizarre.

All that seems like is the vaguest possible PR statement, there's no way to read anything into it and that's the point

[cd98]

Anything murder related would be in the news. I just don't think that would not have people talking that are not in the Spurs organization.

[cd98]

Man, whatever it is, if it is not a huge deal, then the Spurs are going to scare away free agents and players won't want to be drafted. I just can't see this being anything short of a no-brainer decision. But it shocks me that such a scenario would exist and not be in the news.

[scott]

I'm sure the CBA would not allow a player to get waived due to injury... if they can, then the Players Union are idiots.

Maybe he got caught with like 8 bricks of cocaine in his locker. There was that Cowboys player from San Antonio, Sam Hurd, who got busted for being a serious drug dealer. Something like that.

[objective]

I was just telling someone the other day how much more enjoyable this team is to watch

But they can't help themselves

Either they made a massive mistake in drafting or they massively overreacted to something that other organizations are able to handle without eating 2 years of salary

Big loss

[spurraider21]

If this is something similar, and the Spurs cut Primo just because he bitched about not starting over Tre or something, I'm going to be really disappointed, tbh.
I'm beginning to wonder if it's something along those lines.
With PATFO realizing also his limitations

[baseline bum]

So did Primo intentionally injure Vassell in practice?

[BackHome]

I wonder if Vasell is tied up in any of this I thought it was strange that both him and Primo were suddenly out missing games?

[spurraider21]

maybe he came into the locker room talking about how correct kanye is

[OldMan88]

It’s got to be major criminal issue. Nothing else makes any sense.

Even if he intentionally injured Vassell you just shut the fuck up and trade him.

[spurraider21]

if it was something criminal we'd have heard something from law enforcement officials by now, no?

[baseline bum]

Probably brought his AR into the locker room

[cd98]

I swear we will never live this down if the Spurs game broadcast cuts to a car chase with Primo in a Bronco.

[objective]

Man, whatever it is, if it is not a huge deal, then the Spurs are going to scare away free agents and players won't want to be drafted. I just can't see this being anything short of a no-brainer decision. But it shocks me that such a scenario would exist and not be in the news.

100%

If this isn't catching a felony then this ruins the team in the eyes of all players

Because they now understand the team won't have their back when they need it. But they'll also know how to get out of town easy.

Kawhi showed you could run and hide for a year and get traded. Now if this isn't as serious matter every draft pick will know how to get paid and get out of town early.

[Chinook]

Hopefully it wasn't some stupid drama that got out of hand between Primo and Vassell.

I do wish folks stopped talking about who "looks like a killer". Murder doesn't have a face. I'm not at all saying Primo did something like that, but people are wondering about it because that's the kind of thing that would justify the action, not because he has dark skin or whatever. Primo doesn't particularly look like a killer, but the situation as we understood it didn't look like one where the guy was going to get waived like he did either. Things are fucked up. Either the Spurs have made a colossal mistake or Primo did. It's going to end up being a huge shocking deal either way.

[LeBowen]

It most definitely has to be something that will end his career, they just picked up his option.

[stephen jackson]

Other teams have to know

[emanueldavidginobili]

In today's world with social media and all that it would be in the news already if it was major. Even Woj and Sham doesn't know. This shit might be some in house bullshit. But again who knows he was literally on the bench cheering 48 hours ago.

[tbdog]

Here i am, looking after a newborn. Kids playing Halloween dress up. I put the game on and catch the end of a statement about waiving primo. Surely I missed read that. I go to RealGM.com, nothing. Cool. Come here. Wtf is going on?

Just checking in, in this historical thread

[james evans]

Wtf is this. We f?!?!

[Trainwreck2100]

no they don't that's why they pulled this shit on a friday, so a team might be a sucker and pick up his contract 'fore shit hits the fan

[Atl Spur]

I'm just happy your dumbass was proven wrong tbh.

Let’s be clear homie, my life ain’t your life. Enjoy the attention clown ass dude. That’s all…..

[gospursgojas]

Last time this happened SJax slept with Timmy’s wife

[cd98]

If this is in-house stuff, then the Spurs organization has gone insane. Even a second round pick is worth holding him and trading him. It's got to be something serious. It can't be Primo not being willing to say that Vassell is better than him or some stupid thing like that.

[BillMc]

Tim Duncan himself is on a text chain I'm reading and doesn't know what happened. :lol

Initial speculation is it isn't something criminal but what else could it be?

If it is crimminal, isn't there due process before you waive him? I mean you could suspend him until more is known....

Possible. But doubt it everyone will wait till the truth comes out

[objective]

True. Anything in house can be managed until he's traded. Fight a teammate? Bang someone's girl? Throw soup at a coach? Protest coming off the bench?

The ship is so tight that nothing like that might have ever leaked anyway

[ace3g]

Maybe this is similar to the Spurs waive SJAX scenario.

[cd98]

I mean the Spurs were talking about this guy like they were talking about Murray before he popped. And you would think he was why they agreed to trade DJM. If it is criminal, it will be out before the weekend. People talk. Even if it isn't the police, someone in the chain will talk once the media gets on the case. I mean, even like a 3rd party...friend of a friend...someone knows something and they are going to spill and the sooner they do, the more they get to claim to be the one to say it.

[stephen jackson]

Can’t believe how far we have fallen ,this is sad. Our luck has run out. There is a black cloud over this franchise.

[KingKev]

if this convo isn’t the definition of the peanut gallery I don’t know what is.

He obviously fucked up. This franchise holds players to the strictest level of accountability. Primo was probably never this promising player most here envisioned here anyways but this should be a reminder of where PATFO may have faults of their own.

Lastly, he’s not important enough for real NBA journalist’s to actually investigate or give AF. We might never know what went down because in reality it’s a rounding error and he was a reach of a pick to begin with.

[exstatic]

It's a tumor.

It’s naaaht a toomah…

[Dex]

I hope this dude ain’t on his way to jail! And why are some of you happy one our young players might of fucked up his life?

I don't think anyone here is happy. This is a no win situation....Spurs lose a valuable player and asset, just hoping this kid didn't do something to sacrifice the rest of his career.

The reaction is moreso just trying to figure out what the fuck happened.

[emanueldavidginobili]

even len bias?
Lmao jesus

[Chinook]

:lol

Ugh, you're twisting the words trying to be cute. The point is that assuming you know what a killer looks like or who's harmless based on their appearance is how you end up profiling people. If Primo did something, it doesn't matter what he looked like, and if he didn't, it also doesn't matter. So no, I don't think people are talking about murder because Primo's black, which is what you were trying to suggest. He doesn't "look like a killer", because that's not a thing. No one is reading signs in his face to wonder about that. They're reading a completely absurd situation and trying to draw meaning from it.

[cd98]

Right, most of the stuff we heard that came from behind the scenes over the last couple years barely makes it to rumor status. I mean, we don't even know the details with Parker other than he crossed the line and he was married to a movie star.

[tbdog]

I honestly need to know.

[Trainwreck2100]

Possible. But doubt it everyone will wait till the truth comes out


if it's something minor than a team misses out on picking him up and he can choose wherever he goes. So if a team wants him they don't have the luxury of waiting. Plus there's the prisoner's dilemma scenario where all the teams that can would should wait but if it's a minor issue the team that picks him up gets a cheap former lottery pick

Maybe this is similar to the Spurs waive SJAX scenario.

Doubtful, pop know kids are kids, SJAX basically was a grown ass man who should have known better

[Dex]

Maybe this is similar to the Spurs waive SJAX scenario.

SJax's attitude was well documented and he was an aging vet.

You don't waive a promising young player out of nowhere because of basketball reasons. Suspend him, fine him, bench him....whatever it takes to teach him. But I highly doubt the Spurs are going to sacrifice $8M and one of their bright young stars because he was having attitude.

a) "trying to be cute": bitch, i'm adorable

b) my family guy post was making a joke

c) now you're changing what you said. you didnt say that primo doesnt look like a killer "because that's not a thing." your post literally says he does't "particularly look like a killer". reads quite different

If it is a criminal act that got him suspended, the media will care. That sells. But if it is for a stupid reason like he was upset he wasn't starting, then it will be less crazy, but commentators will still use it for the "...best organization in basketball is falling apart" narrative.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

The ailment cited on the league's official injury report was "Left Glute; Soreness."

read: sore ass loser.

[Kori Ellis]

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.

[MI21]

Something to do with gambling perhaps? Sharing inside information? Fucking strange stuff...

This might be the dumbest take in this entire thread

[cd98]

Yeah, SJAX is a bad comp. And to be honest, the Spurs are responsible for all his success. We kept him in the league when no one wanted him and gave him a stage to showcase his skills and we waived him to create the resentment that he keeps getting on national tv to share.

Though I wish Manu had asked him to be the one to induct him into the HOF instead of Tim.

[tbdog]

I honestly need to know.
