Shams: Spurs Waive Josh Primo

[scott]

I think the theory that his statement is getting ahead of some bad news coming is likely the right one.

[Kurik]

Gambling at 19 seems crazy but maybe? I feel like he would still be on the team even if there was a 1 year suspension.

[offset formation]

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.

Gambling would likely not relate to a long standing trauma from his past...doesnt make sense.

[TekXX]

Why are so many reaching for a suicide attempt? I can think of 100 things before suicide attempt and the Spurs wouldn't handle the situation like this if it was that. Primo obviously did something the Spurs want no part of and Primo is reaching for the mental health card to deflect from whatever he did.

Gambling would still be more a team suspension

Probably because he talked about mental health to ESPN

Underage drinking?

Fight with Vassell during practice that hurt Vass?

Leaking Spurs tank intel to Adam Silver?

[J_Paco]

Not pretty much. It's like we didn't have a 2021 draft in 2022. A- ing-mazing.

Sorry that my phrasing bothered you. LOL

Point is its a bummer to lost out on a draft class entirely, sure, but Joe was a fringe talent (who's one skill didn't materialize) and Josh seems to ended his own career prematurely.

Again, it sucks ass and I agree that picking the "safer" pick in Sengun should've been the move. But that bridge has been crossed already and we have three prospects that can likely do what we hoped Sengun & what the Spurs hoped Josh and Joe could.

I mentioned gambling too, but also thought about that mental trauma part, it seems like every scenario has some way of debunking the theory just based on the various statements released between the team and now Primo himself

[GAustex]

Diddling under age girls

Or boys?

[Chomag]

I just hope Vassell isn't wrapped up in this somehow

[exstatic]

Or Could just be Pop power tripping in his twilight and no one in the org able to take the keys away from him.

If it was like the old rumors of cutting Stephen Jackson because he wouldn't say that someone else was better him.

Hope it's not a Pop-tripping scenario

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

Caught juicing? Dude went hulk this summer lol

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.

While the NBA.com store has Branham, Roby, and Bates-diop Spurs jerseys they have no Josh Primo jerseys

[ducks]

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

Time for new blood
Wtf have they done lately since the last le

[objective]

I'm actually thinking this is on one of the worst case scenarios.

Simply because the Spurs FO is smart.

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.

Suspension maybe but to just cut him.? Idk

Lol, didn't bother me, I was actually kind of just highlighting your point. It's insane that we have neither of our 2021 draft picks, including out lottery pick only 1 year later.

[KobesAchilles]

Was watching the World Series and then I come across this . Do I still have to wait to tell if he’s a ing 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 ing Primo.

[emmo]

Really hope this has nothing to do with kids.

[Trainwreck2100]

Caught juicing? Dude went hulk this summer lol

that ain't mental health

[Chinook]

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

[exstatic]

Removing all evidence of him means something bad.

That’s the one thing I keep circling back to. Teams don’t do that, like ever.

Pulled off Spurs instagram too.
