Shams: Spurs Waive Josh Primo

[exstatic]

Wonder if he was lying to his girlfriend about the situation and why he got waived. This morning she switched her profile picture from a picture of just her to a picture of them two, and then the news hits and she removed her photo completely. Pretty crazy Pop was raving about this kids maturity and how he is wise beyond his years and what not and this kid turned out to be an absolute freak lol.

On the court. Different thing altogether.

This really sucks though that two of the Spurs higher picks in recent years (Primo and Samanic) have not even made it two seasons with the team before getting cut loose. I can’t complain with how this season has otherwise started, but is the FO character detectors busted??? This is unprecedented.

Both of those guys were combine finds. There isn’t time to vet or do background on guys like that, so they probably should focus on players they scout, long term.

Luka was the 19th pick guys. The chances of those picks busting are really high statistically. Not an apples to apples comp.

In 2021, sure I get the Sengun takes, but people are getting a little carried away too (4 more teams passed on him after us too). His best case is Vuc, but like Vuc today he’ll struggle to carve out a role in the modern nba.

No more stupid Diversity hires!!!

ing Brian Wrong would be flipping burgers if he didn’t diversity hire himself to GM position.

Yeah, can't say that we missed out on a potential all-star by picking Primo.
Sengun is basically Kanter 2.0, probably even worse on defense.

Right because that’s what happened here. 🙄. Dude got caught and was cut. Also don’t lump us all in this due to the ty actions of one person. And women’s rights? What are you talking about? Since when do they not have rights?

While these are the actions of one person, it’s not just one person.

All this is ”alleged”. If true then it’s abhorrent BUT what if it’s a girl that thought she was the one but once he stuck with his woman she decided to pull this . We already know we can’t fall for the “me too” believe all women . Why can’t the kid have his day in court? Pop is so woke he would believe all women and take it too far.

Because he did it again at the hotel in Minny last week. He will have his day in court.

[exstatic]

Lol. You’re a moron. They aren’t free? Seriously? What are women not free to do in this country?

Have an abortion?

Some maid in a hotel in Minny is going to think she’s the one?

Perhaps some of the contract gurus (self-described?) on this board can answer this question about the standard NBA team/player contract. Is there a "morals clause" in the standard NBA contract that provides an way for a team to get rid of a player if he violates specific items in a morals clause.
Lots of employment contracts in various industries used to have morals clauses in them, however it might be that the NBA players association got this removed from the contractual agreements at some time in negotiations. I suppose morals clauses were/are hard to enforce unless the employer can use facts like criminal prosecution as an excuse for termination. But failute to act in a prudent manner by suspension or firing might void their position vis a vis the terms of the contractual wording of the agreement. It is clear to me from his voluntary statement that Primo must have fessed up to the team officials to at least some part of the accusations.

Of course morals clauses might just be a relic of an earlier time when a Supreme Court Justice could write in an opinion about pornography, "You know it when you see it." And the moral atmosphere about sexual practices in the country today is such that any morals clause might be problematic anyway. However, so much was made of the "me too" movement some years ago that it is clear to me that any organization like the Spurs would have to move quickly on something like this or risk financial and publicity problems that would cripple the franchise. They did.

Therefore, It is ludicrous to suggest that the Spurs FO knew anything about this problem until the recent incident. No team would knowingly ignore or cover up any indications of serious sexual predation at any time, whether before the draft or during a season as now.

Is the Minnesota hotel thing confirmed? I thought that was still a reddit thing and only the Spurs internal employee was confirmed ?

I’m losing track tbh.

Not sure I saw the Minnesota thing confirmed. There was some reporting from “reliable” sports tweeters that there were multiple separate instances of him exposing himself.

Wish I still spoke to my former boss. His son was chief? legal counsel for the nba and reviewed all nba contracts.

Spurs should‘ve taken a closer look at his signature

That's not even close to a J or a P. Straight up dude is drawing balls and a .

[Spurs Homer]

Jesus man, have you heard anything about a right women had for 50 years being removed by a court paid for and selected by the Federalist Society? Five of whom were selected by a president that lost the popular vote?

You boys in red hats would be storming the capitol -- oh wait bad example -- if Democrats were passing laws like that. Conservatives / Republicans are crybaby assholes with warped versions of reality and it's never going to get better because you guys are gullible fools as evidenced by your comment above. CNN and MSNBC while left leaning to some extent, don't feed daily propaganda to the zombie class and wind them up like toy soldiers.

well said

Listening to nba radio just now. Amin El Hassin? was implying that Primo had these issues going back to some prep school days. That he was kicked out of prep school, possibly for the same reason? That the spurs would have had to have known about that incident if he could find it without much effort.
