Regardless of how strong this case is...How in the holy do you have this happen twice and guarantee his contract for next season? I mean that's executive malpractice..
Don’t buy that for a second. They’re just protecting Pop tbh.Brian Wright didn't tell Pop?wtf

weird that Buzbee is pretty much shielding Pop too tbh.
Yeah they should have waived him after the summer league incident tbh
Watched the stream of the press conference. LOL at the door handles as they were exiting, sharks.
All this over Joshua ing Primo…
Should've just taken Sengün and been done with it smh.
Pop harbored a sexual predator?
Very possible but idk it would explain why he looked so ing pissed when the news of his waiving first broke. I can believe Brian Wright trying to squash this to protect his Primo pick but I don't believe Pop wouldn't care about something like this.
So someone from the Spurs organization leaked all of this stuff along with Primo exposing himself in Minnesota last week
Did Buzbee just admit to getting the Minnesota rumor from Reddit?
I think the Buzbee shielding Pop thing is probably a strategy to get the case settled for a lot of money.
Spurs can't sit on their hands anymore. If they don't respond, they will lose the PR battle.
But as a lawyer, I can tell you that the therapist will be a good witness and given what we know about Minnesota and Las Vegas, it is almost certain more women will come out, and what is more scary for the Spurs is that there may be more within the organization itself.
from what i gathered, it does not seem as if pop knew but the victim had been told otherwise. buzbee seemed to suggest that the spurs administration, and perhaps wright himself, had told her that pop knew but there was no solid confirmation of this and it appeared to be lie. but if wright knew, and told no one, he needs to go.Brian Wright didn't tell Pop?
Might also explain why RC is the one who made the initial statement and Wright hadn't made a peep
Lots of holes in their story. Especially how they passed along rumors as facts. Apparently there’s a Vegas incident and the Minnny incident. But when pressed for details he said “according to reports from you”. Who? The press? There are no news reports. No police reports. Is Buzbee on spurtalk?
They say the rumors are coming from within the Spurs organization.
Did he also talk about the murder?Did Buzbee just admit to getting the Minnesota rumor from Reddit?
why would buzbee try to protect pop? it was buzbee himself who said it appeared that his client was lied to when she was told that pop knew. now, one could argue that pop was intentionally kept out of the loop so as to protect him. the interesting dynamic here will be in hearing how wright and pop would continue on if wright did shield pop from this information.
The good citizens of SA will be way more willing to give money to a sympathetic plaintiff (don’t know if she is one) if BWrong is the target. If they’re going after Pop, they’re way more likely to get poured out. You see this happen all the time with difficult defendants - you ally them by saying they didn’t known and had they, none of this would have happened.
No wonder the Spurs didn't settle. Unless there's something more, that press conference was mostly a nothingburger looking at it from a liability angle.
Discovery is a thing.
You don't think that's going to look really bad in front of a jury that the Spurs were forced to release him?
Why? They released Primo because of conduct that is the subject of the lawsuit. That’s an admission.
then he went public and asked other "victims" to step up. the problem with this is that there will obviously be false accusers and there will also perhaps be some legitimate ones.
Criminal prosecution is likely to go no where, especially if there is only one case in Bexar County and Primo has the financial ability to hire a good attorney and is a celebrity by San Antonio standards.
The civil matter is a little more interesting. I don't think that a jury is going to go wild on the Spurs in Bexar County unless there is more than one victim from within the organization and they can show the Spurs were actively enabling Primo. And it's BS to suggest that a lottery pick had these types of allegations and Pop never heard about it.
I've always said Pop was a low risk truth teller. It is easy to speak out for BLM or against Columbus because you won't pay a price. But not taking action against Primo after the accusation from a credible source to protect your draft asset is damning and if more gets out, there will be a price to pay for silence and inaction.
Not trying to be a “sniffer” but the Spurs could potentially have a really clean cover here.
in a case like this, the right thing to do when these allegations are brought forward would be to hire an independent investigator. If that investigation came back inconclusive or not supporting the claim then the actions the Spurs took per Buzbee would be consistent with that. Separating her from the team and trying to mediate the issue are legit remedies in the case where an investigation yields no credible evidence (and in this case, it would literally be he said/she said in which case an investigators job is to probe the witnesses to find inconsistencies in their story).
A written report would come out of the investigation but it would NEVER be shared with the victim or the accused. That is not appropriate. The only people who ever see the report would be management.
not saying that happened, but it isn’t inconsistent with Buzbee’s telling of the timeline
