Shams: Spurs Waive Josh Primo

[Mugen]

I've wanted the old man and BWrong gone for a while now, but not for this.

The pearl clutching from some of you nerds based on one press conference from a glorified ambulance chaser is hilarious tbh

I think their case is going to hinge on other victims coming forward. They need the Vegas and Minnesota victims to corroborate. At the end of the day if they don't get that they just have her word against his..

And if the Spurs are smart, they've already paid them off if they exist.

True dat

[Mugen]

Thank god for Kyrie tbh

The Spurs better not cave to this but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Ha. Not how it works my man. That applies in a court of law only and has varying levels of proof depending on if its a civil or criminal trial. A civil trial only demands the preponderance of the evidence, meaning basically 50.1%.

Its truly ludicrous to believe pop was never informed and I pity anyone that truly believes he didnt.

Also, you are not biased at all.
for sure

It's just bizarre that she didn't go to HR which is the standard thing to do in situations like these, but instead wanted a sit down with the general manager of the Spurs?

Tony Buzbee - "The Spurs' public statement about Primo's departure is a complete farce."

WTF? That statement said nothing.

She went to Wright first, but I think the lawsuit also says they were dealing with Spurs counsel Brandon James and human resources head Kara Allen.

Also a bit bizarre that she tried to go out of her way to make sure Pop knew about it. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she must not have known ...... but, yeah, you go to HR right away. If HR has nine reports for each of the nine flashes and HR didn't think of sending Primo to a different mental health expert or stepping in and stopping the sessions while an investigation took place, then the Spurs need to fire the HR department.

Possibly but which of the words in the press release was a farce?

“It is our hope that, in the long run, this decision will serve the best interest of both the organization and Joshua."

She was probably trying to make sure Pop knew about it, because she honestly believed he would do the right thing.

bruh thats Greg Abott, not Gregg Popovich

[MannyIsGod]

So, I didn't watch the Press conference, and I'm not a lawyer, but this is my take on the situation:

We still have no idea bout multiple situations. Its pretty clear that the in the lawsuit is just rumors. Buzzbee should have been able to contact the hotel where the Spurs were staying and gotten actual conformation if that story was true. The lack of specifics makes me believe this is just reaching.

Primo's lawyer's statement seems like boilerplate denial. That being said, if it turns out that the exposure was just Primo's being visible underneath his basketball shorts, then IDK this seems really in weak. I really don't want to cast any doubt on the victim, but if this is what it is then what the ? Honestly if he was still on the team I would really be doubting a lot of this but the fact that the Spurs waived him has to mean that there's truth to the accusations, right?

If I had to wager money on how this played out, Primo did it, the GM tried to downplay it/cover it up, Pop later found out and actually made the Spurs take action regarding this . Thats me guessing a lot, but the fact that they've made it Pop didn't know at the beginning makes me believe he may actually be on her side.

Also LMAO @ any notion that a case with Buzbee isn't about money.

[timvp]

She was probably trying to make sure Pop knew about it, because she honestly believed he would do the right thing.

That'd be fair.

It's interesting that Buzbee basically admitted that Pop never knew. I wonder if the Spurs told him Pop didn't know until Primo got waived.

bruh thats Greg Abott, not Gregg Popovich

Yeah, that was the joke.

Against our spineless, cowardly, corrupt, POS governor?

You got me. Yeah I'm biased against him. him and anyone that votes for him.

[DPG21920]

I mean, I feel sorry for her and it sounds like she was likely victimized, but Buzbee's press conference was a failure since he had no details of anything else happening regarding Primo and even seemed to reference the Reddit Four Season rumor while trying to make it sound legit until he was pressed on it.

Brian Wright should have known better (the guy is specifically educated in this area). He might lose his job because of this (I haven't heard enough yet to say he should lose his job, though). Obviously, he couldn't waive Primo back in December. After reaching for Primo at 12, imagine if he would have waived him a few months later. That would have been the end of Wright's basketball front office career.

Internally, Wright's probably saying that he kept sending Primo to the mental health expert since Primo was having mental health issues. That's ........ going to be difficult logic to crack and say he should be fired.

I dont know Unc. That wont track if he knew she reported this to him and his solution was to….keep sending him back to her? That is will get him fired IMO if true.

Ya, sending someone who needs help to a mental health expert is logical. Sending them to the same one that has accused him of exposing himself? Nah.

How'd that ambulance chaser do against the Texans? One of their higher ups recently resigned in addition to a settlement they paid out reportedly partially for the handling of the Watson matter. And Watson paid a penny or two though Primo is no Watson, he'll pay to. Not sure why there arre people defending them if the alleged facts pan out.

"Once Primo's conduct entered the public sphere, the Spurs were forced to act and release Primo." -- Tony Buzbee

This is another line from Buzbee that didn't make sense. Nothing regarding Primo entered the public sphere until after they released Primo. That's why everyone was scrambling trying to figure out WTF happened. Buzbee is acting like that Reddit Four Seasons rumor came out first ... but that wasn't the case. The Spurs waived Primo first and then all of this media scrutiny followed.

If I'm Dr. Cauthen, I'd be pissed regarding that train wreck of a press conference, tbh. Too many holes, too many rumors paraded as facts, too many disprovable claims.

thats greg abbott, not gregg popovich

Damn
It came out awkward
I'm not interested in American politics

This stood out to me too, because as you mentioned... the Spurs didn't really say anything. Honestly it just makes Buzbee look like the cave troll he is.

Watson was what, 26 different women that came forward?

I'm not saying there won't be firings over this and a settlement, but to take the statements made by Buzbee as fact is hilarious tbh
