I think it cut out right before Pop said: "DPG, this was for you fam!"

Injuries cut careers short in every draft. The bigger point I was making was that draft year was so terrible that there wasn't realistically anyone who would have been better for the Spurs. They couldn't handle silly Mahinmi then there's no way Whiteside would have worked. Lance Stephenson was arrested for allegedly knocking his girlfriend down a flight of stairs 2 months after being drafted, then finished his rookie season demoted to the inactive list for violating team rules. No way he lasts.
Pretty strong statement from Pop, especially after saying he cant say much.
Man, PATFO must think they have a pretty air tight case here.
A strongish statement from RC yesterday and an even stronger one from Pop today. Makes me think that BWrong is probably safe but they're leaving themselves pretty exposed if a lot more bad comes to light tbh.
Nobody says it does. What it does do/should do is contextualize the civil case. For example, a public defender defending someone starring down child porn charges at some level understands that they are going to be exposed to uncomfortable stuff when taking that client on. That’s relevant here too, which is why I think the corroboration of other victims is going to be essential for the plaintiffs case.
Pop saying what any coach would in his position tbh. Just gotta hope this wasn’t known by he or RC for a long time before news broke.
pop says wait for the details….
Well said. Pop gon’ Pop. Ultimate Puppeteer.
Not even hating, let that man sail off into the sunset or the wine field or even more fulfilling an endless amount of hot ass tiktok hoes that only want him for his money. He earned it. Salut.
Anderson was on fire before the injury and was getting extended playing time
Welp, Pop is almost convincing...
Yet there is zero explanation for Wright waiting months to respond APPROPRIATELY to the accuser and her query...
unless the accuser is full of and she didn't actually "clearly" report the crime as they alleged in the presser?
This has been a really weird start to an NBA season. Utah and the Spurs doing really well in spite of the tanking predictions - still early though, Ben Simmons, Kyrie & Durant, James Harden injuries (what else is new) , the Lakers sucking real bad and now Primo. Its enough to make Adam Silver tear his hair out if he had any.
So basically you are providing an explanation to the very thing you’re up in arms about and says has “zero explanation”? Nice
Yeah, but he's not just another coach, he's more or less the entire franchise. Or at least that's how everyone sees the Spurs.
Honestly, at this point I have no clue what to think about this situation anymore. Hopefully the truth comes out, regardless of what happened.
Until then, Pop deserves benefit of the doubt, no question. But heads will roll over this, because some people definitely knew what was going on.
Sadly, a huge Kyrie issue has become the norm...
People thought Dejounte had a bad at ude, but it turns out Primo was a bit of a too, really.
define "on fire"
I remember being pleasantly surprised at his shooting and general scoring ability. He shot with range and seemed to fit in with the team.
Then the broke foot
They will just throw enough money at the accuser and her lawyer and the case will be dropped.
key word is “if”
we dont know if the accuser “clearly” reported the crime
we have ZERO explanation as to why wright waited months to respond
“Pop, why did y’all cut Primo?”
That’s the ultimate question.
right that was my point.
^ I think I was agreeing with you
One team cut the player as soon as other incidents came to light (if you believe the Minnesota etc story).
The other stashed him away while there were dozens of accusations out there (none where details are shielded by HIPAA) and then traded him to another de able organization. To be fair, Watson actually had significant trade value for a team that has the worst roster in the league.
Primo appears to be a predator, while Watson is a certified predator and s bag.
And especially after Pop’s statement that came out after your post, my money is on the Spurs being pretty buttoned up on this one. This isn’t the Washington Commies or the Nyets.
Hopefully a few people on here understand what a difficult situation the organization was in with this. You have several groups of people involved and the shrink, the team could not say anything
regarding the player over the last year or so. A single source isn't good enough. Did the shrink conduct her sessions at the practice facility? Or at her office. Your hands are tied as a business in these situations due to HIPPA/ privacy laws - and that means not only the psych doctor's but the team had to be VERY careful regarding the player. She was not at liberty to talk, but was going to do so with the bottomfeeder/lawyer. It's a mess and the lawyers (yuck) will sort it out.
Coach Pop was dead serious there too with his comments. I like the Pop that stays on the subject matter of basketball in a measured way and doesn't veer off to all the other things like he tends to do now. I'm sure the Spurs budget for background investigations will go up significantly going forward - a mistake like this on player selection is a costly situation. The player himself will probably have a very difficult time getting his basketball career back. Everyone will look at him with su ion.
The medical professional hired will have a tough time in the future as well. Its a rotten situation.
