    It’s uncanny quiet though with Primo. I mean no basketball in Asia or smaller league? The guy is not charged. It makes one think PATFO directed him to stay off, fix himself and redeem himself when the time has come. It’s my wishful thinking. I mean PATFO took a big risk on this kid.
    No, it just means he hasn’t accepted that he’ll probably never play in the NBA again. When he does, China and a bag awaits.

    That's how I take it.

    Guys have gotten away with far more and still somehow stayed in the league. I know it was 30 years ago, but Karl Malone impregnated then abandoned a 13-year-old girl for s sake, and the NBA just kinda glossed over all that.

    The Spurs are notorious for not airing out their dirty laundry or making things public. Something tells me there is more to the story that they were gracious enough not to let out, but the fact that other teams aren't even looking at Primo is telling.

    Bridges got a qualifying offer tho
    Bridges of a borderline allstar and was getting the rookie Max if he didn't bash his misses. And he took the QO. No other team would take the PR hit to sign him.

    Bridges isn’t a sex criminal. Different level of disgusting. They don’t make physical abusers register wherever they move.

    I think that happened in college. Not really the NBA’s jurisdiction.

    Still wouldn't fly today.

    Few years ago, there was a college baseball player who had done something similar. He declared for the draft and went undrafted, obviously. I'm sure it'd be the same for any basketball prospect, tbh.

    Far worse for basketball imo. The baseball draft has a jillion rounds and if the guy was uber talented a team probably would have taken a flier in a late round. The NBA draft only has two rounds and far fewer open slots for new players.

    To be fair and honest, neither is Josh Primo.

    In other words there is a huge information gap between fans like us compared to those working in the Spurs staff for example

    How much of our musings here are way off omg

    It’s a shame the Primo situation happened for many reasons. One is that you can see how it’s affected the team’s theory of the case at the PG position, which is where they were pushing him towards. It wasn’t an accident that they took him where they did.

    You have to wonder what this team looks like today had Primo had a good season last year, and being posed this summer to take the 3rd year leap this one.

    You know why Primo isn't in the league besides being a flasher? He's slow as molasses and sucks.

    Partial truth. A head did ruin his career.

    Nah, I don't let him off the hook like you do. Pop is a jack ass. These kids in nfl, nba, mlb and other sports do far worse than anything Josh did. He would be in jail if he did anything worth it. Also, the Spurs Coach's job is to mentor these players both on and off the court. His role is to also not pass judgement on the community or politics from a company chair. These dudes constantly let him get away with it. No one in their right mind would come play here for this guy. I'm tired of the Pop .

    Josh only walked because his money was guaranteed. Josh Primo was bad ass in college, the summer league and every time he put on a Spurs uniform. Now tell me, who is the dh? If he had mental issues and he was in counseling, then why not be a hero coach and step in and help the kid. Probably because Josh called Pop a pussy just like DeMar and Dejounte did. Pop.

    To be fair Primo may have helped us land Wemby. We might not have been as bad of a team last year if he was balling out.

    I’m sorry — what? You come off as a real asshole if that’s what you honestly believe. You’re telling me you would want to work with a person everyday that pathologically exposed himself to his female colleagues? Don’t you care at all about them? Also, it sounds like they did try to work with him, as much as I really hate that, and Brian Wright actually fired the sports psychologist that he kept exposing himself to.

    when my sports teams sign one of those guys who have done “far worse,” I usually stop following the team. I see that is not you, but that says a lot about your character — not so much Pop’s. You’re probably one of those jack asses that thought all the gross t-shirts and mannequins Browns fans made for Deshaun Watson were hilarious.

    I still can't believe Brandon Miller is in the league after what he did at Alabama.

    When your buddy calls you at 3AM and says, "hey, bring your loaded gun down to me" you know it's not going to end well. Then you're literally in the room when the dude guns down some girl using your piece?

    And somehow he's now the #2 overall pick and should be celebrated?

    Alabama basketball is a dumpster fire. Primo with his bizarre flashing ways. The two players that are on trial for capital murder (Darius Miles, Michael Lynn Davis) for killing Jamea Jonae Harris and then Brandon Miller who facilitated the murder but on a legal technicality is able to skate away unscathed.
