In all seriousness, it’s pretty sad the Primo situation turned out the way it did, because if he really was the future star and franchise player the front office thought he was, our PG situation would already be resolved.
Heard the warriors were interested also but a Curry back court was too y for The Bay Area.

It’s not sad at all. If he was any good, he wouldn’t be out of the league like he is. Had he gone to the clippers and broke out, I would have eaten crow and admitted I made a mistake on him. Yeah on a system like the Spurs, he might have reached his full potential. But it’s a big what if. We have Wemby, stop crying over scrubs like Primo. I’m more confident in our #4 and #8 pick than I would be in Primo.
all Spurs fans are. i really think his being waived was the final impetus for the big tank. not that he was helping the team much.
Primo is counting $1 million on the Clippers cap for next year. Why did they guarantee him money over two years?
The sad part is the Spurs scouting and decision making thinking a terminally slow and unexplosive guard with weak analytics (at least in Locke's simplified system) was somehow worth drafting.
Maybe they fell in love with his big smile and 'intangibles,' during their private interviews and special workouts.
Even sadder would be if the Spurs learned the wrong lesson from that disaster.
The lesson about be to stop thinking that they the decision makers are smart and somehow ahead of the curve. They should prepare and work as though they're stupid and not skip steps. Preparing as a stupid person makes you be thorough, it make you ask basic questions and hit baseline minimums, getting over yourself. That's how 6ou catch the red flags of athleticism and weak analytics.
I hope they don't think the Primo lesson is better mental health screening or personality tests or background investigations. Sometimes problem people will go unnoticed until disaster happens. If they still think that Primo was a superstar talent, face of the franchise, genius scouting revelation to take at 11 and surprising everyone .... Then they're going to make the same mistakes and do some bad drafting when there's not the goat prospect as an obvious pick.
The current Celtics team has some interesting options too.
Imagine if TOR selects Edey with 19. That Edey- two man game would be legendary.
its L.A. Baby
Anyone know his current basketball endeavors?
Maybe wait until the start of this upcoming season to see if any team signs him / offers a tryout?
Not a word that i can find on the Interweb.
Instead of the crow eating, you keeping opting for the primo meat! Brother let it go! ( see what I did there? Of course you didn’t! )
