If there's a really great reason for this, then so be it, but if not, this is not Pop and the front office resting on their laurels, it's them abusing it at this point.

Not according to the agreement they sign when they buy the ticket
I gotta agree. He didn't really show much of anything over the last year and some change. That could've changed overtime, but that time is over and we gotta hope Branham, Wesley or both show more.
Maybe he's a MAGA idiot?
Seriously though, Avery Johnson punched Malik Rose and he remained on the team. Stephen Jackson was canned when he refused to admit Manu and LDN were better than him. This is really mysterious.
Yeah and let's not forget about Luka, the 19th pick in 2019 and the 12 pick in 2020 are both off the team, insanity.
We straight…. I have no words for you. Be easy
i would lol if its something minor
wtf just happened
Something like DV or SA would be way more likely, not only because they aren't ing killing someone but because they are also things that are still dependent on a victim cooperating with police to get arrests and convictions. Or if he did something like pushing Pop or injuring Vassell, it could be a thing the Spurs know he did it but might've waived him in lieu of pressing charges? Still feels that would only come after a pattern of behavior. Kawhi showed the Spurs can actually keep stuff under wraps, but they probalby wouldn't've been so keen in their praise of Primo if he was acting like a Primo donna behind the scenes
The only explanation that makes sense is that he had an injury and the team did an MRI and found something terminal that needs immediate treatment? At that point you waive him and keep silent about it out of respect for Primo and his family?
I'm sure Dejounte Murray will have some things to say tonight. Maybe he'll break the news
What we know:
-Primo was highly thought of behind the scenes
-Primo was literally the team's poster boy over the summer. He was trotted out by RC Buford at every opportunity
-The Spurs picked up Primo's $4+ million option two weeks ago
-Primo and his GF's socials are hidden
-Primo missed the last game with a glue injury. That injury checks out though because the previous game he landed hard
-The only su ious thing about the injury is he wasn't on the injury report the day before the game but then suddenly wasn't able to play in the game. That's not super su ious, though. If his glute was spasming or wouldn't loosen before the game, that's reasonable he wouldn't play and explain why he wasn't on the injury report previously
-Primo didn't play but was at the game and seemed into it and seemed to be acting normal
-RC's quote would be really odd if it turns out to be something legal ... but, then again, RC can be an odd bird and he could have just copy-and-pasted some boilerplate quote from HR
-Pop delayed his talking to the media before the game by about 45 minutes. During that time, Primo was waived. So obviously the final decision was being made during that time
-Pop won't hint at what it was. Sean Elliott didn't know anything. The Spurs are refusing to even pick up the phone
-Primo is regarded as an extremely high character kid who works hard. His high character and natural leadership skills are basically what the Spurs pointed to when justifying their reach of drafting him at 12. He was projected to be a late first round pick -- at best
-Primo comes off as a very, very confident person. Like Kobe-level of confidence. I don't know how that factors in ... but I guess it might be notable
-Primo has had the same girlfriend since before he was drafted. They have a shared TikTok that was updated three days ago. Again, not sure if this is part of the puzzle
-If you're a conspiracy theorist, it might be notable that RC Buford had the Primo quote and not Brian Wright. Wright is the person most responsible for drafting Primo ... but, yeah, Buford is higher on the totem pole in the organization so that again is unlikely to mean anything
-Even people usually in the know have no idea what happened
Shocking stuff, tbh

He wanted to celebrate Columbus Day?
I'm sure he argued about playing time and got cut
You are talking about what exactly?
Some kind of liability release?
I'm talking about the fact that people pay thousands and thousands of dollars every year for season tickets. A situation like this will leave the season ticket holders scratching their heads wondering if anyone over there is actually doing their job and taking care of player acquisition in a responsible way.
Zapping the enthusiasm of the fan base is a big deal - you do understand the concept of goodwill? The organization took a big hit in that area today. It matters! It's a lose lose situation.
It literally says nothing at all, which was their intention, I’m sure.
Did he pull a kobe in colorado?
Maybe Primo's uncle started acting up?!
This might be the most plausible scenario, TBH, and the organization wants to respect Primo's privacy by not divulging the details.
Makes more sense than murder.
Based on how they've handled things the last few years, I would expect it to be over something petty or avoidable or manageable instead of something felonious. Not saying it's not criminal prison worthy, but screwing things up that were avoidable is what this front office excels at.
Not to suggest I have better sources than timvp, but a reporter friend in SA sent me this as we were chatting about Primo:
https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022...ore-sapd-says/
He is playing coy when I asked directly if he has confirmed Primo is connected to this
Has anyone heard from Brent Barry’s wife?
