They still dont wipe everything they had of Primo if it was truly your scenario
I'm thinking Primo asked to be released moreso than the team like kicking him out. Like he was waived as a favor or per his request/preference not as a punishment from the org.
If it's a suicide attempt, primo might prefer to be freed from his contractual obligations to take time for himself to address his mental heath.

Should PATFO be held accountable for grooming minors? That can fk a child upppp.
Maybe he ed a 17 year-old.
Considering we have paid him for next season. Sit out the season and take it from there. To waive him? Must be more to it.
On the bright side, Blake Wesley looked good in his first real minutes in a NBA game.
It sucks to pretty much dump the entire 2021 draft out the window, but again I think Wesley (as a lead/combo guard) and Branham (as a shooter) are better prospects.
And I definitely think Primo's statement comes across as someone trying to get in front of a scandal.
Primo released a statement kinda reads like he is dealing with past mental health trauma ie. Lonnie Walker - I am guessing but his camp statement reads like something from past so either mental trauma or drug issue - But glad no dead bodies and Kerr wife is OK.
This team kinda reminds me of that Celtics group a few years ago with IT, young Tatum and Brown.
Edit : ! Wrong thread.
The Spurs have pulled all their Primo merchandise. By all accounts, they didn't try to shop and trade him. They didn't tell him to take a leave of absence. It looks to me like they are trying to remove all connections and associations to him. That doesn't point toward a mental health / suicidal issue.
If he asked to be released wouldn't his statement have thanked the Spurs for accommodating him?
Any intel on whether Vassell is caught up in this some how? Hope not.
Not pretty much. It's like we didn't have a 2021 draft in 2022. A- ing-mazing.
Caught with cheese pizza?
but yeah even that suicide theory doesn't really overlap well. This is such a bizarre mystery. Primo himself mentions mental health in his statement also mentioning privacy at this time. At this time it doesn't seem like a criminal or abuse incident. I suppose if it was domestic violence his girl could've declined to press charges and then that would be abuse without any paper trail. Suppose Primo could still be the bad guy here so I reserve judgment.
But his statement makes it sound like a mental collapse which is why I think it was a suicide attempt. Lines up well with the beginning of the season with a tall ask from the coaches and the pressures of the big stage at that young an age? Stress is one of a trip.
But yeah, I'm at a loss here. It's sudden and inexplicable.
Probly does not like the economy under Biden
But if it is not that
Hope he gets the help he needs
He Did not need to get waived though
Yeah, it reeks of a huge story that will drop. I’m sad this had to be Primo, I had high hopes for him. At least we still have Sochan.
Should be great handheld. Loved playing P4G handheld in English, though was hard to read the kanji playing in Japanese at 540p on the Vita.
Did he tell Pop that he is not a pg?
All kidding and speculation aside, this is so odd. If it's a mental issue most likely the Spurs would put him on a leave of absence not waive him.
If it is what you think it is, and what I think it is(my opinion not based off any insider info) gambling on the team, is the only clean way out of this.
This is all pretty crazy
Anyone think it could be gambling on Spurs games? I would hope it's something like this rather than something like DV or a more serious crime
Key to remember his name and likeness are all but gone as a Spur within hours of this. That's not a mental health collapse. It's almost assuredly a potential or pending criminal issue.
LOL we literally posted this at the same time... Way too steal my first post thunder lol.....back to lurking!
At the end of the day he flat out quit and also told the team to wipe his existence or he did something terrible. Pop isn’t going to waive a player he raved about his confidence and maturity when he was 18 years old unless them two sat down and Primo said he was done. But even if that happened I feel like Pop would be able to convince him to take a year off and see where he’s at after a year instead of just cutting ties. Again he was on the bench cheering them on 48 hours ago.
If Primo asked for a release, I would think the Spurs would have put that they were honoring Primos request in their statement. I would think Primos statement would have thanked the Spurs for honoring his request.
I don't see the Spurs waiving him for a suicide attempt.
I don't see the Spurs waiving him for a drug case or a domestic violence case.
I don't see the Spurs pulling all his merchandise immediately after waiving him for any of the above.
It looks to me that the Spurs are getting ahead of something. And whatever they are getting ahead of, they didn't want the stories to say Spurs guard Joshua Primo in them
