    They didn’t believe Cauthen and let her go. He then exposed himself in Vegas and in Minny on the last road trip, letting them know they ed up. Once it became public rumblings, he had to go.
    I believe the phrase is, “bet on the wrong horse.”

    Primos attorney is from a big firm in LA who admittedly does have some experience in related cases but appears to be fixated on race issues. I don’t see that being smart strategy with a multi millionaire 19 year old in front of a largely Hispanic community.

    Yeah - kid is accused of flashing his to women on mulitple occasions, so attorney decides to play race card. Should work, right ?

    Lawyers don’t work for free. If there’s no money, there’s no fee.

    I think that's pretty close to what their position would be...that's the only way they can try and justify guaranteeing his contract...

    I’m here for the drama if it helps the tank.

    #FreeLilPrimo #justiceForCathy

    What probably happens is the NBA takes our 2023 FRP as a consequence of PATFO thinking they are smarter than anyone else.

    Now we know the guy likes to show off his buddy without taking his pants off, apparently this is undeniable.

    But, had she told Joshua to keep his buddy in his place that made her uncomfortable?
    I'm not sure how she can't talk directly to Primo and stop this behavior since the beginning as a woman and a Dr.
    Did she want to help Primo as a Psychologist or did she just want a punishment from the organization?

    and then she simply took action after her contract was not renewed.

    The more I think about it, releasing Primo is a really bad fact: the spurs are first party observers to the conduct being alleged. They had the conversations at issue, etc. they are also notorious for player loyalty (50 mills, the Gasol deal etc) and they decided to let Primo go.

    There’s no rational explanation for waiving Primo a week or two after you gave him $8 million if you believed he did nothing wrong. The extension would incentivize the Spurs to do everything in their power to keep someone that they have a bag of money too and were touting him as a franchise player.

    Somewhere, they got information about him that caused the organization to believe they had to cut him. There’s no other explanation.

    I’d be curious to find out when the org received Buzbee’s demand letter and how that timing lines up with last Friday. But to waive this guy and then get sued 6 days later is a horrible ing look.
    My speculation would be that something irrefutable happened in Minnesota and they cut him because of that. Just a guess of course because it makes no sense if she has really been making these claims for 10 months.

    On the surface it looks like that Wright knew, and tried to sweep it under the rug, and something in Minnesota happened, scrambled, cut him, and now all is breaking loose.

    There are questions about who knew and when. They weren’t clear on that, they weren’t clear on the meeting with counsel and HR.

    It’s disturbing AF if all of this is true and. primo is some sicko sexual predator. It’s as bad if Wright knew, did zilch and just tried to cover it up.

    Today raised as many questions as answers IMO.

    I love Buzbee walking the tightrope with Pop. Basically, he is pointing the finger at Wright, a relatively unknown and not particularly popular GM and the teams' attorneys, who no one knows. Smart move in SA to not go after Pop or RC. I'm still not sure its a good lawsuit in SA. They better have damn good evidence. I don't expect a medical professional to allow a kid to expose himself repeatedly in different sessions and waiting to report this to the GM because you wanted an in-person meeting rather than sending a more direct communication. However, waiving him right before the lawsuit also seems off as well.

    We will know if Wright resigns. I was curious why RC made the original team statement and not Wright. Not that RC isn't in a position to make the statement but usually the GM would address a team waiver, or at least I would think.

    This seems weird. Exposing himself in a therapy session. It’s just odd and she kept meeting him. Even more strange.

    Obviously if you’re exposing yourself you got issues so maybe she inadvertently prompted him or triggered him.

    Something seems kinda fishy here.

    Yeah, and I’m not saying it’s right, but, did she tell him whatever he did was innapropriate?

    Did he pull his shorts down and expose himself? Or what? This will all come out later but, again, more questions

    I know what she means...but the way Tom wrote that tweet it sounds like Wright exposed himself to her in public ...

    I'm withholding judgement until both sides get to plead their case, but... I wanna know how the team psychiatrist can't (within a month's time) get within earshot of the GM for 5 seconds to say, "I have a serious concern about one of your players that I need to speak with you about, in private".... and couldn't do that with the coach for 7 months.

    The Front Office probably said, "We can't ruin a teenager's life without proof, so we will investigate it until such a time as we get proof."

    But they absolutely should not have let him back in her private office alone with her if there were allegations from her of what he did.

    9 times also. Like me, if someone exposed themselves once I’d be like, alright we’re done here. I want the GM, RC everyone in a meeting right now or I’m going to the press.

    From timvp's notes:

    -Cauthen began working for the Spurs in April of 2021. Her job was to help players become “better players and better people.” Cauthen, who Buzbee pointed out has five degrees and was a former college athlete, says that the Spurs job was her dream job.
    Did Cauthen work with all the players or only some?

    Was there some criteria for a player's sessions with Cauthen (e.g., some problem perceived by others or some desire by the player for counseling)?

    Or was participation required by all players as a team function?

    Yeah not getting a meeting makes no sense when her job is literally to put management on notice if there are mental health issues.

    Exposed himself to her 9 times? She’s definitely not doing her job if things escalated to that degree. Not trying to victim shame but it doesn’t add up. I could understand like a low level intern allowing for self preservation reasons but this lady is the mental health authority.

    This thing is getting weird.

    B Wright is probably gone. I don’t really put this on pop like some here badly want to do.

    Pop's "uncanny maturity" comment about Primo was first published in a Jan 5th, 2022 article. I imagine that will become part of a timeline. Hard to imagine Pop being aware of the situation at that point and still making that comment, but I wonder if later comments on record about "character" and such will be brought up. It would be weird if B Wright knew-- for any length of time-- and kept it from Pop.

    The part where she kept meeting with him does strike me as strange but I reconcile that easily with this being her dream job. People will put up with a lot of crazy when they really want to keep their job. I do agree its strange, but I don't find it unbelievable.
