Shams: Spurs Waive Josh Primo

He so ing did it. Lawyer basically confirms by throwing accusations

Indeed. Maybe Wright tried to keep it quiet hoping it would go away.

As for whether Pop knew or not, you could easily see Brian Wright trying to keep Pop out of it.

Yeah, I really don't think Pop knew. Pop has nothing to do with summer league these days. He's traveling all summer and rarely takes Spurs related calls.

And if you're Wright, no way in do you tell Pop that the player you reached for is a degenerate who might need to be released. Pop might have fired Wright on the spot for such an admission.

9 times? After the first couple times, you'd think she would have stopped treating him. I am not victim-blaming. I just think it would be unusual to keep seeing him.

His attorney's statement that Josh didn't realize he was flashing her is pretty unbelievable. Even if she didn't mention it at the time it happened, after she reported it to the organization, the Spurs would have talked to him about it.

As for whether Pop knew or not, you could easily see Brian Wright trying to keep Pop out of it. Maybe Primo was released as soon as Pop found out about it. We don't know because there's no real timeline. At this point, the Vegas and Minny rumors are just rumors, right? No accusers?

I'm very surprised the Spurs didn't settle this months ago. Primo isn't worth the reputation-hit of it going public.

It is absurd to think Pop wasn't involved in the re-upping of Primo for his 3rd year and that pop wouldn't have been told that before they did, there were potentially multiple allegations of him pulling out his junk.

Biggest loser in this besides Primo is the people who knew about these accusation in Spurs HR department. Victim mentioned talking to them about it. That is instant cause to fire them if they did nothing with the info.

[manufan10]

Is this true?

Reporter - "Did that Four Seasons incident really take place in Minnesota?"

Buzbee - "That's what we're told. But we're getting the information from you. So..."


What a hack

[offset formation]

I mean, I feel sorry for her and it sounds like she was likely victimized, but Buzbee's press conference was a failure since he had no details of anything else happening regarding Primo and even seemed to reference the Reddit Four Season rumor while trying to make it sound legit until he was pressed on it.

Brian Wright should have known better (the guy is specifically educated in this area). He might lose his job because of this (I haven't heard enough yet to say he should lose his job, though). Obviously, he couldn't waive Primo back in December. After reaching for Primo at 12, imagine if he would have waived him a few months later. That would have been the end of Wright's basketball front office career.

Internally, Wright's probably saying that he kept sending Primo to the mental health expert since Primo was having mental health issues. That's ........ going to be difficult logic to crack and say he should be fired.

Too ing bad. Cover up drafting incompetence, which Pop almost assuredly recommendedor at least approved, or cover up potentially multiple allegations of sexual impropriety.

This isn't hard. One is Wright. One is wrong

[Ice009]

To me it sounds like Brian Wright probably wouldn't want to tell Pop as Primo was his pick. I doubt he wanted to say to Pop, "ahh look, I ed up, the kids a flasher, don't resign him." How well do you think that would have went over? He was probably embarrassed and didn't want to get fired. Really tough spot to be in.

So thrilled I have to hear this ing hack's name in the news a little longer now.

I can't see Wright trying to hide this from Popped.
Nor believe Popped would be uninterested in such a bombs .

Sure as an NBA coach he's had all kinds of shenanigans brought to his attention over the years.

[gospursgojas]

Is this true?

Idk where Don is getting that from. If it’s from the presser. No money was discussed. But Buzbee did word it as “we want protocol changes with the spurs for these situations”. Like he’d really take a case with the sole reward being some company policy changes.

So not sure if Don is thinking that’s all that they want out of this.

huh? Abbott fan?

[JeffDuncan]

Yeah, when he started off in the first paragraph with the “race” bit it was an admission that he’s got nothing. Primo is guilty.

And then mentioning her age, what’s that about? His client has assured him that he only exposes himself to women under 25?

[get_mills_out]

Is it even in Wrights remit to handle things like this? Wouldn’t this be an HR/admin thing? Not saying he’s off the hook but the lawyer made a big deal about how hard it was to get a meeting with Wright; I mean yeah…he’s the GM of a basketball team, not HR.

[CGD]

Is this true?

Unlikely -- for there to be a civil claim there has to be an articulation of the relief sought/damages. I think its highly unlikely that the plaintiff would ONLY seek to compel the Spurs/Primo to do something like restore her job, change their HR policies, etc.

Do you know what presumption of innocence is?

[LkrFan]

Sir, I will have you know that cruel and unusual punishment is forbidden under the U.S. Cons ution.

[djohn2oo8]

Is this true?

It’s probably worded as “minimal monetary damages” like it was in the Watson lawsuits.

Buzbee may be a hack, but he doesn’t take cases that he can’t win.

And even IF Don has a rare accurate report, I would not rule out SleazeBee giving Hillary a cut of the proceeds under the table.

Where’d he get that from? Haven’t seen that at all. There’s no way imo. She’s going to get a fat settlement check and she’ll happily cash it when all is said and done.
