Employers don’t bring back former employees fired for sexual harassment. It would be shocking if the Spurs bring Primo back.
This time last year Primo was our "face of the franchise"How things change (in this case, thank God).

This. If they took him back and he repeated the behavior or had any kind of related behavior, they would be on the hook for more in a lawsuit and the media would kill them.
I have nothing against bringing Primo back. IF ever, he could be the answer to the long starting PG. But as many have pointed, it’s a huge risk to bring a sexual predator back in the office.
The spurs are too conservative of a franchise, and honestly have nothing to gain from bringing primo back.
The Spurs acted quickly because they have some liability from this. Someone else might pick Primo up, but no lawyer representing the team would allow the Spurs to even talk to Primo.
Not to mention the supposed distaste many of his former players hold for him.
Also, to me, his tape doesn't show anything in the way of improvement. His problem (other court) was that he lacked the ability or desire to attack the rim and when he did he often turned it over or got stuffed. He rarely showed his athleticism and again in those videos, even after spinning away from his defender he's throwing up unnecessary fade away jumpers rather than making a more decisive move to the basket or at minimum a more aggressive jumper. He could learn a lot from a player like SGA if infact he's gonna marker himself as a PG or SG.
Or just show you're a SF and go sit out on the 3pt line.
oh which spurs player had distaste with primo? curious...
Going off a tweet I saw from Ty Jager where he said "players" would have an issue bringing Primo back. I know Vassell unpolluted him on IG shortly after all that went down supposedly.
You guys gossip more than chicks.
^assuming gender
Ty is pretty tuned into the team. Not gossip. Primo would be persona non grata not only amongst the team, but I gather amongst some in the organization. Not happening.
just ask ducks, that's Ty Jager's spurstalk account tbh
Primo is pretty much done as an nba player. He just isn't good enough to deal with the PR hit. He has been away from a team to keep up his training. I can't imagine he has been able to develop his game while unemployed, whilst dealing with legal issues.
There is a 0% chance the Spurs would bring him back, at best.
Europe would be an option. Not sure if there any visa issues- he wasn't charged or convicted so maybe not.
He was even worst in his no short time here.
Ha. Not unless Ty created an account here completely opposite his real life one as a gay lefty. Would be slightly brilliant to hide his iden y here.
What is tuned in? He seems like he follows the team very closely but as a fan. Don't mean it in a bad way I just don't think he has any insider sources or anything like that. He's no timvpimp, imo.
Bit more connected than a fan...He's been a staffer/journalist over at Air Alamo for years.
I figure he may not be privvy to the most top secret stuff (as it seems LJ is at times) but I'm fairly certain he hears rumblings about more mundane stuff (like player issues and the like) that are normally more known than actually reported in local NBA circles.
Someone let Josh Primo know that at least this message board still cares about him
or china, which would care less about any of his infractions. the flash is going to have to 1) light it up overseas and 2) let a lot of time pass without any other issues of any kind before he gets another shot at the NBA. it'd be different if he was a solid NBA player but when we last saw him there was no way of knowing that he was going to even be as good as Lonnie ever was for the spurs.
It’s uncanny quiet though with Primo. I mean no basketball in Asia or smaller league? The guy is not charged. It makes one think PATFO directed him to stay off, fix himself and redeem himself when the time has come. It’s my wishful thinking. I mean PATFO took a big risk on this kid.
Josh Primo was such a good lesson in realizing that second hand reports and opinions are often nothing more than wild hopes and guesses, & pretty close to worthless. There were literally 100s of twitter, instagram, and youtube posts shared here on spurstalk lauding his uncanny maturity, his unbelievably high character, his stellar position as a quiet leader... and it all meant nothing. Oh, his impact stats in the G League were really bad?? It doesn't matter, because his incredible work ethic and presidential demeanor will make him a star!
Bridges got a qualifying offer tho
