I know. I just have seen too much bellyaching about the blown pick thing I couldn't help myself.

Troll my arse I highly doubt this is a one time incident

Just bc you don't like something doesn't mean it's trolling

Good lord

Yes another blown pick


So the Spurs know this is happening and still pick up his option? You're not smart.


Where did I say that? I said the dude has done this before

Nowhere did I say the front office knew about it
You made that up

I said it's another blown pick which is undeniable

Well saying it's a blown pick implies that it was a bad pick. By all accounts it wasn't a bad pick. Primo is going to be a very good player if he works his stuff out. This situation is akin to a guy getting seriously injured and not panning out.

It's only a "blown pick" if they did know about some history.

This is the type of thing he might, I say "might," be able to recover from professionally.

This may be confirmation that the Spurs plan to hire Becky their next coach.

Although not trading him is baffling. Unless there are charges coming.

A team will for sure pick him up after this. A bit of an overreaction from the Spurs.

Relieved it is not worse to be honest. He should be let go, that is unacceptable. My prediction, they won't regret it.

Yeah, this is the unknown right now, I guess. If he's looking at a criminal prosecution, that will scare at least some teams off.

I get the Spurs had to make a decision because of their culture and emphasis on character. But he's a 19 year old kid. I am sure NBA players do much worse behind the scenes. Suspend him for a season with no pay and let him get help. This was a bit much IMO.

A player that was considered a reach at #12 never plays meaningful minutes and is kicked off the team for going Tate Pittman

How is this not a blown pick?

Depends on the circumstances. If he was exposing himself to minors - which is not implied in the article, to be fair - then he's probably done. If it was a handful of incidents (maybe "handful" is a bad word choice) only involving adults where nobody suffered physical harm and maybe alcohol was involved, then he has a path back.

The weird thing is when you are a 19 year old millionaire basketball player, you would think it wouldn't be difficult to find women who would voluntarily and happily look at your junk, but maybe not.

I'm guessing if and when all that facts come out we'll see that it was more than just a couple random drunken mistakes, and it was enough of a problem that the Spurs felt they had to do what they did.

I could also understand the decision if it was a female employee of the Spurs.

Semantics. Obviously as it turned out the Spurs used a good pick on a player that won't help them. But, it wasn't because they poorly evaluated his talent, they just didn't discover that he had this, eh, "mental illness problem." I suppose you could fault them for not asking if he ever exposed himself.

Not a single person on this thread agrees with what you're saying. Maybe let it go / shut up?

Primo has Deshaun Watson to thank for getting waived. Not excusing it and hope it's not worse than it sounds, but two years ago this probably would have been glossed over.

Explains a lot why SSE is being so quiet on it. NDA, lawyers are off and running.

Looking gassed here to start the 4th. The short-handed roster may catch up with us at the end.

Or not.

Long season, but the Spurs are not good at tanking yet.

Ridiculous numbers from Keldon so far this season. Especially his 3 point %, I thought it would take a step back without DJ to set him up.
