Maybe the next pick they can trade is in 27. That is why I am not real interested in the Pacers trade with the Lakers if picks in 27 and 29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Kind of surprised the Spurs cut Josh Primo, the 12th pick in 2021 draft. Maybe a little more opportunity for pt for Romeo, although he has yet to enter tonights game. (in 3rd qtr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the mutual thing, why would the Spurs move on if there wasn't a good reason to? He was a lottery pick a year ago and looked like a part of their future. Even if it was just a mutual decision that he needs a fresh start for his mental health, you'd trade him. He had value. Something just seems fishy with this whole thing.

KoB2011 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Some more facts on the Primo situation: Spurs just had exercised his option, and by all accounts were excited about a future that included him. This is very abrupt, he played in their first four games and was averaging over 20 minutes per game. They pulled all Primo merchandise from their team stores, that's not normal at all. The Spurs to my knowledge haven't said anything about it, the trauma information is coming from Primo. Not saying he isn't dealing with trauma or downplaying that, but that's not a reason to cut someone. The Spurs historically have supported players dealing with mental health issues - notably Demar Derozan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny and Hali have the looks of one of the best young 1-2 combos in the league. Add in a lot of other intriguing young role players like Smith, IJax, Duarte, Nesmith, and Nembhard and the Pacers may have something sooner than later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t tank even when we should. Then you have teams like OKC and others with a whole squad of top 10 picks and they will easily end up in the top 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard rumblings of mental health issues a few days ago but flashing women is well beyond the normal scopes of mental health..that’s sexual harassment bordering on assault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah his team definitely was doing PR before the real reason dropped. Props to the Spurs for acting quickly. I know they did the right and obvious thing to do, but we’ve unfortunately seen a lot of examples of teams not doing that, especially this quickly. Good for the Spurs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
