Who among us hasn’t walked around naked at our first job? Are there any of you who haven’t waved your johnson at a coworker or supervisor? I thought not. Maybe he’s a religious nudist and last I checked, we still have the 1st Amendment. Let’s be careful before we start tearing down America. At worst, this is mere locker room shenanigans. I say we take a chance—and maybe we can make up some of the salary by hiring him out to model for art classes.
Yeah he's a dumbass. It was probably a panic move by him. Probably thought he was going to get away with it. Some team will take a flyer on him though with a 2-way contract eventually but he's rich too now so he may just dissappear. If he was smart (which clearly he isn't), and wants to continue to play basketball, he'd come out with a statement apologizing with no excuses. That would be refreshing
Well his NBA career is not over. A chance to add talent that fits the timeline should be taken. Does he keep his Bird rights if he keeps his contact? The Rockets can then support him with the counseling he needs. Has he been placed on wavers wire yet. 6’6” guard with a highest of ceilings. Maybe we can help him as he helps us.
Multiple victims have come forward, he is still under investigation. The Spurs employee was the one that counted the most. He flashed to hotel staff as well.
I am not condoning his actions, but his career is not over. He is lottery talent that can be rehabilitated. Concerned yes; worth the time to invest absolutely. What do we lose by taking a flyer on him. It’s not like other players will start exposing themselves because he is on the team. I truly believe he will never do it again, because of the embarrassment & legal trouble that it’s causing him. In two years time one of two things will have happened, he will be out of the league or in our starting line up.
(Assuming it's flashing and not something even more serious) Single or multiple incidents? The Spurs have to act this quickly if it's not the first or they ignored signs or complaints from employees. If there wasn't a real serious threat of lawsuits, they probably, I think, keep it hush and work with him and get him professional help. Claim him, get him help and .... go from there.
I'm moderately surprised the Spurs dumped him entirely for this. Not that I like it, but players usually get longer leashes. They could have suspended him for the rest of the season until the heat died down then spam the PR BS about him having learned his lesson and matured. He will be back in the league, not this season, but he will absolutely get another chance unless there's far worse details that haven't been released.
The Me2 movement will try to bury him. Many have witnessed cases even with zero truths in it. But yes athletes are not as dependent on their reputation as actors and directors. I do think teams would want to sign him so I guess he'd still have more options than getting booted from the league. You have good intentions but it's pretty cruel out there. Legal battles could get pretty intense. The Spurs had Becky Hammon the first great female assistant, no way they were letting him off the hook easily.
I see & understand that his reputation is forever tarnished much like Calvin Murphy’s. The Rocket organization can spin it and turn into a hero => look at Porter & now Primo. It will take a lot of personal work & change from Primo. If he is willing to do the PR; what is not to like about him bing a Rocket?
He is only 19. Kobe was 24-25 when his trial started. It is concerning for sure. As for the Rockets, he is not our problem yet but you could add more problems, legal problems to a team trying to find itself. The smart thing is to wait it all out instead of trying to be the thirsty virgin teenager.
Primo is radioactive with this information. He's just a pervert who got caught, now he plays the 'mental illness' card. Maybe in a year or two if he takes full accountability and is under the care of therapists he might still have a place in the league. But right now, no way.
I'll give your brain a little help. When Primo sexually exposed himself to a Spurs employee, this became a legal/HR issue. Spurs had an obligation to protect their employees and ensure an sexual assault free environment. The alternative is being sued into oblivion. The same employee who was sexually assaulted (sexual exposure is sexual assault) has retained the lawyer suing DeShawn Watson,
