It still hurts
A terrible and a completely wasted draft pick that will always remain a blot on Brian Wright's resume.
It still hurts
He was signed to a 2way contract, not a 15 man roster deal. He hasn’t played much more for their gleague affiliate, only 5 games. Maybe his Johnson ‘slipped out of his shorts’ again.
Only player that fakes himself out of his jock...
According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, the Los Angeles Clippers are signing Primo to a standard deal after he was on a two-way deal.
That what bbref now says,too. Don’t really care, but it’s good for the Spurs, as his $1.7M for this year is relief from the $4.3M option for this year that they picked up early, and just days before they waived him.
I’m sure Primo would be helping some right now if things didn’t happen. He’s a more natural PG than what Pop is sending out there, and his defense would be much needed. Still he hasn’t proved worthy of the 12th pick, specially with Sengun, Jalen Johnson, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones and Austin Reaves still available. I think Jalen could do a lot of what Sochan is trying to do now, a Point-Forward, and allowed the Spurs to pick Jalen Williams the following year instead of Sochan.
That is good news for the Spurs.
Has Primo played a minute of basketball anywhere since the Spurs cut him?
He played in 1 clippers game and 5 gleague games this year,but had some unspecified injury now.
Are you sure this is true? Typically that is what happens when they reach a buyout but when they just waive someone I thought they still got their salary plus any new signings.
No. When he signed another deal, Spurs owe him what his salary was, minus his new salary. No double dipping, which is fair to the team that eats a salary.
no use in bumping this thread.
if the spurs drafted sengun instead them they don't get wemby so ...
Because Houston made the playoffs last year…oh, wait didn’t we lose a coin flip to them?
good point. you never know though, how different things could've turned out.
if the spurs won a coin flip and the draft happened again, odds say the rockets win the coin flip in a universe where the spurs drafted sengun and ended up with the same-ish record.
Yeah,but we would have had Halliburton if we passed on Vassell, so which of those would you rather we passed on, since both together would have put us out of the running for Wemby?
Every time we’ve played the Rockets, Wemby zips up Sengün into a body bag, but people here are still crying over missing him. WTF?
I think the comparison is to drafting Primo who proved to be an embarrassment, not comparing Sengun to VW. I'd much rather have Sengun than Primo's wasted pick.
Of course, Haliburton was hurt a bunch of the year. Plus you have the Pop factor. There is definitely a path that the Spurs have Wemby, Haliburton and Sengun. At this point I believe Pop can lose with Duncan, Parker and Manu.
This is dumb. You can't claim there is a path unless you are Doctor Strange tbh. If we picked HALI who does SAC pick next, PEL, BOS etc. Does IND and SAC join the tank withouth that Hali trade etc.

Just because we got lucky in the lottery and got Wemby doesn’t excuse ty draft choices of the past.
No one knew at the time that we’d get Wemby. They we're trying to draft the best players and did poorly.
Primo over almost anyone else was a mistake.
Vassell over Halliburton was a mistake, even though Vassell is pretty good.
This isn’t perfect hindsight or anything either.
A lot of people wanted Sengun. A lot of people wanted Halliburton.
Our FO screwed those up.
I’m not convinced Sochan was a mistake but he was drafted because we had no PF.
He’s being ruined at PG so that’s on the coaching staff, not the FO.
Vassell over Haliburton wasn't a mistake because we already had both White and Murray.
Should've drafted Jalen Williams or Duren instead of Sochan, but if we already didn't get Duren, not getting Kessler with Branham pick was the biggest mistake of that draft.
I would rather have a productive player than someone we cut.
And that right there scares me the off of guys like Holland and Buzelis when you see how crap that league is that Primo can look like Prime Jordan.
the G-League franchise player. Brian is getting it right
