Leaving to deal with his mental health. Sounds like he has the support of the Spurs

I was there too. I gave my bobblehead away. No teal for me.

Why would they waive him if he has their full support?

Yeah, something doesnā€™t smell right with this situation. Either the Spurs are a shitty organization by cutting him because he needs mental health help or thereā€™s more to the story than meets the eye.

Complete speculation at this point but if he is going to be out for an indefinite/long time he would be taking up roster and salary

Edit: it is entirely possible there is something going on with Primo too

Aw man, we got there a little too late to get one.

Lol Iā€™m not sure ā€œterminating his employmentā€ is ā€œfull supportā€

Yeah, as more details have started coming out it is looking worse and worse. At first it sounded like he was stepping away for mental health reasons and I wanted to give benefit of the doubt but, you are right, things arenā€™t adding up

I have no idea and wonā€™t speculate but 19 year old lottery picks in their 2nd year generally donā€™t get flat released. There is something here.

I think itā€™s probably tough for Primo being 18 years old rookie year. The Spurs donā€™t exactly have the same culture as they once did. Rick Pitino would probably say Tim, Manu, Tony and David arenā€™t walking through that door. They traded Derrick White last year and this offseason shipped out Murray. You truly do need a program to see what players are on this roster.

Iā€™m not a bobblehead connoisseur (I have a Rip Hamilton one somewhere and thatā€™s it) but this one seemed pretty nice. It had a sturdy base, and the face looked enough like Grant. One of the guys I was with collects them so I figured heā€™d enjoy it more than I would. Plusā€¦the teal.

And somehow theyā€™re 4-2 after knocking off the Bulls last night. Props to Pop. I thought he benefited a lot over the years from the talent he had but itā€™s clear he also knows what heā€™s doing.

Supposedly the stuff regarding Primo is bad. Andrew Slater hinted that he had a pretty shaky past as well in a tweet posted yesterday.

I knew there was more to the story than meets the eye. Primo threw away millions and his future over exposing himself to women. I feel bad for the victim from Primoā€™s action.

Iā€™m on a ā€œwait and seeā€ on this. Bojan is good. But he should be somewhere else I think. He may be - but canā€™t be until the off-season now I think.

Guessing heā€™ll eventually transition into veteran shooter off the bench.

They wonā€™t be able to trade him until the off-season now?

Not surprising good move

I think the extension kicks the can, yeah

Just looked it up - he is not tradeable until late April (six months after an extension), so heā€™s in for the rest of the year, at least.
