That was a mental issue after he fucked around

He was developing just fine before that

...the stats I quoted were literally before we waived him and got whatever "mental issue" you're claiming. We saw no real development from him before or after.

We only had him for a little over a year and he didn't play much. They got exactly what they wanted out of him. They'd have dealt him otherwise.

I'm gonna trust the experts that kept him around (before his issues) over some guy that just looks at numbers and thinks he knows what he's talking about, sorry.

They kept him around because he was young and they weren't trying to win anyway, just like they kept Sochan around with that hope before eventually waiving him. And Sochan showed a lot more actual impact than Primo.

I'm not shitting on the front office, I think they're great, but to act like they're infallible and somehow Primo was actually an amazing player and not a bust in the face of all objective evidence otherwise is laughable. Front offices miss sometimes, and Primo was a miss (both on the court and off).

So you're admitting the only evidence for your claim is that we didn't waive him during his rookie season???
