Just watched OKC win against the Timberwolves. Where to for Giddey? Looks lost in that team. Where do they trade him ? He can't shoot. The team know it and you can see it as his teammates don't use him. Will just his passing ability keep him in the NBA?
They're the scariest team in the league whether they keep him or trade him.
He's waking up so it'd be a bad move moving him on in my opinion.

They own three 1st round kicks in the 2024 draft, four 1st rounders in '25, 1 in '26, 3 in '27, then add their second round picks as well. They do it right, this could be a dynastic team :oops:

They're already taking the P with the current team, this year might be the start of it.

The angry Euro is right about somethings but saying Scottie Barnes will be the face of the league is nonsense.

Loses all credibility from that point on.
 
Everyone wanting to put an unsavoury incident behind them. Probably best outcome. Bad enough for Giddey moving forward - would have been worse for the young woman if this had dragged on. Lessons learned.

Siakam to Pacers is a great move by the organisation. Will be a tougher team to meet in the playoffs. Might even get past the first round. Although this wasn’t one, I have a feeling this trade season has a few more surprises to spring on us.

He'll definitely help there defence. 29th worst out of 30 teams at 123.5 against.

Not really a fan of Giddey. Saw an interview with him a while back and he came off as disinterested, smug and a smart arse.

Scottie Barnes is an absolute stud!

Probably not 'face of the league' but future superstar.

Met him in person a few times and he is a really down-to-earth guy. Dad is a crack up too.

The money may change him, but last year he was still all good.

The NBA has now announced their own investigation into the Giddey situation so watch this space I guess.
Makes you wonder... The CA police department find there was nothing to answer for but the NBA has different ideas???

What a bloody joke!

The NBA should put the same effort into training their refs to not be bloody atrocious!

It's all optics. The League clearly want to make sure their nest is clean from any connotations.
Probably a little concerned at the comparisons with recent large suspensions to Miles Bridges & Ja Morant.
Just hope they don't hang him out to dry..

Meanwhile Duop Reath is putting together a really good block of games for Portland. Good to see.
