Throw the book at giddy, but there was a lot more the to Ja story than just the guns on IG live. Wasn't he flashing the guns to intimidate the teenager he beat up during a pickup game?

The NBA and the Thunder need to rethink just giving Giddey a pass until investigations are done considering his team is fighting this through the media as evidenced by the CODE Sports story out of Australia that was then rehashed in the NY Post. It already looked bad before this but it's getting ridiculous.

One of their big arguments against Ja was how bad it looks for the NBA, but Giddey will probably continue to get loud boos at every away game. Ja didn't never got that level of hate and probably won't when he returns.

This is just rampant speculation.

The players union would appeal anything until the investigation is over anyways.

Ja got suspended with no criminal charges. Kevin Porter Jr was sent away from the team before charges were filed.

It would certainly make whatever investigation the league is currently doing easier that’s for sure. As it stands though Giddey shouldn’t be playing until the issue is resolved one way or the other. I agree with that. Especially because Giddey has been accused of an actual crime and I don’t think Ja was (could be wrong)

And that's what I am saying. The NBA is allowed to put him on Administrative Leave in the CBA for situations exactly like this.

I don't think it does. It specifically says that you can be subject to league discipline even if you don't break a law with firearms.

The incident was investigated and "not corroborate that any individual threatened others with a weapon" though the laser on Pacers travelling party staff was corroborated by witnesses.

Even if Giddey didn't know she was underaged, he still saw an underaged girl and was attracted to her.

As a Thunder fan I don’t actually care much what happens to Giddey one way or another. Based on what’s happening on the court his future is likely “attractive trade piece”. That said to my knowledge there isn’t any first person evidence, complaint by a victim, or substantiated finding by the league so it’s going to be difficult to bench him for the duration of the season while the leagues investigation is ongoing.

In the day of AI deepfakes, it would be incredibly stupid for the players union to accept a major penalty for unconfirmed claims.

And no, I am not insinuating that this specific case is in any way faked by AI...but opening up the precedence would be a huge mistake. I realize I probably sound like a tin foil hat nutcase, but thats the reality we live in.

I think that's why the league is kinda tip toeing around it, cos it's sordid and nobody really wants to debate the specifics of it in public.

Also in general sex crimes are hard to prosecute for various reasons

You know how big gyms have crisscrossing courts with the swing down baskets? They should play 2 simultaneous nba games on that setup.
