Still don’t know why OKC gave the ok to speak in front of press before investigating. That felt very not thundery.

League has no choice, they have to look into it. Would he have recorded a video to send to her brother if he knew she was underage? Do we even know they did anything?

Whatever happened or didn’t happen, I hope the truth is found fast. I would hate for this to be a drawn out thing.

Feels like him playing tomorrow would just be a distraction. Without JDub we can barely afford not to have him out there, but I think it would be better for the guys to not have that over their heads.

in the event that this all pans out to conclusively be a hoax, are we going to see shams and woj tweeting that he’s been determined innocent?
i don’t even know what the precedent here is, “twitter painting NBA player as a chomo” isn’t a thing that’s happened before has it?

Good, its better to find the truth through an actual investigation than Twitter/internet investigators
Hopefully they solve this soon so he can quickly either get punished (by the team and law) accordingly or clear his name

Now we wait to see what the investigation uncovers

there was a reason giddey was available for media. the thunder org wouldn’t let him go out there wearing a jersey if they felt like it was a bad situation

Everything is going pretty much how I imagined. Giddey and Thunder are not going to say much of anything until the team and NBA has had a chance to look into it and find out the *facts*. That’s how this stuff works.
Nobody should be drawing any conclusions from Giddeys “no comment” media quotes or this announcement that the league is looking into it.

So how long we think the investigation will take?

these allegations need to be taken seriously…. it’d be so f***ed up if the allegations turn out to be fake because people’s reputations/lives get destroyed by false allegations (relations with a minor, SH, SA, r***, etc.) like this.
A minor wasn’t involved in this case but look up what happened to former USC football player [Brian Banks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Banks_(American_football)#False_accusation_of_sexual_assault)… he spent several years in prison after being falsely accused of r*** by a former USC classmate. A film about the Brian Banks case was released at the LA Film Festival a few years ago.

Yall are weird as hell
This was always the direction this was going. They investigate.. if something is found then he’s fucked, if not we keep it moving.
Acting like this is some kind of admission of guilt either way is insane
This is literally how this process works
