Around the League: Week 5 (11/20 - 11/26)

[Flagrant Fowl]

A lot of you guys are seeming to forget that Giddey himself has been 21 years old for about 6 weeks. So if we're talking about something like a 17 and a 20 year old getting together it should be a non-issue, IMO.

[Split T]

I don’t think we’re forgetting, but reports are she’s 15, not 17

[Flagrant Fowl]

OK, fair. I'm waiting to pass judgement until there's some sort of official report because we all know how the Internet can be.

15 and 20 is should get him into some trouble, but that girl looks older than 15 to me.

[Wally_West]

He’s an NBA player, he shouldn’t be fucking high school kids.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I think that's an oversimplification. If he was a college student would anyone care? (I'm talking about an age gap of a few years, not 5-6)

Or what about an actor, musician, etc.? His profession is irrelevant to me.

[Superbone]

I agree to wait until the facts are out to condemn.

I think that’s fair. No reason to pass judgement at the moment

I think that was based on the thing someone found that said she was a sophomore but that was from 2022 and didn't even look like the same girl. So we really don't know.

But there's also this from over a week ago that's going viral now:





He said in the replies that it's a different girl (his friend's sister).

NBA has begun an official investigation into the Giddey allegations.

Really unfortunate for the Thunder.

Tanking ass franchise. They don't deserve anything nice.

OKC stole my hometown Sonics; I will never not root against them.

My favorite dunk of the year so far.

Monty will ruin him…. That’s just too much contact.

Warren was fine for us last year, but I wouldn't want him on our roster over any of the guys we currently have. He should definitely be on some NBA roster, though. If you look at that duct-taped-together Grizz team we just beat, you're telling me they couldn't find any minutes for TJ Warren?

[Mori Chu]

Wow, the Magic are 11-5? And the Thunder are the 2 seed in the West?

I think OKC is legit, but we’ll see if Orlando can hang on. I think Orlando is a playoff team, but probably more like 6-8 and not 2.

But it’s another cool thing about the in-season tournament…you get some up and coming teams that make it and it can jump start their season by giving a confidence boost. Indiana is in, Orlando is in at the moment. Houston is in if they win. Those teams want to prove themselves and will make the tournament fun.

[Superbone]

And the Mavs had a great start to the season while we had a poor one and yet we're almost even with them.
