It’s been a slow start for Giddey, when a lot of us thought he was about to make a leap. I wasn’t too worried about it. Being a 4th option was gonna be an issue, but if he couldn’t make it work, I thought some other team will be willing to give up a lot of value to let him be the point guard.

And that’s not hate on his game, but cmon at this point he’s not in the top four of who I’d like to have with the ball in crunch time.

Now for the conspiracy. Nope it’s not about the league conspiring against the Thunder to slow down their inevitable domination of the league.

It’s this: is it possible that Giddey knew that some embarrassing (at best) shit was about to drop over the last month?

So many of these things start with the person saying pay me x$million and this story will never come out. Giddey might have consulted with his people and they said call the bluff. In fairness, an extortion attempt doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, but he might have said bring it because nothing actually happened.

I’m not here to speculate on this crazy situation, but to speculate on whether this might be the reason giddey’s start has been so lackluster. Guilty or innocent, it would be hard to focus at work if you thought some life changing accusations might be coming your way.

    Nah man, he was being blackmailed to keep the beast locked up and it was by nobody except the man himself… Scott Foster

    That’s right, he runs the whole NBA mafia of gambling. He had this dirt on Giddey to make sure he shaved off points.

    All was going fine until CP3 comes out and gets all the attention on Scott. So now Scott thinks if he’s going down, he’s taking Giddey with him. Pop go the videos and the attention is off of Scott. He’s a mastermind at strategy, never underestimate this man again.

      Funny, but not really relevant. The “conspiracy” here is that Giddey knew this was coming and it’s thrown off his game for weeks.

      There’s a chance he had no clue and just had a rough stretch for the first month.

      But it now seems possible that this distraction was there the whole time. And that doesn’t mean it’s all made up. If it’s a kid who has dirt on a multimillionaire, it’s not wild to think he first asked for cash to stay quiet, and that Giddey has been in a bad mental space ever since.
