No way Spurs sign Giddey. Primo mess was hard enough to clean up. You can’t fix a guy like Giddey if what is alleged is true. Liability alone is a reason not to sign him.
Spurs would take him.
That "not who we are" crap is only for the fans who are there to be lectured
They let Primo repeatedly offend and picked up his option until he was allegedly getting in trouble in Minnesota outside of organizational ability to silence
They tolerated drunk drivers who put lives at risk with no consequence
They signed Gary Neal
They brought back Stephen Jackson who fired a gun in public
They brought back Vernon Maxwell who had serious off court issues from what I remember
If any fans booed Giddey then Pop would just lecture them like he did the other night or admonish them in the media like he did in defense of Kobe when he was on trial

I completely forgot about Neal.
Dunk it? Spurs missing layups. Manu is turning over in retirement. I can’t think of a time that Parker/Manu didn’t score on a fast break.
Wemby has to catch that.
So, what's the problem with Giddey, having consentual sex with a 16 year old? Isn't he barely an adult himself?
Less than 0% chance they'd ever touch Giddey after the Primo incident
Would be illegal in most of the US. Not in Oklahoma though unless she's 15 or younger.
The sex bit is moot. Giddey has too much basketball talent for the Spurs to want him.
It’s funny how you seem so convinced to be aware of a weird truth. Keep being paranoid and seeing evil everywhere. Too bad…
Would be legal in most of the World except in most of the US. When Giddey is 30 the girl would be 25. I really don't know what the huge deal is about.
In the US, age of consent is 18 for most laws except drinking. It’s a general public opinion that most kids under the age of 18 don’t have the maturity to make certain decisions that could impact them down the road. You can’t sign up for war, buy cigarettes, enter into a contract, etc. A minor is seen as more easily manipulated by an adult and so we legally protect minors. Sometimes that leads to absurd results, but the preference is an absurd result in the interest of protecting minors. Some states can change the age of 18, but the concept is the same for any age chosen.
You're a fool if you think black athletes (executives/coaches too) aren't treated differently than their white counterparts.
Keep not listening to people who'd have a better grasp of this than yourself and being close minded though.
Happened in California .... age of consent there is 18.
When something is legal in some parts and ilegal in others, it really shouldn't be some career changing issue, tbh.
Try bringing edibles into TX. It’s a felony, but I’m sure they'll let you go when you explain it to them.
Curious what your preference for legal age of consent should be.
Did something happen? Everyone keeps talking about this like there was an incident. The only reason the NBA is investigating is because of the wild speculation on the internet.
Britney Griner has left the chat.
It's not a matter of what my preference is. When something is legal in a state and ilegal in another, it really isn't a job losing offense. This isn't Primo flashing broads within the organization.

Malone got away with much worse(impregnating a 13 year old when he was 20). Had a long career with no controversy from the media(outside of being rightfully labeled a dirty player), Hall of Fame induction in 2010, statue in Utah, and another statue erected just this year in Louisiana at his college. Billups got away with rape in 1997 when he was a rookie and it never caught up to him. The world has largely forgotten Kobe being a rapist and there are active social media campaigns against writers that bring this fact up. Miles Bridges beat his wife and kids to the point where his wife had bone fractures and a concussion. He's been welcomed back into the NBA this year.
If Giddey gets away with his crimes, it won't be because he's white but because the NBA refuses to ban players that hold value on a basketball court.

It clearly is a job losing offense if it causes him to do time for statuory rape in California if you want to hide behind what's legal and illegal.
Lol bought time we had a pro pedo poster here. I believe the nba may care more about publicity than morality, but bridges got a lengthy 30 game suspension and i assume giddey gets similar
Dont compare men who denied wrongdoing (ronaldo, kobe) with cases of admission and independent proof. Also dont compare pre social media pre me-too cases.
Projecting much? Nothing in my post was defending Giddey while there are actual posters in this thread that are normalizing his behavior and want to sign him. I think he should be banned from the league(along with all the other players I listed in my post).
Kobe is a rapist. He admitted to sexual assault in the police report and later commented that she wasn't consenting during the encounter in an apology letter. Also settled an undisclosed amount of money during the case.
Never thought I would see someone on spurstalk defending rapists and sexual predators but here we are. Then again, you were also a Primo fan so it's not surprising you're a degenerate.
There's no difference. The players were getting away with the crimes pre me-too. They're still getting away with the crimes post me-too. Bridges missed less games than guys that violate drug policy which proves that the NBA doesn't give a what they do off the court as long as it doesn't mess with the product on the court.
Giddey's fate will be determined by the police. If the authorities decide there's not enough there to take action, the NBA will give him a slap on the wrist like they did with Bridges.
Agreed, but I said "reputationally, white NBA media will largely excuse this" . . . which doesn't have anything to do with what you said.
