Deni would be huge for the Thunder. A very solid role player that plays pretty decent defensively. Can either start or come off the bench for them as well.

Yup. Deni is probably the one. Under contract for 4 years at $11m AAV. Fits both of Presti's requirements of long term deal on a cheap AAV. Not sure that OKC needs to throw a real 1st in there though. Probably a few 2nds.

Giddey needs a new nickname.

P. Giddey?

I know their woman controversies are for different reasons but the name sounds perfect

Giddey has value but it's Giddey + Multiple Picks that should be attractive to any team (including the Wizards).

The slob wizard nickname actually makes sense now

No doubt Deni is the guy that Presti wants. Replicates a lot of the playmaking/passing Giddey brings, a better shooter and an elite defender.

I really hope we don’t do it. Deni’s the one bright spot in DC atm.

Giddey would actually be good for Washington, if they want to continue to tank and hopefully end up with Cooper Flagg. The tape is out on him and will be the way teams play him from now on.

Yeah I would love Deni on my Grizz but OKC can outbid us because we not moving either Vince or GG. But OKC should target Deni as their 6th man/game closer and then go and sign IHart or Claxton to a front loaded deal.

Rumor has it that after hearing about all of the politicians caught up in the Epstein scandal, Giddey is demanding a trade to Washington because "that's where the action is."

I don't get the hype on him at all. I see one thing he does well and excels at on the court.

I like Giggity.

The Jazz wouldn't trade for Giddey unless they thought he was somehow a buy-low opportunity. And even then, it's questionable.

I thought we were done with these immature loser comments?

‘Sweepstakes’? Really? That’s like me saying ‘my friend Who went into a fraternity is likely to win the Herpes sweepstakes’

He was 18/8/7 on 55% shooting his last 11 games of the season where SGA and Jalen missed some games.

He just needs to not be relegated to the corner and he’ll be a great player.

I still believe a Giddey for Kessler deal works for Utah and OKC.

Giddey and a pick bonanza for Lauri

Feels like he goes to Jazz or Spurs

Giddey is a damn good playmaker.

Super young.

Can't believe people are sleeping on this kid.

And when are people going to get punished for derailing every Giddey thread with false allegations?

Are we never going to be allowed to talk strictly basketball with this young man?
