There’s nothing “official” about this sub. It is neither run by the NBA, nor a journalistic entity. Widespread discussion is going to happen when shit like this gets traction, and there’s zero reason /r/nba has to not allow it in a moderated capacity.

How much of the traction was because of this thread? I didn't know about it until I saw this pinned to the top of /r/NBA and i had to track down what little info I could via a few re-tweeted pics from a deleted Twitter account without any context.

They don't have to not allow it, of course. I still think this megathread was the wrong move and got a lot of people wildly speculating and stirring rumors on this today who otherwise wouldn't have if there wasn't an /r/NBA metathread about it.

I would add: if there wasn't a thread like this, there would be a constant battle of deleting new threads and comments in all of the other threads. This thread at least functions like a "Giddey speculation and rumors quarantine thread" and keeps it from running rampant everywhere else.
