What should the NBA do with Draymond Green?

But if I had to guess what will happen in reality is 0 games. Player punishment in the league lately is wildly inconsistent and seems to be based more off of Adam Silver reading twitter discourse than off of any kind of principled approach.

This.

And they have a bad history of manipulating suspensions in the way that just coincidentally favors the odds of getting the results they want.

Yeah I'm cynical here.

My favorite nba conspiracy theory ever is still the 2016 Draymond green finals suspension. Which I don’t think was a manipulation, Draymond got an automatic suspension for receiving his 4th flagrant foul of the postseason, but the crazy thing is he got off scot free on a play in the first round against the Rockets where Draymond grabbed Michael Beasley and threw him to the ground. Refs were blind to it and no flagrant foul was awarded, but he should have picked up his first flagrant at that point and then served his suspension in the western conference finals, and wouldn’t have been suspended in the finals.

I think that’s one of the rare instances where a single missed call directly altered the course of who won the title that year.

Artest got 7 games for the elbow.
Bynum got 5 games for the shoving JJ Barea.

But Silver is a completely different kind of commissioner.

Multi game. He’s a multiple time offender with trashy behavior on and off the court. He could’ve cause a sternal fracture and/or rib fracture +/- a pneumothorax.

Should be multi-game especially with his history.

But who knows what Adam Silver decides with Warriors down 0-2. Could be just 1. At the very least should be one.

Suspend 1 game. THEN call him like you do all the other players forever.

Stern would've suspended sabonis to ensure warriors make it to at least 7 games. It's by far the best series to watch and may end up 4-0 if DG is suspended 2 games

People here defending Green lol What a joke.

This idiot deserves multiple games since he has a history. Hes a clown who has a history. Plus going up to the fans could have caused an incident. That will hurt him.

Draymond definitely out of line and should get suspended, but Sabonis messed around and found out.

Yeah, if someone dents your car, you should pull out your gun and shoot them twice, perfectly reasonable.

If it's a sports car, that seems perfectly reasonable. An SUV, you might have to pay for them for giving your car some character.

Stern suspended Amare and Diaw and ruined one of the best PO series because of it, he's stern when it comes to hard rules, especially when Dray started agitating the fans like he's some WWE buffoon.

Given the strict restrictions Draymond received for kicking Adams in the balls repeatedly, screaming at refs constantly, punching his teammate, his "windmill technique" fighting for rebounds... I think NBA will be very harsh and... apologize to Draymond for ejection.

Love just straight up stomped on him with no contact from scola. That seems way worse to me.

The Warriors season should end how it started, with Draymond getting to choose his own punishment.

What's with your Draymond love-affair?

Draymond is a THUG with anger management and emotional control issues- who is being enabled by the GSW, the NBA, the refs, and Steve Kerr.

The New Medias thug ambassador assaulted Jordan Poole -

they have it on film and he wasn’t disciplined and was in fact rewarded by being allowed to go to the ring ceremony with none other than Poole and his parents. Now Jordan has to sit there and take this work place violence and play team first ball when the team let him get attacked and they know who did it and did nothing -
So now Draymond yells at anyone on the warriors - players- staff - coaches - they STFU cause they know

Opponents in the NBA - who by definition are Draymond “the thug life new media” Greens other co-workers are not surprised by this- Steven Adam’s newsack- knows this isn’t a surprising turn of events -

Looks a lot like what you do to someone who is bigger and stronger and you don’t want to fight them directly… you kick them in the…. But again Draymond being Draymond

Now draymond out here stomping dudes - again…

And I am over reacting to a guy that ran KD out cause he knew the GSW management wasn’t holding that thug accountable and if they were not, he wasn’t going to be able to simply hoop there in safety.

But we all watching this grown man melt down and attack people verbally and physically on tv while the NBA virtue signals about bullying, guns and rights all while draymond is being a THUG and proving the nba and the GSW dont care about anything but ratings and rings - - the nba concerned about all these Social Causes (as they should be) while Draymond here attacking his co-workers and they soft on him…

ok I see your hypocrisy - enabling-

It’s all cool till draymond does something heinous and then Kerr gonna come out and say “I didn’t see this coming, draymond was such a good man… I’m shocked”. Pearl clutching -

But it’s obvious- draymond is a thug with a mental health and violent self control issues.

If the NBA cares they will address this aggressively because he has a HUgE track record…

One was provoked and the other wasn't. Love and Scola were going at it, but Love just straight up turns and stomps on. Dray was grabbed and pulled down. It's a night and day difference.

That shouldnt matter, Sabonis was called for grabbing the leg. Infractions shouldnt be based on retaliation…. The act is separate in oneself, especially with his history.

Disagree. Dray's was clearly an intentional stomp and then jumping off his chest. That combined with the taunting of fans makes it worthy of a multigame suspension for me.

76Shots wrote:No suspension. Sabonis initiated the entire situation with a blatant non basketball play by double arm locking Greens ankle while in transition. A move that is absolutely dangerous and uncalled for. Green responded with a non basketball play to free himself, as is his right.

I'm the last thing from a Warriors fan, but Sabonis does grab him. Have to wonder if he was hamming it up with the big reaction as well. If so, subtle and well-played.

Should the NBA take action on Green's stomp?
