No self awareness. 5 game suspension was worth it?
So give him 15 more. Ask him again if it was worth it. If he says "yes", give him 50 more on top.
I wish Stern would be back from the dead just to show Silver how to deal with Draymond.
You know hstern was in charge when the league had fights most nights, right? That action in the 90s gets you 1 game tops
Guess you weren't around for this:

Melo's "punch" was far less dangerous than Draymond's chokehold.
Silver loves players to a fault and knows players playing means more business and more eyes on the games. Stern would have none of this. He'd be suspended for the remiander of the Playoffs after the Sabonis incident.
How long was Kobe suspended for raping a girl?
Which is what he deserved. He clearly stomped on Sabonis' chest, and I wish he did the same to the idiots carrying water for him, like supposedly HOF journalist Marc Spears, who basically blamed Sabonis for the entire thing, claimed Sabonis tried to injure Draymond etc.
As for players playing meaning more business, don't tell me there would be more than a handful of people who'd stop watching the game if Draymond was suspended. Not like Warriors fans would suddenly stop watching the playoffs, and nobody is paying tickets in SF to watch him from courtside. They pay to be seen there and/or to see Steph.
Yeah, but the problem is, Draymond is a vital piece of the Warriors team and he was an integral part of each title. He's the one that does the dirty work for them. And the NBA doesn't want to jeopardise Steph's potential success. They go hand in hand. Draymond plays, Steph has a shot to win more games. it's that simple for them.
