First time I can recall Draymond showed a bit of remorse after one of these incidents and the nba was still "we are tired of your ****, Draymond". Don't blame them either. He's not going to change from this either but not sure what else they can do.

Wonder if he feels sorry for Nurkic's parents having to watch that.

So is Draymond going to go to "Anger Management" just like Ja initially went to "rehab" for a long weekend and be back?

Think Draymond gets 25 games. Don’t think he can sweet talk his way out of this one. The guy is a ticking time bomb.

Yeah. He just isn’t some compelling figure or transcend talent that the league can’t do without. He’s a loudmouth a hole bully.

Gotta be zero tolerance moving forward.

Id put over under at 12 games. 15 would be my guess as 25 feels steep for the actual act, they will say hes getting the "help" he needs. Dudes been a dbag his entire career back to college. Dudes easily the most overrated player ive seen in my lifetime yet somehow got a stupid long leash to whine and play dirty his entire career.

Is 25 games even enough? Feel like a rest of season suspension might be the only punishment that might get him to change.

He's not going to change. Just give the rest of the league a break from the workplace hazard. Suspending Draymond is primarily a courtesy to all the people in the league who prefer not being assaulted.

Yep. That’s the problem. He’s had like 4-5 serious incidents in the last 18-months, and keeps at it.

He only maybe learns from a massive suspension. And even that might not do it.

He honestly has no reason to learn, does he? He's going on 34, he's cooked, and the Warriors are pretty clearly done. This isn't like 'haha Steph just needs to go nuclear and everything will be ok.' They're a mess - Klay sucks, Wiggins sucks again, Dray sucks. Steph's hard carrying them all and can only do so much. Dray doesn't have anything to fell anxious to come back for.

Suns finally have their big 3 in the lineup, they all play heavy minutes, and they lose at home to the Nets. Hate to see it.

Draymond was a really good player, but also overrated and got away with it because he was an all time “perfect fit” guy. Being surrounded by two guys that could always get a shot hid his offensive limitations. But also accentuated his ok passing skills. He was a good, physical, on ball defender. But also in an era when no one was foolish enough to try to beat the Warriors from the post. I guess I hate him, but acknowledge what a great fit he was for the Warriors, but also lucky as hell.

It's about time. Talk about a guy that not just pushes the envelope, but lights it on fire then pisses on it.

20 - 25 games at least.

They're the team everyone thinks we are.

I'm not gonna bury the Suns yet. Vogel is a good coach and Booker/Beal have missed a ton of games. Also think they're primed to make a move at the deadline for a better 3&D guy.

I think all of Suns/Clippers/Lakers have a punchers chance in the playoffs. Maybe they won't have the health to make it all the way but right now they are 5, 8 and 10 seeds. If the playoffs started today (and assuming both get in as part of the play-in), I would bet on 2/3 being first round upsets over their HCA counterpart (only Nuggets beating the Lakers).

Am I the only one who was never swayed by Wiggins one "good" year? It feels like the league/NBA zeitgeist tried to force this narrative that he suddenly became an actual All-Star level player/second best player on a championship team and everyone just went along with it. The fact he now just sucks is way less surprising than anything else going on with the Warriors.
