It's a play that endangers another athlete on the court and it isn't even a play on the ball. I think it's unfair to other players who have to play against him. I'm also interested to see how the league responds. He had an indefinite suspension that worked out to 16 games for a history of actions like this and came back in January of this season. The league doesn't want to suspend him because they're concerned they might make less money if they do so, but they also need to maintain some image as a legitimate authority in this matter. Gotta keep GSW in the play-in too ;)

The only viable path I can see is to continuously hit him with suspensions so his team/coach have to call him out. Draymond himself won't care about the suspension or negative image, but he probably still wants to be paid.

which is a flagrant foul, as i said. i’m not saying it’s nothing, i’m saying it’s not as bad as ball kicking, chest stomping, and backhands to the face.
