    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.

      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.
