People acting surprised by this is hilarious.

This was always the projected length of suspension after the initial suspension was announced.....now let's act fake mad about something that was said 3 weeks ago lol
they could have just made it 12 games instead of the indefinite amount if this was going to be the outcome. i admit i haven't followed it totally but there was some speculation when the supspenion was announced that it would be most if not all of the regular season. its a danger risk to other players when you have a full 4 minutes of videos of him assaulting other players.

He had to be in frequent contact with the league and warriors for meetings so my thought process is they didn't want to put a set # because maybe if one of those meetings went bad then maybe he doesn't come back for another 2 weeks

The fact that Woj said new years day and Shams said he would be suspended for the next 3 weeks tells me someone from the league gave them info that suspension is done by early January if he does everything we ask

did they decide something different on new years day compared to when it happened first on dec 14th? just imagine ron artest or metta world peace whatever he calls himself these days had the track record of draymond green? he would have got suspended easily for a whole season. yeah sure he had the suspension from the brawl beating up the fan and all that. this is a mistake though. i dont think anyone had him getting reinstated in january when this happened in december.

So you had this as nearly a 25 game suspension? I don't think anyone thought this was going to be that

its pretty hard to go back and find quotes and all that from dec 14th when it happened or i would. but yeah me personally i expected at a minimum he wouldnt be back till near the end of the season if at all. that was what was being insinuated by reporters when the supsension first happened. if they decided something just 2 weeks after it happened then i guess good for him but i see it as a mistake and a message that you will get repeated slaps on wrist for repeated behavior.

12 games is not a slap on the wrist.

There have been maybe a dozen longer in the history of the league.

And the really big numbers are reserved for incidents that were frankly a lot worse.

Like the Malice in the Palace, the Wizards locker room gun play and legit off court crimes.

eh matter of opinion i guess. latrell sprewell got 60 games for attacking his coach. it was intitally only 10 games but made longer after public outrage.

OJ mayo never hit nobody and got 2 years for failing drug tests

the thing that sticks out to me is he never takes responsibility for it he always makes excuses saying it was accident or not intentional.

it will be interesting to see how its discussed on by reporters and espn.

Mayo used PEDs and got caught multiple times. Not like he wasn’t deserving of a major suspension.
