I get defending your players but I’m super happy with 25
I mean, it is unprecedented and arbitrary without a clear explanation so far of the methodology
It’d be kinda funny if they reduced it by 8 games so theoretically Ja could still be eligible for All NBA if he played all 65 games for which he’d be available, if his level of play merits it
There is absolutely no precedence for the number. No one can argue that. But it is what it is and 25 days is something we can move forward from.
I think it’s crazy he got 25 for being a dumbass on social media and people acting like it’s a light suspension when Miles Bridges got 30 for beating his girlfriend which was actually worthy of being a full season suspension.
I was in favor of JJ Redicks proposal of doubling the original 8 game suspension to 16, but people are losing their minds he only got 25 so maybe it’s better this way.
And all these media bums and r/nba chads said the PA wouldn’t stick up for him
Probably nothing will happen, but I’d think 16-20 is a fair compromise.
