Sounds like the Bulls have finally realized what everyone else knew ages ago: That team isn't going anywhere. 

zach lavine is a great athletic talent, one of the most explosive offensive players in the nba.

and a loser.  he's a losing player.  he doesnt make anyone else better.  he doesnt pass.  he doesnt play defense.  he is bad in clutch situations but goes one on five anyway down the stretch.  he's empty calories.  he's a more likeable james harden.

that team with him and derozan is unwatchable.  a series of one on one plays with no movement and then doing nothing on d.  they'll win 38-40 games because those guys are great scorers, but when the other team wants to win, they'll usually beat the bulls.  the bulls are easy to beat in the playoffs: double derozan and let lavine shoot them out of the game.

lavine as bench scorer?  good.  lavine as third man on the lakers?  good, cause lebron will keep lavine's ego in check.  lavine on the sixers with maxey and embiid?  hmmmm....only if maxey develops into a true #1, but i can see morey betting on the talent (just like his fascination with harden).

This was in the 1st 2 minutes of the 1st quarter.  He needs a substantial suspension.  And given that he could have really caused harm to another player, it kind of takes away some of the power of the players' association to push back against a suspension.

The talk around this today is crazy. So many people defending Draymond, and Kerr's comments after the game were absolutely laughable. With his history and the fact that he literally dragged someone in a choke hold, Draymond should be gone for half a season or more. A choke hold is far more dangerous than a punch. They need to put an end to it.

But we all know the NBA won't do it for the same reason they won't take a stand against domestic violence - the dollars matter more and, in this case, the California viewer market.

The NBA needs a Probert. 

If you think about it in the context of other sports, its wild that the NHL allows players to start a boxing match in the middle of a game. We take it for granted, but its actually crazy. Closest thing I can compare it to is chessboxing. Yes. That exists.

I think it should be more.  He's got previous history, whether the transgressions have been punished or not.  Plus he was dragging Gobert backwards via chokehold.  He wasn't simply holding him back.  He was actually dragging him backwards.

Honestly, what does a 5 game suspension do?  He'll appeal, it'll get reduced to 3 games, and there will be some other altercation in the not too distant future.
