Draymond Green will be fined but not suspended and will rejoin the team on Thursday.

This is interesting considering he did punch another nba player. Now if it was someone on another team, then the league intervenes?

I guess the NBA has taken the stance, what happens in practice stays in practice.

However, they haven't taken this position with ownership, coaching and management.

Too early but it looks right now like DiVincenzo was a good signing for the Warriors. He's not GP2 but he defends and passes the ball, his shooting is good enough.

Wiseman looks significantly improved over when we last saw him, he had some finishes against Nurkic that were really impressive for a guy who's missed so much time.

Moody looks great.

So far not seeing a significant jump from Kuminga, still talented but seems to be shooting way too many 3's but that might because it's preseason. He was the guy I expected to take the biggest jump of the 3 Moody, Wiseman and him so the other 2 are pleasant surprises, right now bit disappointed he doesn't seem to have made that jump

That bugs me he should be suspended IMO.

I guess the other players didn't want to get on Green's bad side if the Warriors were not going to suspend him.

The players were never going to vote for it. I'm a bit disappointed in Steve Kerr. I used to follow him quite a bit on Twitter politically.

It doesn't surprise me that the players weren't going to want him suspended they've been through so much together but it does suprise me Kerr and Myers didn't suspend him at least a few games.

I was really hoping this would finally be the come to Jesus moment Draymond needed but all it is now as affirmation of his bad behavior

I’d be shocked if the Warriors take a step back due to Draymond’s antics. They’ve dealt with it before and only have to deal with him for one more year. How Klay comes back is the big one. We know what to expect from Wiggins and Poole. Steph is one title away from passing Lebron and you know he wants to.

Yes, it was never a decision for the players to make.

The Trail Blazers are giving Olivier Sarr a two-way contract. He is a player I wanted for the Suns on such a contract.

Oh well, I will take Saben Lee on the regular roster.

I'm with Westbrook on this one. Patrick Beverley?

It appears Moe Harkless and Theo Maledon have cleared waivers.

Harkless might be worth taking a look at. He's a tweener forward, more of a SF, but is a vet who is an active defender with a decent outside shot.

No wonder, Westbrook was not really engaged with his teammates in a recent tweet/video. He will be coming off the bench for the Lakers.

Dennis Schroder of the Lakers has suffered a finger injury. His status is uncertain.

Kemba Walker anyone? The Pistons appear likely to waive him.

No downside for Charlotte with this signing.

Per Gambo, it appears the Suns do not have interest in Kemba Walker.
