Silver and the NBA are going to have to take some blame and accountability for this situation as well as they should have stepped in and dropped the hammer on Ja the first time instead of rushing him back in time for the playoffs. I don't see how they can originally go from a 10 game suspension for all of those previous incidents to a 40 game (hypothetically speaking) suspension for this most recent incident even with Ja being a repeat offender.
The only incident that should even be relevant in this upcoming suspension is him waving the gun in the club. Including anything else should have been included in the first suspension.
I’ve made similar criticisms before in how the NFL handles their suspensions as well.
