The attack Green did is unacceptable, the fact that we are still talking about how it should have stayed within the team is showing that NBA is still not finding the right mental health situation. Now you are expecting Jordan Poole to figure out a way to accept Green as who he is, sure Green will "apologize" if he is asked, if I know him, he won't be even doing that unless he got some stern warning and a punishment that is more severe than what he would normally get, and then he would do so but Poole would know he doesn't mean it. And he has to accept him as his teammate and move on.

I believe violence has no place in NBA, and players should be punished like whole season worths, or at least a serious amount of money, like 10-20 million, to make sure that nobody would ever try to do something like this ever again.

I get where you are coming from but most of these guys won't ever even make $20million, no way fines can be that high for punching someone. Agreed something needs to be done but that ain't happening. Same thing with entire season bans won't happen either unless it's something crazy.

Draymond makes around $25,000,000 per year, and next year he'll be making $27 million (if he accepts his player option). A $20 million dollar fine seems a bit much, but I could see suspending him for 2 weeks without pay or something along those lines, which would be about a million dollar loss for him. Don't worry though, he'll definitely regret punching Poole come negotiation time. He was supposed to be having a career season this year to go for a max extension, but now it looks more likely that he'll sign a lower paying deal to go to a team he wants to like the Lakers, or might even have to not accept his $27 million player option to sign with a team he wants to play for. One thing I will say now, I don't believe that both Jordan Poole and Draymond Green will be on the Warriors next season.

That's draymond yes he makes that much but you can't scale a fine based on how much someone makes per year. Most guys only ay a couple years and a lot of the bench players make maybe a mil a year before taxes. 20 million would bankrupt most all of these guys outside of the top 10% of the league. Moot point though a fine like that would never be agreed upon anyway.
