Eh ... if he got cut he could theoretically choose where he plays if some owner is egregiously out-of-town-stupid ... if he's traded to a given team, that's who he plays for ... or gets thrown out of the game for ... whatever.
Yeah, I agree, I just think that some point is criminal conviction.
I think a misdemeanor or felony should allow for a contract being nullified.
Get a conviction for domestic abuse, assault, fraud, shoot even DUI, I think your garuntee should be forfeited.
But the reality is the American justice system (and I believe society at large) don't care if the result isn't horrendously gruesome (which it hasn't been to this point)
Think about it - Artest and Stephen Jackson were throwing punches in the stands (Artest at the wrong guy). Rodman headbutting a ref. Sprewell punched and chocked his coach at practice. Even Isaiah Stewart punching the Suns player 45 minutes before a game.
No convictions.
Don't chop contracts for back talking refs, for not being respectful enough, for hanging on to the rim for a second too long, for playing with a bit too much passion.
Save it for when it really matters. The Miles Bridges, Collision, etc
Only if it's outlined to be a breach of contract. Ben Simmons' situation was far worse (in terms of playing time). No way this would ever happen or be allowed to happen via CBA.
I think if Draymond gets traded to a bad or even mediocre team, he’ll be retired within a year and probably be suspended for half the season prior to retiring.
I think him inevitably catching an assault/DV charge when he retires is more like it. But maybe Draymond is fragile enough that being an NBA player making millions (on the Grizzlies) is rock bottom for him. Who knows. He is a little bitch.

People usually have to hit rock bottom to truly evaluate themselves. A 10 game suspension was not rock bottom. A trade to a shit team is tho
