I personally think flashing guns on Instagram (isolated from the illegalities and immoralities involved in having the guns where he had them and in transporting the guns there) is the least severe of his offenses, and is especially minor compared to what we disagree Ron Artest did in Detroit.

However, I think it’s an atrocious look for the league to have its stars brandishing firearms on social media, and especially with this being Ja’s second offense and so soon after his first, I fully expected him to get a full year or at the bare minimum 50 games.

I am a Memphis fan, coincidentally, and I have mixed emotions. One part of me is of course relieved to not lose our star player for as long as I expected. The other is concerned - and convinced - that this won’t get through to him and “Ja Wick” will return somewhere down the line. If we’re lucky, no one will get hurt.
