Draymond Green<\/strong> would be breathing a lot easier today if Shaquille O’Neal<\/strong> were running the NBA … ’cause the Lakers legend says he’d only suspend DG two games if league punishments were up to him.<\/p>\n O’Neal made the declaration while speaking with Babcock<\/strong> and Charles<\/strong> on “TMZ Live” on Thursday — less than 24 hours after Green was banned by Adam Silver<\/strong> indefinitely for smacking Jusuf Nurkic<\/strong> in the head during an altercation in the Warriors vs. Suns game.<\/p>\n Shaq says he believes Green had no bad intentions when he flailed his right arm<\/strong> into Nurkic’s face — explaining he’s buying the Warriors star’s explanation that he was simply trying to sell a call.<\/p>\n “I don’t think Draymond said, ‘Hey, I’m going to punch this guy just ’cause he’s pulling my jersey,'” Shaq said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Diesel went on to tell the guys that he believes the play was merely a flop gone wrong.<\/p>\n Of course, Silver and the NBA apparently disagree … because they’ve banned Green<\/strong> from suiting up for Golden State for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n The league said Green — who previously was suspended five games<\/strong> for choking Rudy Gobert<\/strong> earlier this year — “will be required to meet certain league and team conditions before” he can rejoin the Warriors this season.<\/p>\n
