But the league doesn't have full control over the situation -- didn't the suspension of Sprewell (already a pretty light response to a choking assault) get reversed?

2 here as well. Spre got a one-year suspension initially, which was cut back to the remaining 68 games (or whatever) of the season. I think they may have cancelled his contract, too, which is part of the reason for the fight over the suspension. Artest's contract hasn't come into play . . . at least yet.
I'd guess the league will put a lot of effort into keeping the season ban. They might end up, after arb., dropping a few games off the other long ones.
