What do you think? Did David Stern just need a quick 50K and saw Michael Beasley?

The NBA fined Beasley 50k for his involvement in the NBA Rookie Transition scandal. Michael was former Kansas Jayhawks and now Memphis Grizzlies Darrell Arthur, and also Miami Heat teammate Mario Chalmers.

Beasley did not cooperate with the league’s investigation into the incident, which also involved Heat point guard Mario Chalmers and Memphis forward Darrell Arthur. Chalmers and Arthur were expelled from the rookie symposium and each fined $20,000.

Everyone knows that women, weed, and the NBA Rookie Transition do not mix. The Police were responding to a fire alarm at 2 a.m. and smelled something like weed.

That is one expensive bag of weed!

Earlier all we heard was that Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were smoking weed at the NBA Rookie Symposium. Now they deny it, but were still fined 20,000 dollars.

Security at the resort near New York where the event took place found Arthur and Chalmers in a room with two women, and the scent of marijuana was detected. No drugs or drug paraphernalia were found, but having guests in the room violated NBA policy, and the two rookies were sent home.

Arthur and Chalmers apologized but denied using marijuana. Next year they’ll have to again attend the symposium, which addresses the challenges of making the transition to pro ball.

Where there is smoke there is fire and where there is weed smell there is … hmm.
This not the way to start your NBA career.

Why is it we all think of the NBA as a league full of pot smokers?

We don’t seem to worry too much about performance enhancing drugs, just weed.

Anyway, it has happened again. Players got caught. Rookies. Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were caught at the rookie transition program.

Chalmers, who sank the game-tying, buzzer-beating 3-pointer that forced overtime in Kansas’ 75-68 championship victory over Memphis, was drafted 34th by Minnesota. He was quickly traded to Miami, where he is expected to vie for the starting point guard position after playing well during summer league. Chalmers played three seasons for the Jayhawks.

Arthur, also an early-entry candidate who played two years at Kansas, was a sympathetic figure on draft night. Roundly believed to have lottery-type talent, Arthur sank to the 27th spot after erroneous rumors of a health problem circulated throughout the league.

Then, after being selected by New Orleans, the 6-foot-9 forward was traded to Portland, then Houston, before finally settling in Memphis.
