Ouch, I guess Udonis joined the Miama Globetrotters and got bit by the lazy bug! It is hard to be motivated while your toking up (believe me I know), and I guess it also does not help being on a team that makes you the Hilton Armstrong of the team because of the "Colossal Three".

Hmmm, wonder if Haslem gets suspended at all or if his league punishment is same or exceeds what Tyreke Evans is possibly handed for his "little incident." Everyone knows (or at least I think they do) that NBA does not generally bat an eye over "private" cannibas use by its players since union got that part of positive drug testing eliminated years ago. Miami area (less so FL as a whole) is notorously lenient in such "pot" busts unlike DUI - meaning 3rd degreefelony will likely be pleaded to a lessor. I doubt he gets his drivers license suspended over any of it but maybe they nail him on the infraction of having illegal over-tint windows

I thought the NBA would give out 1 gamers for this kind of offense. I don't really see this as a big deal though (presuming there was no evidence that he was under the influence at the time).
