Is this from drinking or weed?

Not smart, and not expected from someone like Moose.

"I think I'll sign a one-year deal at half my market value and then behave irresponsibly."

Genius!

It took me a second to realize what they meant because I've never seen it worded that way before. At first glance I was like, "Yeah, Greg, It's not smart to drive without your glasses on."

Prolly celebrating his last year as a Piston.
If this was Smith... what would be said?

Driving While Visibly Impaired is described as a "lesser offense" to a DUI in the state of Michigan and could include other substances in addition to alcohol.

Well at least we are guaranteed to see how pistons do with Josh Smith starting at power forward for the first 2 games.

So it's not a DUI then just some weed it looks like?

Eh, still a dumb move though, this hits his value later on when he wants a contract next summer.

thats what I thought... so he was under the influence of something other than alcohol?

Way to make the case for a max contract Moose!

This was the last thing I'd expect from him.

And it keeps getting better and better with this guy,keeps going this way and not only does svg look smart but he"ll look like a genius.

Yeah' I'm genuinely surprised to see this kind of behavior from Greg.

I don't wish him any particular ill will in light of the contract situation, but this is certainly disappointing.

He probably drove into a pole and just sat there yelling "And 1" until the cops showed up assuming he must be impaired to be acting in such a way.
