At 27, I'm not even sure he gets the benefit of the doubt as 'a young guy making bad decisions'.

But seriously: Three Hawks arrested in 5 months...good grief. And the Head Coach about to go to trial on DUI charges.

Old guy question: Molly = Ecstasy, right?

Who carries 'X' in their car at nine in the morning? Do drug dealers not deliver to millionaires anymore?

How many years in the slammer is he getting?

For a first time drug possession charge?

I'm guessing probation for 12-18 months.

But baby brother with the eluding charge...might be a few months in county lockup. depends on if he takes the fall for Mike in this and claims the drugs were his.

Scott was the passenger in a car. So he is probably innocent, but ya, he is pretty dumb to hang out with a guy who carries drugs, especially since he signed a $10 million contract

Probably zero or community service, because the driver of the car will probably just admit to owning the drugs.

I believe that guy is his little brother.

That said, they both admitted to weed being in the car so he knew about the weed at very least. I would doubt he didn't know about the X. Probably for personal use(which is a whole other problem...weed is one thing...molly is a whole other thing).

It's not like Bud can come down on him hard. At 27? and with the privilege of a multi-year contract? The guy is not listening to his union, or the NBA about what NOT to do. The high speed chase in North Georgia? I guess going 80 is boring.

No one is going to take this on, and I don't expect much from him at this point. He's going to have to come out and plead for public forgiveness before he starts representing the team again.

Ya of course Scott knew about the weed after the chase, because when your buddy all of a sudden decides to go on a 100mph car chase from the cops for two miles, your first question to your buddy would be like "hey dude, just wondering, why are we running from the cops??"

Its up to Scott and his buddy to say if Scott knew about the weed before the chase or after the chase.

Optimistic, yet such delusional statements......betting he KNEW what was up....

Of course he knew. A millionaire and his brother in a car from, based on the amount, just buying weed and molly...who do you think footed that bill?

Who cares?? Even if Scott gave his brother the money, he wouldn't know what it was used for. When a 15yr kid buys weed, were do u think he gets the money from? So he kids's parents are guilty for giving him money, no way does that logic even make sense.

So just so we are clear here....you are being serious? I am not big on picking up on sarcasm.

Scotty and his bro were riding dirty, there's no real scenario I could see where either was unaware that the other was carrying. I mean it's possible but the amounts in question seem to suggest a shared good time, certainly not enough for lil bro to hold a corner but I guess maybe he was looking forward to enjoying a long weekend by himself all while big bro remained entirely oblivious.

Apaprently MIke Scott told police the drugs were all his.

While I respect the (alleged) honesty of owning to it from the start.

I hate any young guy who confesses to the cops without an attorney present.

My guess, looking at the mugshot, Mike was smoking in the vehicle before hand. That's why they attempted to elude the police in a routine traffic stop. He was probably so high he just started talking without thinking.

Rule of thumb: Never talk to the cops without an attorney.

Anything you say can AND WILL be held against you in a court of law.

Exactly. I mean, no offense to mike, but, what a dumb dumb move.
