Eh, I am glad he got suspended, guy needs to be sent a bit of a message.

But I don't want to trade him. I am utterly on the 'dump stephenson' bandwagon, but there's a damn far cry between being a thug who hits women and sexually assaults people and a guy who smokes weed. One of those guys, you suspect that he'll screw with his teammates, get in fights, and has a serious ego and narcissistic tendencies. The other guy, you suspect he kicks ass at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and knows all the best mexican food places in town.


Seriously, yes, he shouldn't be smoking weed, he's a professional, etc.... but it's the NBA. I bet 95% have smoked weed at some point in their life, and 50% have smoked it in the last month. Kid you not.

I wouldn't say I'm surprised, because as a Pacers' fan, how can you be?

The Pacers have invested millions of dollars into Brandon to act professional both on and off the court. It's time he start acting like one or risk playing out his rookie contract and being out of the league. He already has a lot to prove, and this isn't helping his case. He's young though, and it's not exactly the worst of offenses, but hopefully, he just learns his lesson.

I followed the Rush brothers through college and into the NBA. They been smoking weed forever so don't expect much from him when it comes to work ethic.

I don't see how he finishes his rookie contract.

The only intrinsique value that Brandon has is as a defender, keep a lot ofthe top players under their respective averages, meaning he'd be like a 7th or 8th man off the bench at best.

But you never know several coaches admire defense enough could offer something up for Rush.

If kyphi can't find a positive thing to say about him, then he must be disposed of!

I wonder what the does to his trade value.

Some of us Bulls fans would consider him (some fans hate him...even before this)....but Pax likes his players to be good citizens....for the most part.

But...I have a feeling Rush and Noah would be sparking it up on road trips.....
