That happens when you invest in potheads.
When they need weed, they need weed. Doesn't matter whether it is in the offseason or prior to game 7 in the nba finals.
Just unreliable.
And with Russell, there's at least another one on the roster.

Imo it's 100% on Beasley. The possession charge is nothing it's everything else that is worrysome.shrink wrote:I am neutral on pot, but let me ask this.
Is it possible that drugs altered Beasley enough to grab his gun and point it at that car, or is this 100% all Beasley?

He had adderall pills. To me, if he's abusing adderall that could certainly impair decision making and create paranoia. I personally don't know if it could ever make me point a gun at someone... but it seems like it could trigger an extreme reaction like that in someone with some tendencies if they abused it for a period of time..

Calinks wrote:If I'm the team I look into all of the allegations. I assess Beasley and we have a serious sit-down. Got to see if he realized the extent of his actions and is prepared to take responsibility and change his behavior. If he seems remorseful and earnest in wanting another shot and sticking with the team, I work out a deal.
These are huge no no's but it doesn't have to be the end all be all. That said he absolutely has to get it together, can't tolerate any other issues for a long time. He seems like a great professional on the court, it's really surprising to see him screw so bad off of it.

There is CCTV footage. Independent Witnesses. He is absolutely toast and I absolutely do NOT want him on this team or any other team in the NBA.
He should be thrown out.Calinks wrote:If I'm the team I look into all of the allegations. I assess Beasley and we have a serious sit-down.

But if he was pointed automatic weapons at a family, including child, standing in a public road without provocation, he should be gone and IMO, she have at least some jail/prison time.
