Rockets' Reed arrested for marijuana possession Associated Press September 5, 2007 at 1:07 PM EDT JACKSON, Miss. ? Houston Rockets' swingman Justin Reed was released Wednesday after being arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Reed was arrested Tuesday night in Jackson. He was released from the Hinds County jail early Wednesday, said Capt. Ken Magee of the Hinds County Sheriff's Department. Reed was charged with possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, which carries a fine from $100 to $250. No date has been set for his appearance in Hinds County court. In June, Reed and point guard Mike James were traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Rockets in a deal that sent Juwan Howard to Minnesota. Reed, who played at Mississippi, averaged 2.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 41 games last season for the Timberwolves. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/...70905.wsptreed5 ----- 2 Rockets arrested 3x total in one Summer. With Rick Adelman here, all I can think of is the Portland JailBlazers.
At least he was busted prior to training camp. The Rockets can give his spot up to another free agent. I wouldn't put the "Jailblazers" problems on Adelman. The GM at the time and Paul Allen should take the blame.
phew I thought it might have been a more important player at the time I read the title, what a relief.
^Yea I thought like Mike James killed someone or Rafer was convicted of more drug and slashing issues.

If I remember right, we now have 18 players under contract including Sura. A shame that Reed had to go ahead and do something dumb like this; I thought he had a shot.
How the hell did that "!" sign get there? Yea, he means nothing. I wanted him packaged in a trade. Yao Battier T-Mac Francis James Hayes Head Scola Wells Alston Snyder Butler Brooks Lucas Harris Landry Reed Sura 18, and we still haven't resigned Deke. I would cut/trade Reed, Sura, and send Landry to the D-League. If we do trade Alston, Lucas would be great to have around, especially with Adelman running the show. The same vice-versa.
You forgot Novak. I'd keep Landry as a 3rd string PF, Butler as 3rd string C, trade Rafer, Lucas, Sura and cut Harris or Reed. The only stupid part about Reed was because he got caught.
