2 years is steep. Why not treat it like drug court and try to help the guy get his s*** together.
Maybe the have and someone can set the record straight
Is this the same thing that happened to OJ Mayo
Ever seen the 30 for 30 about Chris Herren?Amazing how a guy can function as a high level NBA player while on all that.

dude was standing on a street corner in the rain in his NBA warm up, 30 minutes before tip, waiting for his dealer to arrive. That is a whole new level of problem. Not saying Tyreke doesn't have some issues he needs to straighten out, but Herren's story is just wild.Ever seen the 30 for 30 about Chris Herren?
Definitely different situations. Herren only lasted a couple years in the NBA and didn't do much while there but went on to play another 5 years overseas while still on heroin. Tyreke has been way more successful but most likely isn't a full on heroin junkie. I just had to mention Chris Herren because his story is something everybody should hear. Inspiring to see somebody get to such a low point in their life, manage to pull out of it, and go on to use their story to help others. A lot of people don't survive living the kind of life he was living let alone get themselves together enough to start a foundation that saves lives.dude was standing on a street corner in the rain in his NBA warm up, 30 minutes before tip, waiting for his dealer to arrive.

I had never heard of him before either, just listened to him talk to the Memphis basketball team. What a crazy story of what happened in his life, thankfully for him and his family he was able to get through that.Definitely different situations.
