SmackCaster SmackBlog —
... Darrell Arthur, who was tossed from the NBA rookie transition program with fellow Kansan Marion Chalmers, is all apologetic in the Memphis Commercial appeal. Sounds like he spent a few days in a program learning what to say from his agent and the team. The whole "I’m sorry" routine is so played.

Arthur Comes Clean...But the Stain Remains
3 Shades of Blue —
... Darrell was quoted as saying he didn't use marijuana that night nor has he ever used marijuana in his life. He admitted to making a big mistake by allowing the women into his room but he wants everyone to know he did not partake in any drug use nor does he condone it.

The Unmistakably Curious Case of Michael Beasley
Hardwood Paroxysm —
... program. The Kansas City Star reports that Beasley's name was removed from the ESPN article. (In a fit of irony, the Star article has since been removed.) OK, so Chalmers and Arthur were busted with weed and girls at the rookie program. Alright fine, so the cops didn't actually find any weed...but the room smelled strongly of the stuff. Chalmers and Arthur both insist that they didn't smoke anything, and that the weed belonged to the ladies in their room. Actually, there was a third mystery person ...
