Your Morning Dump... Where Udonis Haslem is busted for pot

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

An FHP trooper pulled over Haslem, 30, who had been driving east in his 2008 Mercedes-Benz, after he was clocked going 78 mph in a 60 mph zone, Wysocky said.

The trooper smelled marijuana in the vehicle, FHP said. After a search, Haslem and his passenger, Antwain Fleming, were arrested and charged with marijuana possession, Wysocky said.

Haslem was also was cited for illegal window tint.

Why do we care about Haslem's arrest? Because he's an integral part of the evil Miami Heat and likely be suspended for the season opener vs the Celtics.

Haslem was charged with "possessing more than 20 grams of marijuana, a third-degree felony which could bring maximum punishments of a $5,000 fine and a five-year prison sentence." There is no way a guy with his legal defense means goes to jail, especially if this is his first offense.

On Page 2, remember when Rondo was on the Team USA roster bubble?

Celtic Nation has nothing to worry about.

Rajon Rondo has not only secured a spot on the 12-man roster, he is pegged now as the team's starting point guard.

Although officials haven't indicated who is on the bubble for not being added to the 12-man roster, all indications point toward the next player cut will be either Stephen Curry of Golden State, Eric Gordon of the Los Angeles Clippers or Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City.
