Iman Shumpert Arrested for DUI Marijuana, Possession of Weed
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Iman Shumpert is threatened to face a suspension after being charged with driving under the influence, possession of marijuana and failure to maintain his driving lane in Atlanta last month.
According to TMZ, apolice report revealed that Iman Shumpert was pulled over outside Atlanta for committing traffic violations. Unfortunately, the officers noticed Shumperts bloodshot eyes and found out that he smoked some weeds before leaving his friends house.
As the police searched inside his car, they found a mason jar with marijuana. There has been no date set for his trial but the Cleveland Cavaliers said that they already contacted Shumpert regarding the situation.

The NBA has typically suspended players two games for a first DUI conviction or guilty plea. With the trouble that Iman Shumpert is currently facing, the trade rumors surrounding him heated up.
Though the Cavaliers successfully won their first championship title, Iman Shumpert suffered his worst season averaging 5.8 points on 37 percent shooting. This gave the chance for J.R. Smith to be the starting shooting guard of the team last season.
With the hope of repeating as an NBA champion, the Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly eyeing to upgrade their roster by trading for a quality rim protector.
Several opposing team executives told Amico Hoops earlier this summer the Cavs had called to explore potential trade packages centered on Shumpert, a 6-foot-5 reserve. Amico Hoops founder Sam Amico said.
The Cavaliers decided to give Iman Shumpert a four-year deal worth $40 million last summer but it seems like his recent performance didnt live up to expectations. Though the Cavaliers have not yet re-signed J.R. Smith, it is very likely that he will start over Shumpert.

In a suggested trade scenario made by Aaron Ferguson of King James Gospel, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be trading Iman Shumpert, Mo Williams, and a 2020 first-round pick for Nerlens Noel of Philadelphia 76ers. Noel is a quality rim protector that will best fit for the Cavaliers.
For the Sixers, trading one of their big men will be beneficial if they will get guards and a future first-round pick in return. As of now, the Cavaliers are expected to test the 2016-17 NBA season with Shumpert on their team but his name is still expected to be involved in various trade rumors before the deadline.
When The Bough Breaks TRAILER # 2 (Sexy Thriller - 2016)
With this Fridays release of Clint Eastwoods Sully an awards contender, starring Tom Hanks as the pilot who made an emergency landing in the Hudson River the remainder of 2016 box office will proceed at a breakneck pace. However, it may be tough to match this weekend against last year whenThe Perfect Guy and The Visit each crossed $25 million.
Sully looks to lead the weekend with over $20 million; it could be considerably higher. TheTelluride premiere led to positive critical reaction, and its heroic story along with Eastwoodsbox-office draw after the mammoth American Sniper ($350 million domestic) should give it heft.
In the 12 years since his last Oscar Best Picture winner, Million Dollar Baby, Eastwood madenine films. Two of them American Sniper and Gran Torino domestically grossed a half billion dollars combined. His otherseven movies made less than$250 million total, mostly in therange of$30 million-$50 million each. Warner Bros., his partner for all but three of his films as director, stuck with him because he keepsbudgets low (mostly $40 million or lower, though the last two increased to $60 million.)
Of course, Flight in 2012 similarly featured a major director/star combo (Robert Zemeckis and Denzel Washington) in a story involving a plane crash and its subsequent investigation. Ift opened to $25 million, with a $97 million ultimate domestic haul.
Sully
Unusual for an Eastwood film, which arealways technically top-notch but traditionally crafted, is the emphasis on IMAX camerawork and presentation. With the premium cost for these shows, it remains to be seen how important this is for ticket buyers.
Its an important film for Tom Hanks. His last seven films have been a mixed bag, with Captain Phillips a success (and the only $100 million+ domestic grosser), Bridge of Spies and Saving Mr. Banks breakeven or a bit more, and four others grossing under $40 million. Things bottomed out with A Hologram for the King, which didnt even break $5 million earlier this year.
When the Bough Breaks (Sony) is expected to place second. Its the same formula as last years The Perfect Guy: a thriller starring Morris Chestnut, set in the upper middle class African-American milieu.Regina Hall also stars in this story about a childless couple and their troubles when they bring a surrogate mother into their lives. At a thrifty $10 million budget, this could be another sleeper success for Sonys Screen Gems unit, while their Dont Breathe heads toward $100 million.
Expected to open under $10 million are The Wild Life (Lionsgate) and The Disappointments Room (Focus). Wild is the first of at least five wide-release animated films for the rest of the year. Another talking animals cartoon feature, this one riffs on the Robinson Crusoe story by providing the castaway with companions. Its a Belgian/French production, and not expected to remotely perform at the same level as top studio or high-end independent productions (such as Laika with their current Kubo and the Two Strings).
A release forThe Disappointments Room isa victory in itself. The first Relativity production to be distributed post-bankruptcy, itstarsKate Beckinsale and is directed by D.J. Caruso, whose biggest successes have come from thrillers and horror films (Eagle Eye). This, like When the Bough Breaks, is the story of ayoung family in peril at home; with that competition, and with Dont Breathe still strong,it has limited hopes for much of a gross.
Among several positively reviewed new specialized releases, the standout isAuthor The J.T. Leroy Story. Adocumentary about the search for the true identity of a literary sensation, it premiered atSundance. Amazon Films distributes through a partnership with Magnolia Pictures. Initial dates are at four top New York and Los Angeles theaters.
