“That was a lot of weed”, “Bro called Saul”, “Why does bro need to traffic marijuana?” - Fans react strongly as Montrezl Harrell’s felony charges get reduced

Montrezl Harrell is one of the best bench players in the NBA. The big man, who last played for the Charlotte Hornets and is currently an unrestricted free agent, recently ran into trouble with the law.

Harrell was caught with three pounds of marijuana in Kentucky. The former Sixth Man of the Year was pulled over, and upon a search of his vehicle, the police found marijuana in sealed vacuum bags.

He could have faced up to five years in prison, but luckily for him, his charges of marijuana trafficking were reduced to misdemeanor possession. If he avoids more trouble with the law in the next 12 months, the misdemeanor will be removed from his record.

Harrell may have avoided jail time, but he could not hide from fans on Twitter. They had a field day, making fun of the situation the NBA forward is in.

Many Twitter users joked that Saul Goodman is Montrezl Harrell's lawyer. For those of you who are not familiar with Goodman, he's a fictional character from the "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" shows. Goodman is an expert when it comes to reducing his clients' sentences, even when they are guilty.

One user pointed out Harrell's connection to the University of Louisville.

Considering that the NBA free agent was caught with three pounds of marijuana, it's surprising that he did not face any serious charges. One Twitter user pointed out how the amount of marijuana Harrell was caught with was not insignificant.

Another user, however, believes that the reduction in charges was completely fine since marijuana is legal in some states.

A Twitter user believes that Montrezl Harrell got away with drug trafficking simply because he is rich and famous.

Harrell has made more than $34 million from his contracts alone, yet this doesn't seem to be enough for him, according to some fans.

Harrell is currently a free agent and could sign with any team that offers him a contract. One of those teams could be the Philadelphia 76ers.

Twitter users also posted a number of memes, referencing Miles Bridges, who was arrested this offseason. He is facing domestic violence charges and his NBA career may be over.
