Free agent guard Delonte West is considering the Suns, Lakers and Mavericks, league sources say. Re-signing with Boston is possible too.

@WojYahooNBA

I'm still pretty bothered by this - TJ Ford just got a vet min deal, I don't see Delonte getting much more than that (even if he is worth more). Not sure what's taking Danny so long.

Perhaps he is not sold on bringing a crazy person, who is often injured, and was a major disappointment in the playoffs last year back.

We are going to sign Maqruis who is also injury prone. Bringing West back for a vet min. deal doesn't seem any more risky than signing MD.

My guess is Delonte is the one waiting for the biggest offer to come along. The guy is broke! ;)

Celtics can offer Delonte a maximum of 1 year at around the vet's minimum. They would be happy to resign Delonte for that immediately.

The difference is contenders would happily offer Delonte an extra year and an extra million from MLE.

That's the issue with Delonte resigning with Celtics: Boston needs to retain cap room.

Agreed.  Delonte should be worth more than the minimum to somebody.  If the BAE had been taken from us in the new CBA I'd be a lot more optimistic about retaining him.
