Interesting Video behind the scenes with Delonte West.  I still pull for this guy to get it together. I really liked him when he was here and always wished him well. He's in a struggle and hopefully he'll come out of it a better man.

  • No no no, not THAT "Eric M Van".
There's a very lengthy article about West from Slate's web site that was published at the start of June.

I posted it as part of my "Long View" (Shameless self promotion)  Series of articles on the NBA & Basketball that I throw out there once a week or so.

Why Isn’t Delonte West in the NBA?

by David Haglund.  He put over a year into writing it and it's very well written and informative as to West's situation and affliction.

Would love to see him on a contender. Think he can really help out a team.

Can't believe some veteran team hasn't picked him.  He was very good off the bench for us in 2011.  and I'm sure he'd take a vet minimum contract.

it sounds ironic but i think the cavs could really use him as a even 3rd string and more floor spacing for lebron.

You don't deal with those headaches for a bench player.  Love Delonte, wish him all the best, but his issues are well-documented.
