Sad really. Just read the story about Pierce talking about Antoine Walker and how things have backslid for him so far and it's clear now West is right behind him. At this point West makes Tony Allen look like Ray Allen. I wouldn't touch Delonte with a 10 foot pole right now.
apples and oranges. One seems to have made poor financial decisions, one has a medical condition.
I like them both, but other than being ex-celtics, they don't share much in common.
Sorry, but Delonte has made a lot of bad decisions lately. Illness doesn't excuse his poor decisions. Wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole as someone else said here. I know people with his disorders (as I'm probably sure you do too) and they don't make poor decisions like Delonte has.
While I agree that Illness is not an excuse for poor decisions, I completely disagree that it is not a possible (or even probable) reason for them. Your friends have nothing to do with Delonte or his disease. If they have not made bad decisions because of their disease, that's great for them, but it isn't relevant in this discussion.
The fact remains though, sickness is not an excuse for making bad decisions. The person making those decisions still needs to live with the consequences of them. Now, he might get a little more leniency in the eyes of the public, but it doesn't mean he is not responsible for his actions.
As for whether I would consider bringing West back to the C's...no chance right now. If you cannot count on a player being on the floor...or even present at practice, no matter the reason why, then I do not think you want him on the roster.
