(Mark Blount!)



Who doesn't miss this guy? And he's probably more of a reason why we made the finals than anyone else on the team. Bring him home, Danny (with Shaq).

That last one is one of the funniest videos I've seen. Ch-ch-chipotle. (Language warning)

I could roll with Delonte...I think his most effective days as an NBA player were when he was in Green.

He could spell Ray, and be a solid defender there, as well. Plus he can still score and has range.

So:

Bigs - Shaq, KG, J.O, Glen, Luke, And Perk once he gets back

SF - Pierce, Marguis, (hopefully Scally)

SG - Ray, Delonte, AB

PG - Rondo, Nate, AB

Don't miss him.

I don't miss him either.  He is erratic and shows poor judgement and is a diagnosed bipolar not the measure of stability one needs. 

I can't argue with his best days were here.  He is scrappy.

everyone knows that an nba players number of tattoo's is directly related to his IQ.. in this case more = less :P
Andy Bernard doesnt lose constests. He wins them, or he quits them because they're unfair.

Not in the mood to post links, but stats show that Bipolar disorder is the 2nd most misdiagnosed disorder(Right behind ADHD)
That being said, I don't disagree with him having issues, but I don't remember him having any issues in Boston, and the only reason he was traded away was to net Ray Ray.
So yes, I would take Delonte back any day(along with Shaq)
Can't stop, Rondo!

I just want to re-iterate that everyone here (well, maybe just the younger demographic) should watch the KFC Freestyle above. Seriously.

I don't miss him much, but our options at the 2/3 are limited right now.  Unless Danny is confident he can upgrade in other ways or that Avery Bradley is ready to play now, we might as well try to pick him up.  He and a healthy Marquis could be an upgrade over last year.

Haha...poor CHA. We've really victimized them with game-winners over the last few years.

Delonte sticks it to them in the video in this thread, and Ray's done it to them several times in the past as well.

I'd rather have Tony Allen back, to tell you how much I want no part of Delonte West.

I like Delonte and his game will be useful to whichever team signs him.  But he's too much of a loose cannon to trust in the future, and he's done too much in the past for Wyc to want anything to do with him.
