Good for him. Good luck DWest, go get your ring if the celtics can't do it. Stop LA and the Heat.

A bit disappointed with that, was hoping Delonte West would go somewhere where he'd get a bit more playing time + could play off of a ball-dominant guard.

I would have liked to have seen him find a better situation for himself.

The Mavs are a solid home for him but not a great one.

Delonte vs. Lamar Odom and Vince Carter

Tough call.

Playing time is going to be an issue.  In terms of a ball-dominant guard, though, he'll probably be seeing minutes next to Vince and/or Terry.  That aspect won't necessarily be a huge problem with the Mavs.

I'm curious if the Mavs envision him taking over the Barea role, or at least sharing that role with Rodrigue Beaubois.  Neither is the distributor that Barea was.

So whats the news on Barea? Surprised his name hasnt come up more (not necessarily for us) in FA news.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

He signed with the Twolves.

Wow

So the Mavs have got so far Odom, Carter + now West?

Man. I wish Danny had picked up Odom + Carter

I wonder why the celtics passed on West for Dooling?? was it a case of west being injury prone? or more about the $$?? be interested to see what he was signed for...if it was for vet-min ill be dissapointed.

the Mavs have to be the deepest team in the West right now IMO...I dont see how the lakers compete unless they make a trade.

Kidd/West
Carter/Terry
Marion
Dirk/Odom
Haywood

But ya i will REALLY miss DWest. Didnt realize he only played 24 games last year. A lot of baggage but a good guy I think and played hard
