I think it's time for delonte to be away from the NBA for a while.

This guy really needed a decent paycheck right now. Maybe a reality check will serve him better, and hopefully allow him to return to the nba in the future to secure his long term future.

Took me a few seconds but I got it. I was scared there for a minute. West could start next to Wade probably.

This but I'm curious what this conduct that was so detrimental could have been.  Has anyone asked Lebron's opinion on this?

His first suspension was alleged to be at least in part because of a post-game outburst in the locker room.  The second one, I have read, had to do with him starting an argument between teammates. 

I think it is reasonable to think that adding DW to your team means there is a decent chance you will eventually see a fight in your locker room.

we have terry, lee, barbosa, and bradley (and obviously rondo).  we dont need dwest.  if we were thin at that position, i would definitely sign him. he kept it together here both times and there is a genuine like/respect from dwest to the celts and vice versa.  i think it could work.  i would have done a one year deal with a team option for the second year.

When the family member is your crazy uncle your glad just to see them on the Holidays!

He is not stable,  he probably never will be, the life of a pro athlete is not good for mental health will all the travel and sleep deprivation not to mention the stress levels.  He is a hard nosed kid with a body of glass.   Joseph has more size and upside these days.   

As another poster stated we could have had him last year and they passed.   He is done here, Kaput!   Get over it and move on....
