Delonte West getting ready to return to the NBA

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Why are people obsessed with this guy? I guess he was an all right defender. Never understood why people thought he was so great. I remember rumors about him being in deals for other players and people freaking out and W&G having to reassure everybody that the Cavs "love love love love love love Delonte!!" and the post got like 500 thanks.

/facepalm

Now that we have actual real studs on the team can we just forget about him? :chuckles:

Only if the real talent we got now has 1/10th the heart West got. Cavs will win the next 5-6 championships.
 
No, but I wouldn't expect all my other boys to hate him for it.

You seem to be under the impression that he's out of the league because he banged LeBron's mom. That's not the case.

screw you man! west for president!!!!
 
Dude has legit talent and built his game for whatever the team asked of him. He was the ultimate competitor, unfortunately his illness got the best of him. If you've ever talked to him in person, he's an awesome down to earth kinda guy. There will always be a soft spot in my heart for Delonte.

My wife and I went to Fan Night one of the years that he was here. We had floor seats and were able to go down to whatever the club was called at the time for food and drinks. After the game we were standing down there and I talked with Delonte's dad for a few minutes. He was a really cool guy. When Delonte came out he called for him to come over. He signed the program we had and hung out and talked for a couple minutes. That little time he took always put him a little higher in my book. Plus he is left handed and being a left myself I always like left handed players better.

He played his ass off while he was here and was always my favorite to watch even though Lebron was on the team
 
I think, at the end of the day with everything that has happened with James coming back and truly showing signs of being a complete different person than his last time here in Cleveland, he wouldn't seem to care about something in the past. Like he said himself, "who am I to hold a grudge?"

Of course, the dude loves his mom.. So I, or anybody else for that matter don't know what he feels about that whole situation. Even if LeBron said he didn't care about it, the Cavs still would probably pass on the chance to bring West back anyway.

I do hope he finds a team.. Always loved his game.

is Yao wearing Capri pants or was he just shopping off the rack again?
 
Delonte's grit and hustle out on the court was what made him a fan favorite - a la Delly. He's 5x as talented though. Would love to see him back in the NBA.
 
He was on his way to being a great player. Man he had an amazing year in 2009. I always think of that last 3 pointer he missed in Orlando, and how the whole series and maybe his life would have been different.
 
Kyrie's backup next season on a minimum contract? Yes please...

And yes, I know it'll never happen because of past incidents.. But I can dream can't I?
