A mood disorder is no excuse for carrying a shotgun while riding on a [expletive]ing motorcycle. Edited September 19, 2009 by Dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 He has some problems. I remember last year he had to see a psychologist for therapy before the season started. Atleast he didnt actually pull the trigger like Plaxico, Marvin Harrison, etc... He'll be back fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose to say he wouldn't have if he wasn't caught beforehand?Cavs Don't Know How To Handle WestDelonte West's recent transgressions may have placed his future with the Cavaliers in doubt. West was arrested last week on weapons charges after being pulled over for speeding on his motorcycle. The guard had three loaded guns in his possession. Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain Dealer writes that the Cavaliers, who have always supported him, were already unsure of how to handle the hard-nosed guard. Last August, West was charged with marijuana possession in the midst of free agency. They ended up giving him a three-year contract worth $12.6 million. Then, after a training camp scuffle, West left the team briefly as he struggled with his bipolar disorder.

Cleveland's Finest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Even though he pretty much is my favorite player in the Cavs besides Z, I'd be fine trading him. Anthony Parker, while he's older, can start for the Cavs and he doesn't have any problems like Delonte. We could get some good value for Delonte because he's young still and is a solid defensive player and 3 pt shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) He isn't going to jail is he? West is one of the Cav's few youg role players that actually steps up and is solid for them every night. It would be a big loss to lose him. Anthony Parker is nowhere near the impact player that Delonte is IMO. Edited September 26, 2009 by Diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 "On September 17, 2009 West was pulled over for a traffic violation. During this stop it was found that West had a 9mm Beretta pistol, .357 Magnum, and a Remington 870 in a guitar case. He was arrested and has an upcoming court appearance on Nov. 20. West could face a fine of $2,500 or a 3 to 5 year prison sentence on weapons charges."-Wikipedia I guess we'll find out sometime in November.

Owner Real Deal Posted October 5, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 So the latest on this? I read somewhere that he missed two practices before finally showing up...and the organization is flip-flopping about what they want to do with him.

andreusito Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Can they cut him without paying him at all? Like because of legal problems or something? They should just go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for some reason, doubt they can do that. Something in my mind just doubts it whether it's true or not. Maybe on certain details of his contract say something regarding issues like this.
