That won't be that big of a deal on the Lakers. On the Cavs he was surrounded by a bunch of clowns that only promoted his questionable behavior. With the Lakers, he'll be surrounded by veteran leadership and great coaching which is precisely the type of support system he needs.
I'd love to have Delonte. I've read enough Cavs game threads to know just how vital he was to them, and I think he'd be an excellent addition. He's a tough defender and a solid 3-point shooter. Pretty much exactly what we need.

whats ridiculous is your comments.....where are these so called mentally incapciated idiots at on this team? Signing a player of West caliber for vet minimum is far better then having a scrub like Vujabrick making $5mill/yr fouling people 30ft away from the basket

Not really. Our championship hopes don't hinge on whether or not Delonte behaves, and if he starts acting up then we can just get rid of him. IMO, this is a low risk, high reward type deal and we shouldn't hesitate on taking a chance. It's either that or we're stuck watching Vujacic getting more PT.

aren't you forgetting something like re-signing Shannon Brown.
