Can you say perfect triangle PG? Sign em up Mitch, forget the rookies for now...

Despite Delonte being bipolar, this would seem like a pretty good plan

Would be a pretty good signing if we can't sign shannon

he would be a perfect fit! get it done, it would be great to have Labrons daddy on the team :wink:

Lakers would seriously, SERIOUSLY be foolish not to explore this option at this point...

Agreed. We've said over and over again how perfect a PG he would be in the Triangle. Plays tough defense, is a big guard (6'4) for the one, and can handle the ball well. I really don't see why Mitch wouldn't take a gamble on this guy. We would be stacked at every spot basically if West signs. Look:

PG: Derek Fisher/Steve Blake/Delonte West
SG: Kobe Bryant/Shannon Brown/Sasha Vujacic
SF: Ron Artest/Matt Barnes/Devin Ebanks
PF: Pau Gasol/Lamar Odom/Matt Barnes
C: Andrew Bynum/Pau Gasol/Theo Ratliff

Plus, if Luke can't play this season, we could sign both he AND Shannon.

The roster limit is 15 players right? Then we'd be finished for the summer.

He's probably gonna be bought out, perhaps eating his contract at 3 or 2 mil. Would he sign for vet min though to make up the rest? That's the big question because he could probably go out and get even more money.

A solid 3 point shooter and better defender than both Blake and fisher, delonte would be great for the lakers, for the sole reason of getting to lebron's head in the finals

If Delonte didn't have mental issues he'd be a perfect fit for the Lakers. However the issues are bad enough to the point I wouldn't want him.

He'd go after Kobe's wife, Karl Malone all over again. :lol:

He'd be a great fit on the court, but can we even afford him at this point?

laduane1 · Post #14 » by **laduane1** » Tue Jul 27, 2010 6:11 am

I thought he was still with the cavs. Well either way, we are pretty full at point with Blake and Fisher. If we could do a sign and trade with Sasha. I would do it.

laduane1 · Post #15 » by **laduane1** » Tue Jul 27, 2010 6:14 am

Oh I see he got traded. LOL. Man that Twolves love getting point guards. Got to read all the new stories before I post again...LOL

do we need every mentally incapacitated idiot who comes through FA ? We have enough ridiculous contracts on the roster

Delonte for minimum ? HELL YEA ! :nod:

He would only make our bench deeper.

West pleaded guilty in Maryland earlier this month to weapons charges. He was sentenced to eight months of home detention with electronic monitoring, two years of unsupervised probation, 40 hours of community service and psychological counseling.

Prosecutors said that the sentence would allow West to attend practices and travel to NBA games as his team's schedule requires, but NBA officials are reviewing the case for possible further discipline.
