I think he is the best scoring/defensive replacement available right now.

Who cares. If they can't be in the playoffs, then there's no point.

Delonte can play in the plyoffs actually. He was waived before March

Any player waived before March 1st is eligible for the playoffs I believe. I believe any player that hasn't suited up for an NBA team this year are also eligible-guys like McGrady, Arenas, etc...

I don't understand the panic.........it's senseless to even think the Lakers are going to pick up anyone. It's not happen'in period. We're going to battle with what we have.....let's deal with it.

I love how people want to just grab random players and throw them into the lineup with no thought of them not knowing the system or players. Chemistry because of injuries has hurt this team all year and now they should add another guy out of nowhere? Dude hasn't played all year... he isnt in shape to help the team in the next two games (or even playoffs).
