Not a bad move .... added depth because Marquis Daniels flamed out. If dude can keep his head on straight, he can definitely contribute.The Boston Celtics are set to sign free-agent guard Delonte West, president of basketball operations Danny Ainge confirmed to ESPNBoston.com.
West, selected 24th overall by Boston in the 2004 NBA Draft, spent three seasons with the Celtics before being dealt to Seattle in the draft-day package that brought Ray Allen to Boston (along with the draft rights to Glen Davis).
West didn't last a season in Seattle before being flipped to Cleveland in a three-way trade. He has spent the last two-plus seasons -- seasons marred by off-the-court troubles -- with the Cavaliers, saving his finest efforts in the 2008-09 postseason before losing his starting job last season. Cleveland traded West to the Minnesota Timberwolves last month and he was waived soon after.
West is likely to garner the veteran minimum, which for a sixth-year player is little more than $1 million. If it's a one-year deal, the league will pay a portion of that salary, so Boston will only be on the hook for the salary of a two-year veteran, which is $854,000.
Should he make the opening day roster, West will be ineligible for the first 10 games of the season after being suspended by the league following a guilty plea on weapons charges in the state of Maryland.
For his career, West has averaged 10 points, 3.7 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-4 guard should add depth at the shooting guard position, joining Von Wafer as the top reserves behind Ray Allen.
Ainge, coach Doc Rivers, and even captain Paul Pierce were not bashful in noting the team desired another shooter. West is a 44.6 percent shooter overall for his career and, while his 3-point shooting is average at best, he has a nice mid-range game that should fit well off the Boston bench.
Rumors swirled this week that West was in the Boston area. The Boston Herald reported Wednesday in its "Inside Track" gossip column that West was spotted apartment hunting in Waltham (site of Boston's practice facility). The Herald first reported West's signing
Who will Gloria choose?

when i read about this on realgm i was thinking celts signed delonte on purpose to get into brons head if and when they meet up in the playoffs.
Ok who's mommy is Delonte Bait on the Celts
Ray Allen better lock up his mom.... she's at every game
A potential Miami/Boston playoff series just got that much better.
The downside is Delonte mom jokes will be even more overused for the foreseeable future.
Delonte is the only one that can legitimately ask: " Tell me how my ass taste". I mean every time Gloria goes in to Kiss Lebron for a job well done...Delonte should send him a text message... But the C's will beat the Heat...However, they will fall short against LA because no DEFENSE...Tony Allen played Kobe great ( minus the hacks) they no longer have that luxury...and I'll take Rasheed over Shaq and Jermaine any day...Sheed's energy, output and intensity was pretty much equal to theirs combined...
congratulations Celtics 2010-11 champions
lol
If the Celtics are healthy at the start of the 2011 playoffs, they are gonna be a handful for Miami, Orlando and even Chicago.
Hahaha... even Chicago.
The music for that clip makes that video.
lol no , you beat me to it.
the way delonte falls on his ass and that high pitched music plays in the background, its more comical than "badass".
Dude was pretty good when he was in Boston....
