The troubled Delonte West will sign a non-guaranteed contract with the Boston Celtics, according to the Boston Herald. West was originally drafted by the Celtics and played 3 seasons there before being dealt to the then Seattle Supersonics in the Ray Allen deal. He has spent the last 3 seasons playing alongside LeBron James in Cleveland's failed championship runs.In Boston, West will come off the bench and compete for minutes with Nate Robinson, rookie Avery Bradley, and Von Wafer. With a non-guaranteed contract, West will be on his best behavior. His checkered past has been well documented -- during the playoffs, there were unconfirmed rumors that he was sleeping with LeBron James' mom, and in September of last year he was pulled over while driving a three wheeled motorcycle and was found to be carrying a pistol, .357 Magnum, and Remington shotgun in a guitar case (I would love to see the cop cam of this). You can also find a video of him stoned in a KFC drive thru free styling ("Raspberry what what? Ice tea!!").
However, all of these incidents didn't scare off the Celtics. With Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Doc Rivers running a tight ship in the locker room, any distractions with Delonte will not be tolerated.
