What are the consequences for Delonte West?
The News-Herald follows up on the Delonte West shotgun-in-a-guitar-case story.
Timberwolves guard Sebastian Telfair was suspended for three games for having a loaded gun in his possession.
Don’t be shocked if West is not eligible to play for several games this season. Could his possible suspension be as long as 10 games? Are you glad the Cavs signed Anthony Parker now?
He’s not a bad guy. He’s not a Pacman Jones. He’s a guy who has issues.
Ironically, West was within his rights to carry the shotgun. It’s the two handguns that have him in trouble.
I agree that West is not a bad guy. He’s odd, but likable, and he’s a key player for the Cavs. He’ll likely serve a suspension, and may serve some time.
The first thing that came to my mind when I heard about West was Antonio Banderas in “Desperado”. Has he given an explanation as to why he was packin’ on a motorcycle? A loaded shotgun in a guitar case? Are you kidding me? I think he should be suspended for 25 games minimum, on top of jail time.
He doesn’t seem like a bad guy, and after watching his KFC carpark rap he is definately quirky. The problem is Quirky + Shot guns and handguns seem very dangerous to me. But dont crucify him.
It’s fair, only he has mental illness (bipolar disorder) so you can’t compare him to Sebastian Telfair because Sebastian Telfair has nothing wrong with the chemical makeup of his brain.
