West and the Cavaliers Predicament
Delonte West, having missed a couple days of training camp is back, albeit with unexcused absences. West belongs to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and according to coach, Mike Brown, after having West back, he had a good practice with the team.
Currently facing issues that might affect his career, he declined meeting the press, together with general manager Danny Ferry.
The team’s Mr. Ferry will be addressing this current issue West is facing on Saturday, at the team’s practice at the University of Akron.
This current issue pertains to the time he was caught in Maryland. West was asked to pull over by the traffic police of Maryland because of a traffic violation. He, then, pulled over his three-wheeled motorcycle and upon checking, was found out that he was carrying loaded weapons. That is right! Not only one, but three loaded weapons. A couple of loaded handguns, and one loaded shotgun. These items were placed in a guitar case.
Currently facing charges of gun possessions, possible consequence that West could receive as outcome could be a league suspension.
O’Neil feels that West is quite important to the team, and according to him, they will be supporting and backing him up. He believes that not only is he vital to the team, but is a fabulous player as well.
West’s statistics has him having eleven point seven points during the regular season last year, and is considered one of the second most important players in the playoffs after LeBron James.
Post season has West playing forty two minutes, and having an average of thirteen point eight points, four assists and three point five rebounds, in all fourteen games.
Now you can see why O’Neil is ensuring that the public and team officials be fair in coming up with a decision over West’s current dilemma, and hopefully, be able to have him play in the coming season.
