Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West has signed a multi-year contract with the team, Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry announced today. Per team and league policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Now all they need is a big man.

bout damn time

I wonder how much they paid and for how long.

Smart signing. West can be relied on for point duties and plays defense, the two things you need when you take a risk on Williams.

where is that cavs moron now that believed the barbosa west trade was a done deal lol

He should get some time at both the 1/2 spots. He played shooting guard at St. Joe with Jameer Nelson, so he has some experience there. I'm glad we got him back. He's a nice outside shooter, has good ball handling skills, and is young and still has room to get even better.

very nice

I love this move for the Cavs. NOw they just have to find a big that can score. I know its a risk but right now if I was the GM I'd take a flyer on Z Bo. Maybe see if you can get the Knicks to give him up for trash (ie not Wally his expirer is too valuable, maybe something like Eric Snow's expirer and Sasha Pavlovic).

West's options must have been dwindling. The Cavs got him a fair price
and didn't over pay. Any details?

No thanks. An overweight, overpaid dude who cares more about McDonalds than a ring isn't the key to a championship.

Go big or go home, especially when the time is coming for Bron to decide if he wants to stay in Cleveland or leave. If I was the GM I'd say the risk is worth it if they can keep Varjeo (a perfect compliment for Z Bo to play the 5 beside him), Hickson, and Wally's expiring deal. That way you still have the flexibiliy to try to make another deal to complete the team while having the talent on paper at least to win a title.

And If Randolph doesn't fit in Cleveland, who cares just cut you're losses and buy him out. At least it shows LeBron you're trying.

The guy can't handle being a leader but i could see him working under someones shadow. I doubt that he'd go crazy and pull stupid **** off knowing that someone would get on him. Losing does that to you and he has always been in a position where people expected him to lead.

They could get him for trash, wallace or snow/pavlovic would get it done.

Delonte is a great locker room guy to have. Nice move by the Cavs. They're deep at the 1. I think they still need to find a scorer off the bench

[lakerfreak]

didnt they trade for maurice williams?

who will start for them at the PG?

[kwajo]

Why did he resign? He would have made much more money if he had chosen to re-sign!

[pete's montreux]

I'd start Delonte at the 2, and have Wally come off the bench. Wally can't play long minutes anymore.
