    Delonte West just got waived and Gilbert Arenas is a free agent I believe. I think West would be great for us. Gilbert Arenas is a eh, I am not sure if he can play well or what he is capable of but then again I think he is a great Veteran point guard who can help J-Lin a little. Plus it's not like we have anything else going great for us. Tony is ok, but I think Arenas could help this young team alot. I do not think he is a hinderous in the locker room either.

    I don't think D-West is so far fetched as you may think though. Only issue I see is the reason he was suspended because of demeaning young rookies but I am not totally sure on this.

    Delonte West has locker room fights almost everywhere he goes.. too much negativity especially on a young team

    No to West, old to Arena.

    Wrong chemistry.

    I don't think the Rockets want cancer.

    Nope, we've got too young a squad to bring in low character/ guys with red flags.

    I'm usually open to giving talented players a 2nd chance. HOWEVER, Delonte West is a nutbag and Arenas doesn't have the same heart he used too. Two players we should leave alone

    West has terrible mental health issues that would make him awful in the locker room. Also he bangs teammate's moms

    Bringing in Delonte West is like bringing in a poisonous snake to deal with a mice problem you have in your house.

    Arenas is a maybe except, as a player I don't think he brings enough to warrant the hassle.

    No way on West. Would kick the tires on Agent Zero though.

    I wouldn't mind West. Just who would we cut in order to get him? We could use
    a decent backup pg like him. As much as I don't like taking in a persona like him,
    how bad could he hurt us. He definitely can help us at the point over Douglas.

    2 known locker room problems in a room full of young impressionable youth. No.

    Delonte West was never a good fit for anyone.
