Delonte West To Get Released??

Delonte West has yet to play in a game due to suspension, but that doesn't mean he isn't causing trouble on the court.  According to HoopsWorld, the Boston Celtics are considering dumping West after repeated confrontations between West and reserve G Von Wafer:

During a three-on-three game with Avery Bradley, Luke Harangody, Semih Erden and assistant coach Tyronn Lue, West began fouling Wafer each time the reserve guard touched the ball. West was increasingly physical to the point that Wafer exited to the locker room midway through the game. As he walked away, West barked obscenities and taunted Wafer.

After Wafer had showered and sat down at his locker, West approached from behind and threw a punch. Wafer didn't see the punch coming but quickly got off of the ground and connected on two punches of his own. He then wrestled West to the ground before being separated by the team's veterans.

West was a favorite of mine in Cleveland, but the constant weight his 'issues' put on a locker room were too much in Cleveland - and might be in Boston as well.
