Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West arrested on weapons charges

[QUOTE=Mikaiel][IMG]http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID20681/images/KayneWest.jpg[/IMG]

Yo Delonte, Im really happy for you, I'll let you finish, but Plaxico Burress had one of the best weapons charge arrests of all time[/QUOTE]
Hahhahahahaha, that was placed perfectly... props for a Cav fan doing it too. I LOLed.

I find this sort of ironic since all of the Cavs fans were claiming Delonte was going to shut down Vince Carter, but considering that he's going to get some jailtime, who's going to guard Vince Carter now? Does this not put the Magic over the Cavs in a 7 game series?

i can understand the two handguns, but a shotgun on a motorcycle? :oldlol:

come on Delonte, you're better than that. if two hands were enough to murder Vincanity two handhelds and a shotty is more than enough to do the same to Gilbo (Washington DC) :confusedshrug:

What's your original account @$$hole?

Rasteroids Lewis is also suspended for 10 games.

[QUOTE=Lebron23]What's your original account @$$hole?

Rasteroids? Wow, you are a terrible poster.

I wouldn't be surprised if Delonte killed himself. He does have depression.

Does anyone know how strict Maryland is when it comes to guns ?

if he is living in pg county, choosing to the live there... he better have some guns at his disposal. one, registered gun.

but as everyone is saying, this is just a ridiculous situation. he had probably just got done watching desperado and wanted to be a bad ass like banderas. the guitar case shotgun, that is some next level gun toting.

i can picture him on 95, howling at the moon lighting up the skyline. what an idiot.

Well,

Rashard is a proven steroids user.

You are a terrible human being.

Rashard gets 10 games, but Delonte will get at least 1-2 years like Plaxico Burress or TI.

:roll: So inappropriate, yet so hilarious.

But seriously this sucks, He was gonna have a big year, is it possible for him to not get jail time? His guns didn't go off like Plaxico's did.

[QUOTE=MegaTron]Rasteroids? Wow, you are a terrible poster.

he's not in depression anymore

Hopefully he can figure his life out, it's fairly obvious that he has some issues he needs to deal with beyond "stupidity". You guys don't know why he was doing what he was doing, it would definitely appear much deeper than a low IQ. If he is depressed than this is a bad situation and I hope he gets the help he needs.

i love delonte west as a player. however, i hate the cavs. hopefully david stern suspends him the entire season. he can screw his head on straight and demand a trade to the wizards so he can stay close to home and work on finding his "center".

maybe the cavs should swing delonte and hickson for stevenson and blatche. everyone wins. stevenson and lebron can put the past behind them and win a title.

Stephen Jackson fired his gun outside the Indianapolis strip club, and the league suspended him for 30 games.

[QUOTE=1~Gibson~1]he's not in depression anymore[/QUOTE]

lol :roll: :roll: :roll:

that is the most stupid comment ever. haha. like depression is a location or some shti. it just doesn't disappear. :hammerhead: :hammerhead: :hammerhead:

maybe he should double up on the prozac, add some abilify, chase it with some omega 3 fatty acid and snort some zoloft. :confusedshrug:

I rather see the Cavs sign Gerald Green.

[QUOTE]On October 6, 2006, there were police reports that Jackson and three other Pacers players were involved in an argument with several patrons at Club Rio, a strip club in Indianapolis. Jackson was punched by one of the patrons and was hit by a car, rolling onto the hood. His injuries were considered minor. [B]Jackson says he fired several gunshots from a 9-mm pistol as an act of self-defense.

Anthony Parker is a great defender and so is Danny Green

maybe he thought of himself as some movie star, or better yet - filming some badass action movie? Police should have checked other vehicles, maybe cameras were rolling and shooting..:D :D :D

[QUOTE=Darius]:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I'm sorry but this is the most badass thing I've ever heard of.

A THREE-WHEELED motorcycle, a gun in the WAISTBAND, a gun strapped to his LEG, and a SHOTGUN IN A GUITAR CASE??

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:[/QUOTE]
This actually sums up my feelings quite nicely.

This would have been a 82 game suspension if it was a Nuggets player (Melo getting 15 games for the NY punch while everyone else gets 1 game if they punch someone), but Delonte is gonna get 7 or something.

delonte west needs to be in washington. he needs to be near his family in the home he grew up in. he needs to be close to his high school friends and cohorts. he needs a safe place.

maybe they can outpatient him at johns hopkins, he can get some electro shock therapy and be at the verizon center by noon for team practice followed by individual workouts during the season. georgetown is like 5 minutes from the verizon center, they have some of the best neurological and mental health specialists in the country.

face it cavs fans, he is damaged goods. you might as well wash your hands of him and go all in with boobie. cut your losses. might as well send delonte to washington where he can be nurtured and cared for. maybe one day he will be able to recuperate and be a viable member of society.

we welcome west with open arms in washington. west for a second round pick sounds about right. it is the best scenario for all parties involved.

Got this off a lawfirm website in Maryland:

"Gun charges are taken extremely seriously since Maryland firearms laws are very strict. Carrying a handgun is a crime that will get you mandatory jail time if you are found guilty.

Carrying a handgun in Maryland without a permit to carry is punishable by a minimum of 30 days in jail, and up to 3 years. (See my MD Handgun possession penalties chart below.) Even if you have a permit in another state, it is not considered valid in Maryland. "

Handgun Charge
Penalty

[B]Handgun—Unlawful wearing, carrying, 1st weapon offense
Maximum—3 years; Minimum—30 days [/B]

[B]Handgun—Unlawful wearing, carrying, 2nd weapon offense
Maximum—10 years; Minimum—1 year [/B]

[B]Handgun—Unlawful wearing, carrying, more than 2 weapon offenses
Maximum—10 years; Minimum—3 years [/B]

Delonte possessed 2 hand guns and 1 shotgun.

If he's lucky, they count it as a single offense and he would fall in the first category.

Considering each handgun counts as a separate weapon count, independently of one another, he's going to fall in the second category for the 2 handguns and not counting the shot gun.

If they do count the shotgun, he falls in the third category.

[QUOTE=MegaTron]Melo got 15 games for sucker punching a Knick and running away. He should have gotten more.[/QUOTE]

keep telling yourself that.

Kobe should have been suspended for elbowing artest and elbowing&kneeing battier when he was lying on the ground...

West for Dominic McGuire.

That's a fair trade.

Kobe is protected just like any of the top Superstars in the NBA.

It's a great day to be a Laker troll :ohwell:

I've seen a couple in this thread already :lol

[QUOTE=MegaTron]Well when you say someone no longer has depression, you deserve to be called out.[/QUOTE]
what does that have to do with laker trolls trolling?

trying to prove somebody wrong isnt trolling. trolling is trolling.

[QUOTE][B]He has been charged with two counts of gun possession and several traffic citations, although those charges could be amended, Copeland said. According to Maryland criminal law, having an unlicensed handgun can carry a fine of $2,500 and/or up to three years in prison.[/B]

"We are aware of the situation and take this matter very seriously," Cavs general manager Danny Ferry said in a statement. "We have been in communication with Delonte and his family. We are gathering more information and will not have further comment until the appropriate time."

West's agents did not immediately return a message to The Plain Dealer.

West has said he suffers from bipolar disorder and has been open with his battle with mood swings and depression. Last season he left the Cavs for several weeks during training camp to get treatment for depression and was on medication at the time.

Copeland said West cooperated with police and did not require or receive any medical attention. He has been released on his own recognizance and has a court date set for Nov. 26.

[B]It was not yet clear if West would be cleared to travel to Cleveland when the Cavs open training camp on Sept. 28[/B][/QUOTE]

As someone who lives in the area I feel it is only fair that I point out the area that West was reported arrested in has an extremely popular gun range not too far away. It is entirely possible that West was coming from Maryland Small Arms, hopped on 95, and got hemmed up.

[QUOTE=Lebron23]West for Dominic McGuire.

you know, maybe. if west will be serving some time, i would like to see how dominic improves over that time, but i think that is not that bad of a trade.

we all know delonte is good. but he has issues. dominic has been squeaky clean and a nice rotation player, he is just behind two great forwards.

bring delonte back to dc!!!!!!!!

good point, he'll have the lawyers to break it all down for him. but regardless, cleveland, wash your hands. wash them now. send him to the wiz.

Unless you're an American citizen who has the RIGHT to keep and bear arms as per the second f*cking amendment, you f*cking worthless, piece of sh*t Nazi homo.

I hope you live overseas, otherwise I'd pick you up and chuck you into the f*cking Atlantic. Get the f*ck outta my country you lazy communist.

NOW, he deserves whatever he gets if he's violated that states gun laws.

[QUOTE=1~Gibson~1]why? whats the point?[/QUOTE]

the point that he was not in depression anymore. :lol

king said he may have been coming from a popular shooting range, off 95. regardless, if the guns weren't registered.. :cry:
