The agent for combo guard Delonte West said he believes his client's No. 1 goal is to be back with the Boston Celtics next season, but admitted the lockout adds a bit of uncertainty about West's future.
"Delonte was drafted by Boston and he has a special place for Boston because of that," said his agent Jarinn Akana of Lagardere Unlimited. "He spent some good years there, then came back last year and was able to play, but had injuries here and there. He did contribute, but he wanted to contribute more and help Boston advance further. Of course he'd like to be back, I think that's his No. 1 goal to be back and help Boston win another championship."
Delonte is a very talented player and I'd love to see him back with the C's. When healthy he makes a perfect 3rd guard. While Delonte isn't the type of guy to give you 82 games, last year's 24 games played was an aberration. West has played in at least 60 games every season prior to that, with the sole exception of his rookie season. If you click the above link and read the entire article, it sounds like West will explore overseas offers and more lucrative offers from other NBA teams, but he'd definitely be willing to give Boston a hometown discount.
