Delonte West To Sign With Mavericks, According To Report
A career 37 percent three-point shooter, West has experience both starting and coming off of the bench. In Dallas, it appears that along with fellow new arrival Vince Carter he'll replace J.J. Barea, DeShawn Stevenson and Caron Butler. Barea signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, Stevenson remains a free agent and Butler has signed with the L.A. Clippers. The Mavericks also acquired Rudy Fernandez in June, but is said to be looking to move his contract to free up cap space.
West was ranked as the No. 36 free agent in SBNation.com’s 2011 rankings.
