Dallas is a sadder place now that Delonte West is no longer a Maverick. The man played solid D, could score some points off the bench, and was a generally entertaining presence.
Sadder still is the state of West's job search. He took to Twitter today to beg a team -- any team -- to take him.
It's not even takin a chance...I'm not comin to yr team riddin a motorcycle... High Q player/person ..low cost...great influence on young P.

That last one could use some explanation. Did the Mavs stiff Delonte? Did they accuse him of theft? We don't know. He continues:
And yea..this is my resamay...Coach....?, let's go..take me a day or two to figure offense and a few mins to figure out defense...!!
