Oh Delonte

[MattUM2]

really.

Although he's made over $14 million in the NBA, Delonte West tweeted recently that he is "broke" and has applied for a job at Home Depot.


"It's official.. Pride 2 the side.. just filled out a application at Home Depot.. Lockout aint a game," the Celtics guard tweeted.

West is on probation for a weapons charge and also tweeted that he wasn't allowed to pursue basketball opportunities overseas.

"Can't even get that over seas money," he tweeted. "Judge said it's a no go on leaving the country."

West has battled bipolar disorder during his career and also posted this to Twitter: "Broke down in the ATM line.. 25 cars behind me and I already reached my daily limit... I'm broke n my cars broke.. Where's my therapist???"

Appearing in only 24 games this past season, the 27-year-old West averaged 5.6 points in his second stint with the Celtics.

Re: Oh Delonte

Still the blame is on him

He said he couldn't get cash because he reached his daily limit. That means, not only does he have enough money to actually reach a limit, but he had already taken out so much money that day that he couldn't get more... and he was trying.

I felt bad at first, because I can see this happening to players on his level that just don't manage their money well. But he just seems like an idiot... taking out thousands of dollars, going back for more and the bank tries to protect him from himself and he cries broke?

At least he'll get a discount on all the bricks he put up last year.

I was going to say they should put him to work laying bricks...he's pretty good at that.

Re: Oh Delonte

Didn't Ron Artest do the same thing when he tried to work at Circuit City in the off season when he was a rookie? It was something like he wanted the discount so he could hook up his new apartment with brand new electronics. Much different from Delonte's reasons though. Sad sad sad.
