Has just been waived by Dallas. Is the Chicago handgun ban too large of a barrier to get him to the Bulls? The Bulls could use another PG, especially if Kurt is still ouchy.

Does he join up with Lebron down in South Beach? Where is he headed?

I don't know how much, if any, interest the Bulls might have in Delonte West. HC Tom Thibodeau wouldn't tolerate West's B.S. that got him waived in Dallas. Even though he was waived last week, the Bulls might re-sign Marko Jaric by the end of this month.

Delonte West tweets 'resume'

Former Dallas Mavericks guard Delonte West wants a new job. And he's posted a resume of sorts on Twitter in hopes of getting one.

West, who was suspended indefinitely and then waived by Dallas earlier this week, used Twitter on Wednesday to list his experience and abilities, noting that he would play for a non-guaranteed, league-minimum deal because, as he tweeted, "by the time I get there u see what I'm about&what I bring everyday."

West, clearly having fun with his job search, tweeted that he's not "comin to yr team riddin a motorcycle," referencing the reason he was suspended for the first 10 games of the 2010-11 season -- for pleading guilty to weapons charges in Maryland. According to authorities, West was carrying three loaded guns and a knife on his motorcycle when he was stopped for speeding in 2009.

West, 29, was waived by the Mavs prior to their season-opening win against the Los Angeles Lakers because the team was concerned that he wasn't having a good influence on the younger players on the roster, sources told ESPNDallas.com's Tim MacMahon. The roster move allowed Dallas to make room for center Eddy Curry.

West signed a one-year deal with Dallas for the veteran minimum ($1.2 million) after averaging 9.6 points and 3.2 assists as a role player last season. He also provided solid defense and gave the club some good energy playing either guard spot.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said it was "in the best interest of the organization" to waive West and that it was based on numerous factors. Cuban didn't want to get into specifics.

"I like Delonte a lot," he said prior to Tuesday's win over the Lakers. "It was a difficult decision and we'll leave it at that.

"You always have to remember, the culture of the organization comes first. If you lose the culture and it goes in the wrong direction, than you've lost your team. We've had years like that where we've lost certain guys or I wasn't diligent on certain guys and it's hurt the team in a big way."

West, though, still wants to play basketball, if his Twitter pleas are any indication. He says he's a "High Q player/person ..low cost...great influence on young P" and adds, "Only ask for communication about when checks come up missin or short...other than that...let's win some games and have fun while we doin it!"

West admits in a later tweet that this is "my resamay." :lol: :lol:

"Coach&?, let's go&take me a day or two to figure offense and a few mins to figure out defense...!!"

If Marco Belinelli gets off to a bad start here, Delonte West could actually be in the Bulls' cards later this month. West actually played for...wait for it...Bulls' HC Tom Thibodeau when Thibs was an assistant.

Doesn't mean Thibs liked him.

If Cuban says you didn't fit with a team, you might be fucked.

Not only that, but that Eddy Curry is a better fit. Double insult.
