Welcome to the Cleveland Circus!

Another CircusWow, is anyone starting to look forward to watching what happens with Cleveland this year? I don’t mean on the court, although that will probably be entertaining, too, but they are starting to look like the Golden State Warriors of the East. No, don’t worry, no one has demanded a trade, but in terms of shear off court entertainment, Cleveland is far and away becoming a circus. That would happen just with Shaq, who, as he gets older, slips more and more into dementia as he says more and more ridiculous things and can’t seem to act his age. I mean, Phoenix basically gave him away for nothing because the veterans (shouldn’t he be counted as one) grew tired of his act. It was fine when he was winning Championships, but when he doesn’t even help you make the playoffs, then what’s the point.

Obviously LeBron’s free agency situation is going to hang over the city until next summer. Nothing’s going to change that. Is there an over/under on how many times he’s going to be asked the same question about free agency? In every single city? How long before he snaps at someone (I would) for asking a question they know they won’t get answered?

Delonte West, not at his bestOf course, now Delonte West is making some noise in this department. First, this summer, he’s pulled over for having SEVERAL loaded concealed weapons while driving his motorcycle (why on earth do you travel with more than one loaded gun??  Why would you need even one?), then he doesn’t show up for the first day of training camp. And it’s an unexcused absence.

Is this really how you want to start the march towards what is supposed to be LeBron and the Cavs first Championship in what is possibly the most important season in Cleveland history?

Now, I like West’s game, although I would like it a WHOLE lot better coming off the bench, but do me a favour and check out West’s past a little bit. Apparently he’s been mentoring Michael Beasley. And he’s supposedly on medication to control his mood swings.

Check out this quote I found from West about what a romantic night would involve…

“One more thing: When we’re on the yacht eating, we’re going to have some Popeyes chicken. That’s for dinner. It’s to let her know, put a mental image on her mind, first and foremost, if you ain’t from the hood, you don’t like Popeyes chicken. Everyone there loves Popeyes chicken and the biscuits — phew. But that’s just getting it on her mind, saying, you know, ‘Yeah, I can wine and dine you, but I’m a little rough around the edges and I’m keeping it real with you. I can be romantic, but this is real, we’re going to eat some chicken tonight. Chicken and biscuits.”

So the guy is on a YACHT, keeping it real. I guess he’s been taking lessons from Allen Iverson.

This is going to be fun…
