Sources told ESPNDallas.com that West's suspension stems at least in part from an outburst in the locker room after the Mavs' 123-104 preseason win Monday over the Houston Rockets. He had 2 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound in 16 minutes during the win. ESPN.com

Delonte West has always been a colorful character, to say the least. In a way, the 8-year NBA veteran seems like a holdover from a bygone era in basketball where street culture was glorified. This is, after all, the man was was pulled over in 2009 on a three-wheeled motorcycle with a guitar case containing three guns. So it shouldn’t be surprising that Delonte West watched 30 for 30′s “Broke” defiantly, instead of nodding along at the cautionary tales of his peers. West bragged about going broke multiple times and bouncing back on Twitter. The Big Lead

The 6-3 guard has been waiting patiently since becoming a free agent on July 1. He’d stressed all along that he was hoping to stay with the Mavericks. Terms of the agreement weren’t known. West was hoping for a multiyear deal, but the Mavericks have been trying to limit all deals to one guaranteed year. Either way, West likely will earn significantly more than the veteran minimum salary ($1.1 million) he earned last season. The Mavericks had $2.5 million in cap space available to re-sign West, although it was unknown if they used all or part of that space. Dallas Morning News
