Linked And Loaded – Thursday – 10/1

Delonte West is having issues.  First he gets caught with an armada then he goes AWOL at the Cleveland Cavaliers team media day.  If LeBron wants to lead and Shaq wants to help, they need to extend the olive branch to Mr. West who struggles from depression and anxiety.  This team is better served with him than without him.
