The Celtics acquired Delonte West who played his first three years with the Celtics and could make a good back up to Rondo. Over his career he has averaged a respectable 10 ppg and 3.7 assists per game but brings a "past" with him. West, Lafayette and Tony Gaffney will be looking to secure the 15th spot with the Celtics. Things should start to get interesting in practice and during the pre-season!
