Delonte West's tenure with the Dallas Mavericks appears to be over, according to a source.

West was suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team, his second suspension in two weeks.

West said he was being blamed for an argument between teammates after the Mavs' 88-76 exhibition loss to the Thunder.

"There was an argument between two teammates in the locker room last night that didn't involve me," said West, who had two points, one assist and three turnovers in 21 minutes against the Thunder. "Somehow I'm being blamed for it. I had nothing to do with it. I don't know what's going on."

The Mavericks' front office is concerned about West's influence on young players on the roster, according to a source.

West and the Mavericks could agree to a buyout that would leave him free to sign with another team.

That guy needs to spend more time taking his meds than he does on fresh ink.

Like, its not his fault that his teammates mothers are only 30!

I guess it really wasn't Delonte's fault, like that one time he didn't give out that wet willie.

Bye bye West.

DALLAS (AP) -- The Dallas Mavericks are moving on without guard Delonte West, and their starting center for Tuesday night's season opener on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers will likely be someone who wasn't even on the roster a week ago.

The Mavericks waived West on Monday, the eve of a second straight season with a major roster makeover. West was part of the first retooling a year ago, and figured to be a valuable role player again before two suspensions in as many weeks for conduct detrimental to the team.
