Everyone Can Relax. We’ve Found Mario West.

Posted by on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 0 Comments

The Maine Red Claws, presented by Quirk Chevrolet, today announced that the team has acquired Mario West. To make room on the roster, the team waived Stanley Thomas. The announcement was made by Red Claws President and General Manager Jon Jennings.

West, 25, appeared in 117 regular season games with the Atlanta Hawks over the last two seasons. He saw action in five preseason contests with the Hawks this season, putting in 2.2 ppg, 3.0 rpg and 1.0 spg. He was waived by Atlanta on October 22. West signed an NBA D-League contract and was claimed by the Red Claws.

NBA Development League: Transactions – West.

I keep thinking about the Hawks and their evolution over the last few years, and West was one of those players that I couldn’t remember the name of and was like “who’s that guy I’m missing?” Now I remember. And now he’s a Red Claw.

Blalock, Gilder, Ajinca, Walker and West. That’s a pretty solid 3rd string in the NBA. Getcha popcorn ready!
