Maybe consider the implications on an obviously fragile man above your professional ambitions.
This doesn't feel like PR. Delonte has had a bunch of TMZ videos pop up over the past couple of months so I'm sure Cuban was reached for comment before ever getting in touch with him (same for his family and other friends). They probably just followed up with Cuban after the most recent video of Cubes picking Delonte up.
Further, if Delonte isn't communicating with friends and family, that group going public and letting it be know that he is cared for and that they want to help is a positive as that public message my reach Delonte and stop him from taking drastic action and/or convince him to get in touch with his support circle so that he can get the help he needs.
