Surprised to hear he is opting out. Was it definitely him who opted out or did the team not pick up his option? I imagine he would be making decent money at the end of his deal that was probably signed years ago. Cant imagine he will make more with a new deal at this age, but again I dont know what the numbers were. Love D-West, hope he goes to a team with a chance to win, and if not then hope he goes to the Knicks!

It was his option. He declined to exercise it. Pacers aren't exactly all broken up about it with an effort to retool the roster this summer but it is completely accepted in Indy that David was the bedrock of the team. West and Hibbert would both be gone after next year anyway. As mentioned - they want to run.

I wouldn't rule Charlotte out either if he wants to return home.

If he's thinking Charlotte, he should just go ahead and retire. DC is almost as close to home as Charlotte. Maybe the Bullets would be interested?

My guess would be the Clippers. They have no frontcourt depth behind Blake/DeAndre. Can play 20 minutes off of the bench, content for a title and reunite with CP3.

Yeah I was thinking this too. CP3 wanted West to come to LA last time he was a free agent. Originally Posted by mistabeecee41

The Clippers will never play for a title with Blake (all flash no substance) Griffin @ center, and Doc Rivers as coach. Originally Posted by mistabeecee41

Why can't Doc get them a title? He won a title in Boston.

Because he's also serving as GM, and he's made some questionable personnel choices as GM. Originally Posted by GoMuskies
