The Cleveland Cavaliers are reigning NBA Champions and will be looking to repeat as champions. First they need to get through the NBA’s free agency period by adding veterans, and David West is a logical fit.
West, 35, signed with the San Antonio Spurs prior to the 2015-16 NBA season in search for a NBA Championship. However, the Spurs were eliminated in the Western Conference Playoffs by a red-hot Oklahoma City Thunder team.
West left the Central Division-rival Indiana Pacers in pursuit of a championship. He opted out of a $12 million player option with the Pacers to sign a veteran-minimum $1.
