Heat making a pitch for David West (Update: Spurs will sign him)

David West opted out of his contract with the Indiana Pacers, and now the Miami Heat are linked to interest with him.

David West decided not to opt-in to his $12+ million contract with the Indiana Pacers because he didn't think they would be contenders. West wants to spend his final years playing for a championship, something he has never done.

Although the Spurs, Cavaliers, and Wizards have had interest with him, now the Miami Heat are looking to get in the game. Dan LeBatard first reported some interest, and now Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald is confirming the Heat's part in this, although we aren't certain if David West has the same feelings.
