According to Bob Kravitz of WTHR, in a exclusive interview with David West, West definitively took New York off his list of possible destinations. There were conflicting reports of West “very likely” to sign with the New York Knicks, then a sources say report that West won’t sign with the Knicks. West called the rumors of him coming to New York “ridiculous”, only being open to signing with Championship contenders.
