Report: David West ‘Very Likely’ to Sign with Knicks

During the 1990s, the New York Knicks built a perennial contender by placing an emphasis on tough and rugged defense. Patrick Ewing set the tone as the ferocious superstar, but New York built its identity through players such as Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley.

Phil Jackson has built more of a finesse team thus far, but the Knicks are mere days away from signing a respected veteran who identifies far more with a 1990s style of play.

According to Jared Zwerling of Bleacher Report, former Indiana Pacers power forward David West is very likely to sign with the Knicks.
