A day after after Kevin Durant made his decision on joining the Golden State Warriors, West was quick to follow. After declining a $12.6 million with the Indiana Pacers to sign with San Antonio, West saw his role greatly reduced while pursuing Championship glory, only to be bounced in the second round against the Oklahoma City.
West averaged a career 14.8 points and 6.9 rebounds. West played in 78 games with 19 starts during the 2015-16 season. He averaged 7.1 points and 4.0 rebounds on 54.4 percent shooting as a key cog on a San Antonio bench that produced an NBA-best plus-10.
