The one thing comes to mind when you put David West into the conversation is veteran leadership.
West is a well-traveled player that has been in the league since 2003. His ultimate goal of becoming an NBA champion has not been achieved, and sadly it may not happen.
He is 35 and is in decline mode, while he has shown he is willing to take less to win, his value may not be worth the roster spot for a contending team.
Last offseason the Nuggets brought in Mike Miller to be a player-coach for the youngsters. The results were beneficial in the eyes of the players, franchise, and the fans.
With Miller no longer under contract, the Nuggets are in search of another veteran leader, and West could be the guy if he’s willing to sign with a young team.
Singing with a team in development has its pros and cons, but the hope this team possesses could land the veteran forward in Denver.
