The guy brings nothing to the table that Diaw already didn't besides acting tough & committing dumb fouls.
He makes the Finley acquisition seem like deal of the century but all the media talk about is how he opt-ed out of his deal when he would have been stealing money from the Pacers like Roy Hibbert.
At this point, is he even better than Luis Scola? (He was getting benched for Scola last season): http://www.indycornrows.com/2015/2/16/8046543/there-is-value-in-david-west-being-there-for-the-pacers
0.41: West's Real Plus Minus (RPM) defined by ESPN.com as a "player's estimated on-court impact on team performance, measured in net point differential per 100 offensive and defensive possessions. RPM takes into account teammates, opponents and additional factors" is ranked lower than both Lavoy Allen's (2.77) and Luis Scola's (1.23).2011 McDyess was better than this bum but Pop is giving him the 2008 Finley treatment.Given this caveat, what has perhaps been more disconcerting than the slide in his on-court impact have been the cracks in the professionalism of his on-court demeanor. At times,West has appeared somewhat disinterested in as well as disgruntled with the process. The very same player who once would have unleashed the wrath of his signature scowl at Paul George for making a cavalier behind the back pass in traffic has been guilty of developing his own brand of lack of mental focus this season(Dude is basically Kurt Thomas 2.0)

Unbelievable fail. And this is a serious one too, Jesus.
David West. Him taking that discount pretty much guaranteed him playing time even if he was playing worse than he is now(if that's possible)
Registration needs to open up so someone can create a PlayBoban account.
Big time fail. Signed at the vet minimum. Because of that it is an all gravy and no risk situation. He's earned his paycheck. Jefferson did not.
Better than Ayres tbh. does OP even realize we would have nothing at that position if he didn't come?
re ation of OP is shocking imo hes living proof pregnant women should not do crack tbh
Carlos Boozer wouldn't have been any worse & a LEGIT center (Cole Aldrich) was ACTUALLY available
Who was a better vet min option last summer? That's the pertinent question for an accurate cost benefit analysis of the signing. I would argue no one. But please, try and pull a rabbit out of the hat. Would love to here some examples of who we missed out on for the vet minimum.
Except we already had a backup PF in Diaw. The signing of West was redundant. Of course, hindsight is 20/20, and the thinking at the time was that it was too good to pass on, even if not needed, but I wish we would've passed on him.

West is fine for the price..I liked the addition in the off-season as a 4th big..Indiana fans hated him as a starter and rightfully so, he's a liability in that role..
The problem is that he's currently playing as the #2 big, which is as bad as it gets
Aldrich wouldn't have been a bad signing. But he is arguably only incrementally better in hindsight.
Atleast did this tbh:
-Carlos Boozer: Better rebounder & just as good a midrange shooter along w/ being just as ty a defender/rim protector/hacker
-Cole Aldrich: One of the best backup centers this season (http://www.ocregister.com/articles/a...-clippers.html)
Don't know who could've come.
But always thought the team would suffer without an additional rim protector.
Shade of Finley playing starters minutes
Dyess could actually rebound, jump & move his feet, meanwhile West is Kurt Thomas status. (West couldn't even handle washed up Z-BoThe problem is that he's currently playing as the #2 big, which is as bad as it gets
for Vet minuim, no..but It's in infuriating how he lost his jumper in the playoffs..
I'm not talking about the contract but how overrated he is as a player.for Vet minuim, no..but It's in infuriating how he lost his jumper in the playoffs..
Boozer. That's the only other name you can come up with. Thats weak. Dude has never played any defense. Plus he reneged on a handshake deal with a blind man. F that clown.
He's effectively playing the role of a starter, even though he's coming off the bench. If popovich plans on relying on him, might as well end it here because both the warriors and the Cavs will demolish him
Two bums on the Lakers that are better than West/Patty: Boozer/Lin
No need for a vet min 3rd PF to take up big man minutes. If we're going to play a 4th big it should be Boban seeing as with the loss of Splitter and Tim being pretty much finished(due to age, injury, or what have you), we're light at C.West is fine for the price..I liked the addition in the off-season as a 4th big..Indiana fans hated him as a starter and rightfully so, he's a liability in that role..

I agree, it is dire, but he shouldn't be expected to be doing this much.. Imagine an older/shorter Mo Speights without his recently developed 3pt shot and a broken jumper closing 4th Qs for the WarriorsI'm not talking about the contract buthow overrated he is as a player.
comparaison is quite weird tbh... had been recruited with a big paycheck to be a starter West came for the vet to play off the bench spot minutes... For the price and the role West acquisition is not overrated at all.
he is doing ok comparing to expectations. Dude is 35 y/o it is not on him Pop is playing him too much. BTW his stats so far are pretty similar per 36 / advanced than his career
