West wants to join a title contender, denies Knicks rumours

[Kevin]

Indiana Pacers forward David West denied rumors that he was considering joining the New York Knicks, according to WTHR-TV Indianapolis' Bob Kravitz. West is only interested in joining a contender, which the Knicks do not qualify as, Kravitz said. Along those same lines, however, the 34 year old told Kravitz he opted out of his contract with Indiana because he didn't think he could win a title with the Pacers, either. "At this point in my career, I just want to win," West said. While it was not the sole reason he left Indiana, Kravitz added that West was upset with the way team president Larry Bird "took shots" at teammate Roy Hibbert during the team's season-ending press conference on Apr. 17.

I hope this old man gets his wish and joins a contender. Let's go Riley. Get him.
