David West is a veteran power forward who could be the missing piece for a good team. With the emergence of John Wall and Bradley Beal, the Wizards have put themselves in position to be viewed as real contenders by free agents. West has a few options on the table and the Wizards are making a strong push to land the West’s services.
ESPN sources say Wizards pushing hard to land David West. Would be nice rally to get both Jared Dudley and D-West after losing Paul Pierce

It’s been reported that West is seeking a title and is only considering playing for a playoff caliber team. The San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors were listed as other potential landing spots but playing in the east might give West the best chance to compete for a title. It appears that whatever team is led by Lebron James is the only road block in the east.
