JULY 6: The Warriors have officially re-signed West, according to RealGM’s transactions log.
JULY 1: Veteran big man David West has agreed to return to the Warriors on a one-year contract, according to David Aldridge of TNT (via Twitter). Aldridge reports that the 2017/18 season will be West’s last year in the NBA.
The details of West’s deal aren’t yet known, but a minimum salary contract seems likely. West’s minimum salary for 2017/18 is $2,328,652 but the Warriors would only need to pay $1,471,382, as outlined in Hoops Rumors’ minimum salaries chart for next season.
West, 38, sought an NBA championship the last two seasons; he was unsuccessful in his lone season with the Spurs but finally captured the once elusive gold as a member of this season’s Warriors team. In 68 games off Golden State’s bench, West averaged 4.6 PPG and 3.0 RPG while playing just under 13 minutes per game.
Once a perennial 20 PPG threat with the Hornets and a solid contributor with the Pacers, West has embraced his role as a veteran leader and it paid dividends last season. He will give it one more try for another ring next season before calling it a career after what would be 15 NBA seasons.
Good career d west. Try to win one more is smart, especially on the Warriors.
We’ll he finally won a ring and that’s what he wanted
this is when you ring chase, after 30 and you’re actually respected. Take notes KD
EAD Hater

KD won an MVP so pretty sure he already was respected
was is the key word there, he lost that taking the cowards way to a ring
blah blah blah. your constant ranting is revealing an unhealthy fixation. people make life decisions – you should realize that your anonymous, cowardly, internet vote is not counted.
Seriously, he’s calling people out for being “butthurt”, but it sounds like he’s the one that took KD’s decision personally…and is the one who is actually butt hurt
