David West, the New Orleans Hornets' unrestricted free agent power forward, has received interest from teams expected to be suitors as well as a couple of surprises, according to SI.com's Sam Amick.
The Indiana Pacers, long considered to be a top suitor for West, reached out to the former All-Star, as did the Hornets, reports Amick. But the Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards also expressed interest as the NBA allowed teams to begin communication with agents and players ahead of the scheduled December 9 start of free agency.
West missed the end of the 2010-11 season and playoff after tearing his ACL late in the season. He's been primarily a skill player instead of an athletic power, but how his knee responds will be a big factor in how productive he is heading through his 30s.
Other top power forwards available include Carl Landry, Kris Humphries and Andrei Kirilenko.
