"The Indiana Pacers' patience during the first part of the free-agency period has paid off.

David West, the Pacers' likely starting power forward, agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal Sunday afternoon.

"David looks at the Pacers as a good young team with a lot of potential," said West's agent, Lance Young. "He feels his experience and leadership will help a team like the Pacers. He was excited Jeff Foster re-signed with them. He feels like Indiana is the best spot for him and his family.""
