ANALYSIS
A 2003 first-round pick of the New Orleans Hornets, West spent the first nine seasons of his career in the Big Easy and turned in All-Star campaigns in 2008-09 and 2009-10. West remained a consistent double-digit scorer for the Pacers from 2011-12 to 2014-15 before reinventing himself as a role player off the bench for the Spurs in 2015-16 and the Warriors the past two seasons. He earned his only NBA championships during his two years with Golden State, with his efficient shooting -- he converted a career-best 57.1 percent of his field-goal attempts in 2017-18 -- and sublime passing ensuring the Warriors didn't miss a beat when the starters were resting. With second-year big man Jordan Bell set to take on a bigger role for the Warriors during the upcoming campaign, the team likely didn't have much interest in re-signing West on a guaranteed deal, so the 38-year-old decided to call it quits. He wraps up his 15-year career with averages of 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 28.2 minutes per game over 1,034 regular-season tilts.

Both of the past two seasons, West decided to forgo more lucrative contract offers to sign deals with contending clubs for the veteran’s minimum, as he prioritized collecting his first NBA title over longer-term financial security. After striking out on those efforts with the Spurs in 2015-16, West latched on with the Warriors in 2016-17 and was able to hold the Larry O’Brien Trophy for the first time in his 14-year career. Of course, joining a star-studded roster meant that West would have to sacrifice production, and the big man saw his playing time drop to a career-low 12.6 minutes per game while manning a spot on the Warriors’ bench. The lack of playing time made it almost impossible for West to provide meaningful value to fantasy owners, but he was an excellent fit with the second unit, as his ability to knock down jumpers and willingness to move the ball ensured the Warriors didn’t miss a beat when Draymond Green or Kevin Durant were resting. West ended up re-signing with Golden State on another minimum deal in July, putting the 37-year-old in line to fill a limited role off the bench once again in what could be the final year of his career.
