West, Hornets Not Close On Long-Term Deal


Recommended Posts

The Hornets are discussing a contract extension with David West, but the two sides don't appear close on an agreement.

 

New Orleans hopes to get West signed before the Feb. 24 trade deadline, but that's "not likely at all," a source told Yahoo! Sports.

 

West plans to opt out of the $7.5 million owed to him in the final season of his five-year, $45 million contract. He expects to command $10 million annually on the open market, according to a source.

 

"It's hard to see an extension happening here," one source said.

 

Hornets general manager Dell Demps said he and West have an agreement that they won't speak publicly about any discussions.
