The Indiana Pacers' top offseason priority will be re-signing David West, who heads into free agency after posting averages of 17.1 points and 7.7 rebounds during the season and virtually identical numbers in the playoffs. Despite speculation that the 6-foot-9, 250-pound soon-to-be 33-year-old West might sign with a team to reunite with former teammate Chris Paul, who also will be a free agent, West has continued to make it perfectly clear where he would like to play next season. "This is my group. These are my guys. You know, I can't see myself going anywhere else," West said after Monday's Game 7 loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals. "We're the second-best team in the Eastern Conference, one of the top four teams in the league, in my estimation, based on this year. This group is a solid group. It gives me as an individual the best chance to accomplish the goals that I have left in terms of my future, and that's competing at this stage of the game every single year from here on out."
