No other details have been released on where West was going.

Championship Hunting

The Cleveland Cavalres, who have made it to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals over the years, have added pressure this year due to an inability of the front office to re-sign Lebron James to a contract extension.

The current climate of continuing negotiations, or lack  thereof, arose despite the signing of 4-time NBA Champion Shaquelle Oneil.

This puts added pressure on the entire organization to perform well this year and bring Cleveland a champsionhip. Otherwise, the 2010 season could bring about a change in residence for the 24 year-old Akronite.
