David West will ink a five-year extension with the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets, a league source confirmed to DraftExpress.com's Jonathan Givony on Monday.
He will play for 2 million dollars in the last year of his rookie contract this season. The league source indicated that his extension is worth over 45 million dollars. Hornets GM Jeff Bower and West's agent Lance Young of Octagon had until Tuesday to come to terms on the extension.
West, the #18 pick in the 2003 draft, had a breakout season last year with the Hornets, averaging 17.1 points and 7.4 rebounds.

The results of an MRI concluded that Hornets center Marc Jackson has a partially torn left hamstring and he will miss the start of the regular season.
"I just felt something rip," Jackson said. "I just felt something pop. It was a lot of pain, and I knew right then something was wrong.
"I might have to completely shut it down for a few weeks to let it heal just so I can get out there and help the team. We have a lot of good players and a lot of good talent, but they don't have me out there and they need me. I truly believe that."
