The Pacers have positioned themselves to sign David West should negotiations between the Celtics and Hornets on a sign-and-trade fall apart on Sunday, according to sources.

The Celtics can offer the first three years in the $24 million to $25 million range, but the fourth year would likely not be fully guaranteed.

Several sources believed there would be a resolution Sunday.

Indiana has been in talks with West on a two-year deal that would pay him a higher annual salary.

West would prefer to sign with Boston, which would give him the opportunity to start alongside Kevin Garnett.
