David West was walking into the Warriors' practice facility Wednesday morning when a friend called to give him tragic news: Longtime NBA player Rasual Butler, West's close friend and former teammate, had been killed with his wife in a single-vehicle crash in Los Angeles. "I just did an immediate U-turn, got out of here," West said. "It was just devastating." Butler and his wife, R&B singer Leah LaBelle Vladowski, were pronounced dead at the scene at 2:35 a.m. Wednesday after their Range Rover struck parking meters and a wall and rolled into a parking lot in L.A.'s Studio City neighborhood, according to the coroner's office. Butler was 38; Vladowski was 31.
