Jerry West Joining Lakers Unlikely Following ‘Magic Johnson’s Takeover’

There have been some drastic changes throughout the Los Angeles Lakers organization over the last few months. President Jeanie Buss chose to part ways with Mitch Kupchak and Jim Buss bringing in Rob Pelinka and Magic Johnson as their replacements. Along with the front office overhaul, there’s been a lot of speculation about some big names potentially returning to the organization like former player and general manager, Jerry West.

It appears West was interested in a sort of advisory role with the Lakers once his contract expired with the Golden State Warriors where he serves as an executive board member.
