NBA Rumors: Los Angeles Clippers Interested In Hiring Lakers Legend Jerry West

The cross-town rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers could soon get even more interesting, as the Clippers are looking to poach one of the most iconic players to ever don the purple and gold, Jerry West. It would be a bold move for the Clippers, who are heading into an important offseason in which both Chris Paul and Blake Griffin could leave in free agency.

West, who recently turned 79, has acted as an advisor for the Golden State Warriors since 2011, assisting them in the decision-making process and playing a role in assembling the dominant team that is about to play in their third NBA Finals in as many years.
