Jerry West once threatened to quit his job as a special consultant with the Golden State Warriors if the team decided to trade Klay Thompson for Kevin Love. Three years later, The Logo reportedly is leaving Oakland — not out of animosity, but to take on a new challenge.
Sports Illustrated’s Frank McCallum first reported West has decided to accept the Clippers’ offer to serve a similar role in Los Angeles. The news came late Wednesday, the same day word leaked that the city of Inglewood would vote on a proposal to allow the Clippers to explore building a new arena.
