Jerry West to Clippers: Thanks, but No Thanks.

[LakeShow]

Souces close to Jerry West (http://www.nbclosangeles.com/topics?topic=Jerry+West) told KNBC that the Hall of Famer has been approached by the Clippers (http://www.nbclosangeles.com/topics?topic=Los+Angeles+Clippers) about becoming the team's next General Manager. The legendary Laker said thanks, but no thanks.

This clearly validates a report in the Boston Globe (http://www.nbclosangeles.com/topics?topic=The+Boston+Globe) that the Clippers are considering removing Mike Dunleavy (http://www.nbclosangeles.com/topics?topic=Mike+Dunleavy) as GM at season's end. Dunleavy is currently both the GM and Coach of the Clippers, a 17-54 team mired in a dreadful season.

Sources say that West has no interest in the Clipper job. The team is reportedly interested in former Heat GM and ex-Lakers Coach Randy Pfund (http://www.nbclosangeles.com/topics?topic=Randy+Pfund). Either way, it's clear that something has to change for the Clippers, and that change may be coming soon.

Too bad but I can't say I blame West. Working for Sterling probably isn't easy and I wonder if loyalties ran deep (all his years w/the Lakers). I think it would've been wonderful for the Clipper organization.

I think it may be time for the Clippers to get rid of the "coach" dunleavy as well as the GM. :hat

yeah, genuflecting before the NBA logo. Jerry West could open up a string of porn theaters and that would still be more productive than working for the Clips
