Re: Update on Jerry West's possible return
He said multiple times that he's not coming back. Jus accept the fact.

Re: Update on Jerry West's possible return
I don't think there's anyway he returns, he's close to mitch, he might give Mitch some advice but he's not gonna replace Mitch or usurp his responsibilities.

I agree. the only way West is coming home is if Mitch were to resign.

West was motivated by a relentless drive to succeed. Years after a game in which he hit 16 of 17 shots from the field, sank all 12 free throw attempts, and notched 12 rebounds, 12 assists and 10 blocked shots, West told the National Sports Daily, "Defensively, from a team standpoint, I didn't feel I played very well. Very rarely was I satisfied with how I played." This obsessive quest for perfection was a constant during West's playing years, and it continued in his later roles as coach and general manager of the Lakers and, currently, as president of basketball operations for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Re: Update on Jerry West's possible return
I do think he can be lured back under the right circumstances, but it's going to come down to whether or not Buss Sr. would welcome him.
If he was smart, he'd roll out the red carpet, but I just don't see that happening. I would love northing more than to see West return, I'm just no holding my breath for it.

Re: Update on Jerry West's possible return
West is just saying he wont come back so he doesnt get low-balled by the Busses. He needs to string them along a little so they are willing to make concessions. He also wants it to be more surprising when he comes back. He might even be positioning some moves for the lakers under the guise of an impartial, unemployed, consultant.
Hell, he can work from West Virginia if he wants to for all I care.
