Jerry West enters the fray

Via Ken Berger of Newsday:
"It was no surprise that when Jerry West was reached at his Los Angeles home Thursday night, he was watching basketball. Southern Cal and Kansas State were playing on his television screen, but as usual West's active mind was racing with other possibilities.

West, 69, the architect of the Lakers' dynasty whose silhouette famously adorns the NBA logo, somehow has been overlooked as Knicks executives begin the process of evaluating their options if they decide to remove Isiah Thomas from power.

Three people with ties to West told Newsday Thursday that the Hall of Famer would be interested in running the Knicks if the job were offered to him."

I don't know, in the short time West ran the Grizzlies, they made the playoffs three times, and were a respectable team before the meltdown in 2006-07. Anyone have any opinions on this?
