Jerry West finalizing deal to join Clippers in same consultant role he had with Golden State, per source

Being that it's the Clippers, it can only end in either of these two ways: Mr. Clutch loses his marbles and makes a career ending blunder, like Red Auerbach drafting Michael Smith ("He plays a lot like Larry") or Bill Walsh advising the 49ers to take Giovanni Carmazzi (lol) over some guy from Michigan, a sixth-round pick, or (God forbid) he kicks the bucket before he puts his stamp on the franchise.

Or he goes Theo Epstein and breaks the curse that has lingered over the franchise. Jerry has too much of a track record to wash out. Everyone seems to be assuming LeBron to LA is a done deal after next season. How well would LeBron, Jordan, and Griffin be together? It would certainly be one of the biggest (in terms of size) big 3 "super teams".

It would be terrible spacing and one of the big three would always be hurt.

If Chris Paul leaves then nothing else really matters. That is, unless Russell Westbrook is part of their plan for a super team.
