When the Golden State Warriors hired Jerry West as an adviser to the team, did they think he would be advising that their best player be traded?West's quote in Tim Kawakami's column in the San Jose Mercury News this past Wednesday did just that.
“I’ve seen teams trade players that score tons of points and people say, ‘How in the world can you trade that player?’ ” West said last week. “Because he might score tons of points and the team doesn’t win."
“When I look at (the Warriors), obviously they need more size.”
