Jerry West suggested today in stronger terms than ever that he would
likely step down as president of basketball operations for the Memphis
Grizzlies following this summer’s rookie draft.

In a meeting with local
media, West indicated that there could be as many as three new additions
to the franchiseย’s management team that he will have a role in hiring: Two
in the front office and one on the sidelines. For more from Westย’s
