From the Warriors inside sources West was relatively substantially involved in the day-to-day operations, Not just as an adviser to Lacob and Guber. Yes, I don't know the extend of his day to day involvement with the Clippers, but just reasoning on the age factor and probably reduced drive to be involved on the daily basis, I assume it is in the much less capacity that he was involved with the Warriors and more of the occasional consigliere to Balmer so not to extend himself with the burden of involvement. Especially when he is 85 now.
