We all know about Jerry West's 60 footer at the Garden in the 1970 Playoffs, but if we can get past that, I think he would be the tractor beam that the Knicks need in order to attract good players into the Garden. He is more than itching to get out of retirement and the Atlanta Hawks are drooling for him to come to Atlanta either as a consultant or a GM. Lets not forget he was the one responsible for the Kobe Bryant, Shaq, and Phil Jackson deal that made the Lakers the great team they are now.

Well... in a dream world, Jerry West would be reeling in the big fishes in New York. However, I somehow doubt that management is going to just eat Layden's $30 mil contract unless his final shot at rebuilding this team goes for naught.

By the way... West hit the 70 footer at the Forum, not at the Garden.
