The Golden State Warriors are looking for a new head coach this offseason but also have just added one of the game’s legends in an advisory role.

The San Jose Mercury News reports that Jerry West, a 12-time All-Star as a player and the architect of seven NBA championship squads as the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers, is joining the Warriors "in a non- decision-making, advisory role."

The paper reports that the announcement will come officially in the next few days. The 72-year-old West is also famous for being the model for the NBA logo.
