Probably doesn’t hurt. The idea of “shake things up on the expensive, past-its-prime team that’s lost in the first round the last two years and lost its best player” isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but people are definitely more likely to listen if it’s Jerry West on board.
If someone like Sam Hinkie had made the exact same move, all the talk would be about how nobody will want to play for/watch the Clippers for the next 5+ years because they have no loyalty, are trying to rob fans by putting an inferior product on the court, blah blah blah.
