West is entering the Hall of Fame as a GM because he won four rings as one of the architects of the Showtime Lakers, was the head man in Memphis and helped build a successful foundation with that team, was a consultant with the Warriors as they built the Stephen Curry era dynasty, then was a consultant with the Clippers during the best run of that franchise's history. His eye as a talent evaluator was as good as the league has seen.
