The Worst NBA GM's
Bill Simmons has a very good piece where he has the worst GM's defending their awful moves. After reading the piece - two things really hit home and made me shake my head:
1. The NBA does seem to have more really bad GM's than any other sport. Baseball is a close second but after Jim Bowden gets fired their is really nobody left at the MLB level that is even close to being as bad as Isiah Thomas.
2. Maybe it has been the really poor front office work for 75% of the NBA teams that has depressed interest in the league. I had fallen into the trap of thinking it was the lack of passing skills and the marketing of individual stars instead of teams that was the root problem for the current NBA malaise but maybe it is just bad GM's driving down interest with really bad personnel moves.
