Default Re: Top 5 NBA GMs

McHale gives Thomas a run for his money for worst GM. Yeah, the T-Wolves have been decent, but thats pretty much due to KG and McHale has done nothing to help him. McHale made what has to be the single worst deal in NBA history when he tried to Circumvent the CBA for Joe Smith. Its bad enough that McHale was willing to throw a max deal at Smith, but to cheat in order to do it? Losing 5 1st round picks for absolute stupidity is something that Isiah is going to have a hard time duplicating.

Isiah gave away two LOTTERY UNPROTECTED picks for a sign and trade for a big man with a heart problem (i.e. Curry). That is, as of right now, the Chicago Bulls have the #4 pick in the draft, as well as a top 10 pick in next year's draft. That is HORRIBLE. McHale was only giving up 5 picks in the LATE first round (20-30), since those TWolves teams made the playoffs.

FWIW, Billy Knight and Rob Babcock have to be worse than McHale.
