Default Re: Who is the worst GM is pro sports history?

Its a bad call to give an NBA GM worst GM in history status if they come into a horrible situation, because its so hard to rebuild in the NBA with the way the salary cap is structured if you have horrible contracts.

You're being way too kind. OK so he didn't sign Allan Houston to 20 per. But he did:

1. Trade for Marbury's huge contract, along with overpaid Penny Hardaway.
2. Later, traded Hardaway (in the final year of his contract) and a good young talent in Ariza for Francis (Marbury 2.0), who was clearly not that good anymore and whose contract would be on the books for 3 more seasons.
3. Signs Jerome James for ~$6M per for 5 years (6 mpg wooh!)
4. Trades away tons of first rounders for Curry's bloated contract.
5. Traded Kurt Thomas's remaining $22M/3years for Q-Rich's $37/5years.
6. Not content to let Francis's contract come off the books in '09, he trades it for Z-Bo's, which comes off the books in '11. At least this guy's got some talent and can grab some boards. I wonder if two overweight, all-offense no defense front court players will work together?

I'm sure I'm missing a couple things.
