Who is the worst GM is pro sports history?

How about whoever was running the Cavs back in the 80s when they traded all of their 1st round draft picks for crappy players, and the league had to give them some high picks back because nobody wanted to buy the team.

Stepien, who was an all-city basketball and football player at Schenley High School in Pittsburgh, infamously made multiple questionable transactions with his teams, such as trading away several future high draft picks for mediocre players. One of the picks whom Stepien traded away turned out to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 1982 NBA Draft, James Worthy, a future Hall of Famer for the Los Angeles Lakers.

In fact, all of these questionable moves led the NBA to institute what is commonly known as the "Stepien Rule," which states that a team cannot trade its first-round pick in consecutive years.

In a December 6, 1982, New York Times article by Ira Berkow, Musselman explained that Stepien "wanted a playoff team right away, and that's what he kept talking about." In the same article, Stepien is quoted as saying: "We made mistakes. And, I take the responsibility."

During his ownership, attendance at Cavaliers games began to sharply fall due to the team's poor play and questionable moves. Stepien had made some comments about moving the team, with Toronto being a rumored destination, but ultimately Stepien decided to sell the team to Cleveland businessmen George and Gordon Gund prior to the 1983-1984 season for $20 million. During his tenure as Cavaliers owner, the Cavaliers went 66-180, had five different coaches and had losses of $15 million

OK he was the owner but I guess he was the one making the decisions.
