Who do you guys think is the best GM in the NBA?I think Donnie walsh is one of the best GM's and jerry west is probaly one of the best also
best - jerrt west - simply is great -got kobe -worst -rick sund - let Nate memillan go after a great season.
The worse GM probaly would be issiah thomas. I mean he makes some of the stupidest moves I have ever seen in sports hisotry.The best would probaly be jerry west maybe he is a little overated but the big moves he made has worked like gold for him.
The GM of the Spurs [/end thread]Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, getting Bowen, all those guys; building a championship team in a small market ain't easy.
No mention of Joe Dumars, who put together the amazing starting lineup of no names, low draft picks and castoffs to win a title..
i shall say bryan colangelo. he built the suns to what they are now(mostly) and is perhaps turning the raptors around
Colangelo is a good pick too. He is trying to transform the Raptors to the Suns of the East. He also did very well in that trade for Ford. They got a real young PG to replace Mike James and I dont think they need Villaneuva that much with Bargnani coming in. I'm not being biased or anything, but Ernie Grunfeld is pretty underrated as a GM. He was praised by a lot of other GMs in the offseason where we got Caron Butler for Kwame Brown. He got us Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison, and Caron Butler. He also got Daniels, Songaila, Stevenson, and drafted Hayes in 2003 to make up for our depth. He isnt one of the best, but you have to admit he's done a good job in Washington.P.S. When he was the GM in Milwaukee, he was the one who picked Michael Redd in the mid-2nd rd, look how that pick has greatly benefited the Bucks. He certainly has an eye for talent.
Daniels and Jamison are way overpaid, specially Daniels. Those aren't moves I'd mention if I were looking to make him look good.

Tons of players in the NBA are overpaid, so that doesnt really make much sense. You dont know what kind of impact he brings to us off the bench. Very valuable player and I think he's even worth the money. Jamison I agree with though, but he still got us a great trio in Arenas, Butler and Jamison. That is a good core to build around with.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Johon Paxson who has in a short time turned the Bulls away from Jerry Krauses crappy ideals and has gotten us back to respectibility....My second choice would be Joe Dumars, and the worst would be (No disrespect to Knicks fans) I siah Thomas who seems to be taking all the Bulls castoffs for some reason, and has one of the highest paid athletes with talent to be sure, but no chemistry.
why bother saying "no disrespect to knicks fans"? We all know it's true. The Knicks are a sh*t team, run by a sh*t GM/Coach.

Best: toss up between RC Buford and Jerry West.Worst: Do you even have to ask?He's probably the only one in MSG giving the thumbs up sign. Other people are using a different finger.
