    I like what Joe Dumars is doing in Detroit.

    And of course Jerry West is the greatest!

    10 years ago, i woulda said Jerry Krause. Now, i'm going to say Elgin Baylor. he did everything right, it's just the clippers have a shitty owner, or else they'd be beating alot of teams.....

    Donnie Walsh has done an excellent job. I'll be impressed if he can re-sign all his players this off-season. The Croshere deal was a HUGE mistake though.

    Joe Dumars has also done amazing things. His trades for Cliffy and Barry were highway robbery. Great off-season signing of Billups. No one has an ugly contract either.

    San Antonio's GM (no clue what his name is and too lazy to find it) has done an awesome job as well. They're a great team, with max money to get even greater in the off-season. They're in the best position in the league.

    I would have to say Les Alexander for the Rockets.

    he drafted Cuttino Mobley, Got Glen Rice for Nothing. Traded for Steve Francis. Signed Yao Ming

    Glen Grunwald - Resigned a large amount of players. Made some trades which were good for the team. Drafts a fantastic player each year.

    Elgin Baylor - nice trades, and drafts

    But isn't their job to put together a team that will be successful. They may have loads of talent (Clips, definitely not the Raps), but it means nothing when you don't win. I can't give him credit unless they win. He's not doing his job when they're in the lottery every year.

    vinsanity03 how can your GM be good when he passed on magoire for bradley? if your GM was good enough you guys wouldn't be near the bottom of the east.

    its the coaches and the players job to make them win, maybe glen should of made some trades, but the raps were doing well when vince came back, he wanted to see what would happen. its too late for raps to make the playoffs and we cant ge number one so we should just ge tthe lottery. If you look in the past of the playuers we've drafted, traded, and signed you would agree. He resigned Vince, Alvin, AD, and JYD which is pretty hard to do.
