Top GMs in the NBA

[Gummi Clutch]

So many people on here like to boast about "X" being the best GM, but how would you rank them? top 10/15...

[Infinite_limit]

Guy that traded Gasol to the Lakers as the worst

[sook]

Bufford
Riley

are the top.

[Kool Bob Love]

Bufford
Riley

are the top.

riley? You stuck in 2010 bruh?

[DMX7]

Unleash the fury Mitch

Lakers :lmao

Past achievements don't get disregarded, especially if they contributed to the current heat team that has made it to the finals 4 years in a row and won twice..

[Shane27]

other than that bruno pick this draft uriji for toronto is pretty good. Raped the knicks when he was with denver

[NRHector]

Stern, he helped the Lakers many times

[Mel_13]

He kept raping them when he got to Toronto. See the Bargnani trade.

[Shane27]

forgot to mention that

[DMC]

Who cares.

[MarioSpeedwagon]

Who cares.
The people who posted in this thread.

[Gummi Clutch]

Who cares.
They actually have an award for this, and the GMs are arguably just as important as coaches, since they hire them and assemble the team...

Here are the top names that get thrown around

RC
Presti
Riley
Kupchak
Ujiri
Morey
Bird (despite what happened with granger he assembled a good team)
Billy King
Jerry West


how would you rank them?

[hsxvvd]

My top 5
RC
Riley
Morey
Bird
West

[Gummi Clutch]

My top 5
RC
Riley
Morey
Bird
West
no presti? The Harden move wasn't his fault since he would have lost him for peanuts because of their cheap owner, he's right behind Riles imo.

Also, how does Morey get ranked so high when he hasn't accomplished anything? Dude has won 1 playoff series, and the coach that did it for him he fired for calling him out.

[baseline bum]

My top 5
RC
Riley
Morey
Bird
West

Bird is bottom 5 with that complete clusterfuck of overpaid scrubs.

[Splits]

Danny Ferry deserves mention. He somehow moved Joe Johnson's contract and was smart enough to let Josh Smith walk, that's gotta be worth something.

[-21-]

I think it would be something like this:

RC Buford/Gregg Popovich
Sam Presti
Pat Riley
Masaj Ujiri
Mitch Kupchak
Daryl Morey
Jerry West
Danny Ferry

[Robz4000]

RC
Presti
Ujiri
Riley
West
Ferry
Morey

The rest are pretty mediocre to bad.

[100%duncan]

:lol Presti

dude cant even form a team around kd and westbrook

[Malik Hairston]

Best
1. RC/Pop
2. Morey
3. Ujiri
4. Mavs front office
5. Presti or Ferry

Worst
1. Billy King
2. Sacramento's owner/front office
3. Bird
4. Riley

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Little love for that Suns new guy? He's done a pretty good job. Not impressed with the Ujiri guy in Toronto at all.

Another piss pot chickenshit from upstairs. I spit on you.

No, Adelman wanted complete control of roster moves. Morey for his faults, has taken the corpses of McGrady and Yao, and turned them into Harden and Howard, all without tanking.

Riley is so overrated it's not even funny. And it's showing why he is right now, chasing Luol Deng as if he'll make a difference :lol

[Twisted_Dawg]

Stern, he helped the Lakers many times

I think we're talking active GM's here. Now if we include retired and active GM's, then yes, Stern is clearly top 3.

[Malik Hairston]

Where does Riley's high regard as a GM come from, tbh?:lol..

How does he get credit for 3 friends joining each other in Miami and Shaq demanding a trade out of LA?..he's an awful GM with an antiquated mind for the game..


And Billy King should be the worst on every list, I don't know how he still has room in the NBA, tbh..

[Reck]

:lol Presti

dude cant even form a team around kd and westbrook

Yeah I dont get this pick either.

He had KD already there and I have no idea where Westbrooke came from and who got him but I dont think he's great. Didn't he tried to get Tyson Chandler and then backed out of it? How that worked out for him? :lol

[baseline bum]

Little love for that Suns new guy? He's done a pretty good job. Not impressed with the Ujiri guy in Toronto at all.

Ujiri raped the Knicks for Gallinari, Chandler, Felton, Mozgov, and the Knicks' 2014 first round pick in a hopeless situation when Anthony wanted out. That Knicks' pick became Andre Iguodala and he dumped Felton on Portland for Andre Miller, so essentially that trade became Melo who wanted out for Gallinari, Chandler, Iguodala, Miller, and Mozgov. You're not supposed to win a trade when an all-star wants out, and somehow he did. Then he left for Toronto and the new GM lost Iguodala for nothing.

As soon as he got to Toronto he went back and raped New York some more, salary dumping Bargnani's truly hideous 2 year, $22 million contract. Bargnani is one of the worst players in the league by far. Not hard to see how New York missed the playoffs this year playing that faggot 30 minutes a game. And Toronto gets the 3 seed. Bargnani just cast a black cloud over that team the same way Jefferson did with the Spurs. And Ujiri also got the Knicks' 2016 first round pick for salary dumping one of the five worst players in the league on their ass!

And then dumping Rudy Gay's 2 year, $37 million deal was a great move too. He took over one of the worst cap situations in the league and got rid of their two worst contracts without having to give up any good assets. Toronto is nowhere close to the luxury tax now when without Ujiri they would be paying it to retain Lowry. He's easily the #2 GM in the league right now.

:lmao Pat Riley :lmao..

:lmao idiot OP mentioning Billy King as a top GM:lmao..

Truly one of the worst posters in the galaxy, in the solar system..

5. Presti or Ferry

Worst
1. Billy King
2. Sacramento's owner/front office
3. Bird
4. Riley

Lol the only thing Donnie Nelson/ Cuban has done well recently is when they hired Rick. The rest was pure luck (Monte, Carter, Chandler's first go around etc.....). They can't draft worth a shit and they blowup championship teams.
