NBA: Worst big market owner...

[ElNono]

Mark Cuban: master tinkerer... he couldn't stop tinkering even once he had a championship team... dunno if you guys heard this one before, but apparently letting Tyson Chandler go was a bad idea.

James Dolan: while they're improved somewhat since firing D'Antoni, this is a guy that still consults with Isiah Thomas on a regular basis. Keeps burning money with nothing to show for it.

Jim Buss: Since taking the reins of the team he killed his dad, hired a terrible coach, could not retain "the future of the franchise" after getting on his knees, begging and plastering the city with billboards.

[Arnold Toht]

Jim Buss... no brainer imo

[StrengthAndHonor]

Any owner who gave Isiah Thomas full front office control wins this.

[Leetonidas]

Jim Buss killed his father with his management of the Lakers, easy choice imo

[Vash StampedE]

Cuban. Aspired for Triple D Dynasty. Ended up with what would most likely be Triple DMC. Made D a lonely D.

[spurraider21]

Jim Buss reminds me of 21st century Al Davis, so the answer is Jim Buss

[Venti Quattro]

Why is Donald Sterling not in the poll. 2 years of being semi-good and he's better than Cuban?

[Venti Quattro]

Oh yeah let's not forget that LA is Lakerstown. Well played, ElNono

I left Sterling out because since drafting Griffin, he's been putting the money and they've made big improvements (at least from what was the Clippers standard).

Plus the Clippers have clearly taken a solid foothold as the top NBA team in Los Angeles, which obviously couldn't happen if you were a terrible owner.

This.

[ElNono]

Although I admit that perhaps Sterling looks better than he is because the barometer is now Jim Buss, tbh...

I can't blame Jimmy. I'd have done the same thing. I'm not hiring my sister's buddy to coach my team AND pay him 10 mil AND give him GM duties. that. I still think D'Antoni fits if Dwight would have pick and roll'd all day and Pau stopped taking those ty long jump shots. If they had played Tiago/Tim roles (respectively) they would have been a deadly offensive team.

Dolan has just proved he's awful throughout the years. Gotta give it to him.

[LarryDavid]

Donald Sterling

I get the PJ part and someone could make an argument that D12 wasn't a bad idea, but D'Antoni and the Billboards were just plain stupid.

[sexinthatsx]

Also, the sad part about Jim Buss is that he listens to what the fans want, which is absolutely worst way to run a franchise

[Mark in Austin]

Dolan and it isn't even close. Jim Buss might turn out to be a dip , but the level of incompetence that Dolan has shown year after year after year gives him the solid win.

[whitemamba]

OP with the subtle troll job

paul allen needs to be mention, 3rd richest clown in the clown yet doesnt invest in real doctors...lol

[-21-]

The Knicks being my second team, I hate James Dolan.

[Clipper Nation]

Dolan by a hair over Jimbo due to the Isiah era, but Jimmy will probably overtake him in the next few years

BIG Market. Sacramento is a hole.
