NBA: Bottom 5 Worst Owners?

[monosylab1k]

What’s everyone’s opinion on who the worst owners are? By my count there’s 7 or 8 who are clearly terrible owners, so it’s tough to make a bottom 5 fwiw imho tbh

1. Dolan
2. Gilbert
3. Ranadive
4. Prokhorov
5. Cuban

Dishonorable mention to: Jordan, Sarver, & the Buss children.

[Bynumite]

LeBeta, whenever he decides to buy a team once he retires. Goddamn, he's a ty GM.

[140]

Agreed, Cuban is up there tbh

[DMC]

I don't think Cuban is up there. I'd consider these guys (not sure who's who but just franchises)

Atlanta
Orlando
Phoenix
Sacramento
Lakers (inherited ownership is pure , plus she hired Magic and just look at their draft choices)
Knicks

[Darth_Pelican]

Gayle Benson because she's only been owner a few months and gold dug her way into it.

[Bill_Brasky]

Imagine being such a gigantically egotistical prick that you actually hire real musicians to play along with your ty ass singing and pretend that you have talent.

[spurraider21]

Knicks/Kings/Nets

league of their own

[Chucho]

Jordan is pretty god-awful too.

[Down Under]

LeBron did pretty well as Toronto's owner this year.

[Spurtacular]

If worst isn't just based on hate, then no on Cuban. He has had some decent success as an owner. Same goes for Gilbert.

[Pelicans78]

Sarvar is probably the worst.

She's a hero in my book.

Cuban is not bad in the sense that will not pay what it takes to win. He will do that.

His problem is that he massively overrates himself and ends up outsmarting rational decisions. Given that he found Dirk on the roster, his other best decision was to hire Carlisle. Other than that, his roster and draft moves have been horrible. He wasted Dirk's prime which should have yielded 1-2 other rings.

Dan Gilbery has to be the worst after this quote

Dan Gilbert told people he wants LeBron James to leave Cavaliers ‘because I’ll get my team back’

https://sports.yahoo.com/report-dan-...180342358.html

"According to a couple of owners I’ve spoken to and a few executives I’ve spoken to, Dan Gilbert is known for not being particularly fond of LeBron James. He doesn’t mind the thought of LeBron James leaving at all. As a matter of fact, I had one executive tell me, “Excuse me, I can’t wait until he leaves, because I’ll get my team back.” This is something Dan Gilbert has actually echoed.

That is an exact quote from my sources that said that Dan Gilbert said that."

LA Media doing everything in its power to get the Lakers back on the map.

Why do people still believe Stephen A.'s drivel when he's never right about anything? His track record on NBA rumors is about as bad as Avante's track record on NFL betting.

Windhorst is confirming the same quote.

Windhorst is confirming the same quote.

No he isn't. He said his personal opinion was that Gilbert thinks he can build a championship team without LeBron. That's not the same as Gilbert supposedly hating LeBron and wanting him to leave, which is the picture that Stephen A. is painting.

Windhorst said he wants to, not that he thinks he can.

scared as that your man crush is Laker bound.

[Will Hunting]

There’s no way Sarver isn’t in the top 5.

You seriously can't tell the difference between this...

ESPN's Brian Windhorst said, "Dan Gilbert believes that he can build a championship team without LeBron, and I think he is looking forward to trying." Windhorst later clarified he was making his own comment, not citing the Cavaliers owner.

...and this?

Stephen A. Smith on ESPN: "Dan Gilbert is known for not being particularly fond of LeBron James... As a matter of fact, I had one executive tell me, "Excuse me, I can't wait until he leaves, because I'll get my team back." This is something Dan Gilbert has actually echoed... That is an exact quote from my sources that said that Dan Gilbert said that.

Mavs fans turning into Lakers "fans" - sad state of affairs.

today’s sports media putting out fake news to push their own profit driven agenda.

@your sig...

The Bucks still would have found a way to screw it up had they drafted Dirk. Look what they've done since Kareem.
