I feel like a worst all time list of "GM's" really should include Ted Stepien who was so bad there was a rule named after him. He traded away five consecutive first-round picks... 5!!!!

If I remember correctly, the NBA actually gave the Cavs more picks to compensate for Stepien's terrible decision making. Different times, NBA needed the teams to at least be somewhat competitive.

Micheal Jordan is bad, don’t get me wrong. He deserves an honorable mention for a top 5. David Kahn, Isiah Thomas, Billy King, and Ted Steipen are all locks. But as a Clippers fan, Elgin Baylor deserves to be in that list. Guy only had 2 winning seasons in 22 years. Some of that blame goes to noted racist dickhead Donald Sterling, but you couldn’t put together a sustainable solid team that could have success for more than 1 season. Jordan and Baylor are arguable for the 5 spot.

Ted Stepien should be Number 1. Its not even close. The league had to make new rules because of how bad he was.

@GroundHOG-2010

It was one of those rare times that the league actually stopped a team from being able to trade to stop them becoming insolvant, and even offered replacement picks to the team when Mr Stepien sold the team. Once they allowed the team to trade again while Mr Stepien was there, trades had to still be approved by the league. There is also the racism stuff (trying to make a 'balanced team racially') during a time when the league really wanted to get the public to accept a league with mostly black athletes, and the loosing $15 million in three years of running, or going through five coaches in that time. And the Toronto Towers thing...

Miles Claxtion Production To catch you up on GM’s, Ted Stepien was the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 1980’s(If my memory serves me right) and he wanted to build a playoff team almost immediately. He kept trading away 1st round picks for veteran players each year because of his win-now philosophy and the picks that he traded away became either All-Stars or even Hall of Famers like James Worthy. It got so bad that the league literally had to step in and implement a rule named after Stepien that prohibits trading away 1st round picks in consecutive years. The Cavs got compensated with extra 1st round picks in exchange for cash, although I’m not sure how much each of the picks cost back then. In the end, the compensation prevented the Cavs from getting into a hopeless situation in Cleveland and that’s why you should never trade away 1st round picks for washed up players; ie the Brooklyn Nets trade in 2013.

I am on the "do a video on Ted Stepien" bandwagon.

Its a more recent one but Rob henigan may be the most damaging gm in a short amount of time trading away Victor oladipo, Tobias Harris and ruining our cap flexibility by over paying biyombo and fournier

I want to add Rick Pitino who left Celtics a mess and almost ruined Chauncey Billups career

Just came to check and make sure Billy King was in this list

Yeah but how df did he get another chance being a gm

can we get the top 5 best after this one?

Great list. I nominate Wes Unseld for the #5 spot.

I love how objective your tone and videos are, makes things accurate

Can Dan Gilbert count? he managed to twice lose a top 3 all time player that loved his city because he was dumb and only managed to get one ring out of it.

You are on of the best of your kind This channel must grow immediately

Moral of the story: Great players don't equal great GM's

Honorable mention: Joe Dumars. Even though he did great to start and we won a championship, his last few years on the job were horrendous. Allen Iverson trade was bad, Charlie Villanueva and Ben Gordon highlights some of the guys we brought in.

GarPax is quite horrendous (but pulling the trigger on Butler seems like a win for them) Thibs as a part-time PBO of TWolves was questionable SVG as Pistons part-time PBO was also mildly disappointing..

Much appreciated my dude!

Here’s my opinion on this list: 1) Ted Steipen (Not exactly a GM but was the one commanding his GM’s to trade 5 consecutive first round picks, and so bad there’s a rule named after him. Also a hated man in Cleveland Sports History with Art Modell.) 2) Isiah Thomas (Made a bunch of dumbass moves, that created logjams, and set the Knicks back 5 years. Also a totally good human being who gets charged for sexual harassment.) 3) David Kahn (Set the Timberwolves back 4 years, and even them they still haven’t recovered from his awful decisions, and his niche of trading picks for cash.) 4) Billy King (Dude traded all his picks for a bunch of 35 year old men that were all gone in a year. The result: One playoff series win. Also this man wasted AI’s prime.) 5) Elgin Baylor (Sure he won an executive of the year in 06’, but that was just another outlier year for us Clippers, and only had two winning seasons as executive in 22 years. I will also blame Donald Sterling for this but come on man.) Honorable Mention: Micheal Jordan (Like Steipen, he technically calls the shots as a Owner, and the GM’s are organizational puppets. Very arguable for the 5 spot with Baylor)

Just put a history of Sacramento Kings and Detroit Pistons GM's Would be a nice list

Now do a best GMs of all time!

I think Dan Gilbert should be in this list even though he technically wasn't the GM he failed to surround lebron with any talend, winning 1 title in 11 years with the Best player in the world ain't cutting it for me

MJ: *Took this personally

Elgin Baylor with the Clippers 22 years and one playoff appearance

I don't understand how anyone can be this bad as a GM

As a Raps fan from day 1 I will say Isiah was pretty good as gm of the Raptors especially drafting wise. He drafted Damon Stoudamire who went on to win rookie of the year, as well as Tracy McGrady and Marcus Camby.

Great list. I would add Rob Hennigan.

Wow, awesome analytics and overall video! Terrible managers 🤦

Surprised Rob Henigan isn’t on this list

When nba tv hired Billy king to do it's gm point of view analysis. I expect the channel to close.

Stan Van Gundy he broke up a playoff team with the pistons when Brandon Jennings was there and left the pistons struggling with hid other moves that has the pistons still digging out the hole

Great video but it really should be titled “4 Worst GMs of the past 20 years”. There were definitely some GMs in the 80’s who were worse than these guys.

Magic is about to be on this list

How about doing a list of the top 5 or top ten NBA owners of all time? And we know who's gonna be #1. Something to think about.

NC State is pretty cool. I remember that we (Mississippi State) played them in the Belk Bowl in Dak's final game

And trading James Harden

Otis Smith lol, he destroyed the Magic 09 finals team.

Great NBA players tend to make the WORST GM's.

Stu Jackson killed the Vancouver grizzlies, try top that

Rob Babcock was brutal with the Raptors. Definitely the worst gm in franchise history. Drafting Rafael Arajuo with the 8th pick in 2004. The return he got in the Vince Carter trade was really bad. Alonzo Mourning didn't even play for the team and they bought him out.

Billy King should have been 4th because he done killed off the Nets in his time as GM... It's only now that the Nets got draft picks back because of Sean Marks at the helm..

Whoever was the Cavs GM in the early 1980's deserves to be on this list. He traded away multiple future first round picks that later became James Worthy and Derrick Harper, and was the reason why the NBA made the rule that you can't trade your 1st round pick in consecutive drafts. He also traded Bill Laimbeer and James Edwards for virtually nothing.

Billy king is one of the greatest GM in NBA history. If not for him the Celtics would never b in such a great position. For all the praise Danny Ainge gets King deserves half of it!!!

Can you do a video about how the T-Wolves management couldn’t build a team around Kevin Garnett and all the drama that ensued?

It's hard not to believe guys like Michael and Isiah don't have ludicrously over-inflated senses of their own abilities to scout talent and simply refuse to delegate that responsibility to proven professionals. I mean, they both have been embarrassing in that regard, haven't they?!

MJ reportedly tried to push Bulls GM Krause to make certain decisions that Krause said would have been disastrous. Judging by his run running the Hornets and Bullets, Krause was right, MJ is a lousy GM.

It’s ironic that some of them are like the NBA top 75 players

Vlade Divac has potential to be there he is in the Kings for only 3 years yet he has already have done several terrible decisions Like drafting Stein over Booker and Turner

Please do one for the best GMs

Tucker already ruined the wolves for the next 4 years

Billy King and David Khan first came into mind

I didn't know Kevin mccale was an exec. That's unfortunate

Definitely doc rivers with my clippers should be number 5/a dishonorable mention. To this day even after he's fired, he's favoritism towards "his players", aka washed up celtics and his own son vs literally anybody else, and his inability to draw any major free agent during the lob city era and habitually wasting draft picks are just a few of the reasons we've never made it to the WCF

Just because you are a great basketball player doesnt mean you have great management skills and negoitating skills. Aka michael jordan

You forgot ernie gunfrield.

How you don't have MJ at #1 ?? idk? Look at how bad they are & have been. Look at who he has drafted. Look at trades that he has done, & got what for them? Trades he should've done but didn't? Hornets will be bottom feeders as long as he is in charge.

Rob Babcock-traded away Vince Carter for NOTHING!

Did you just List Mj

With trades you can get stupid and bad but drafting seems to involve a lot of luck. :/

Surprised you didn’t mentioned the Sacramento Kings GM

If you can do NFL front office vids I'd be greatly appreciated

Divac should of been on the list man

There would be an award for Worst GM of the Year. The awars will be named MICHAEL JORDAN'S WORST GM AWARD.

I wonder who is number 1

Nice you live in North carolina I do too 👍

Do best next

You forgot Elgin Baylor!

I'm sorry but Sam henkie would have been number one on my list for worst GM's in NBA history

Anyone want to give odds that Magic makes this list someday? Maybe even already!

Sorry about that L NCSU had to take last weekend

Billy king

The best GM of all time Jerry West

I think jerry west I s a good one I wish he was still with the lakers

Players do not make good GM’s and coaches

Ted Stepien

Before I watched MJ Phil Jackson Isiah Thomas Billy King Edit: 3/4 not bad. I should've known David Kahn

Shout out Ernie Grunfield

Otis Smith of the Orlando Magic was terrible.

Jordan the worst cuz he got fired when he controlled the wizards and have the longest history of bad mistakes

Good list but not complete without phil Jackson. Every move he did was awful

Phil Jackson killed the Knicks.

What about Donald Sterling?

Where is Jim Buss?

Second to comment

Where is Elgin Baylor he is like the worst nba Gm ever

Jordan is Owner, not GM. The GM was Chosen and now is Kup.

Worst owners of all time please
