Last night on Pacman Jonesin' I revisited an August 2009 post about the worst GM's in the NBA.  For the most part, my commentary was spot on.  However, I did make a mistake or two.  Here is an excerpt (with last night's thoughts in italics):    

9)   Joe Dumars – Pistons fans aren’t going to like this, but Dumars has made a lot of head scratching decisions recently (Chauncey Billups trade, Rip Hamilton extension, Ben Gordon contract and bringing Chris Wilcox in to presumably start at center to name four).  Is Joe living on borrowed time in Detroit?

Joe truly has been a disaster for the past few years.  This assertion can’t be disputed.  Other than nabbing promising forward Jonas Jerebko in the 2nd round of the draft, Dumbars (yes, that is spelled correctly) has been firing blanks.  This is a horrific roster of players and there really is little chance of the Pistons turning things around anytime soon.

 5)   Ed Stefanski -Throwing $80+ million at Elton Brand will plague the 76ers for years and letting Andre Miller leave without any compensation was questionable to say the least.  Maybe Stefanski thinks that recent acquisition Primoz Brezec will lead the Sixers to the promised land.  As far as I’m concerned, Brezec is just Dwayne Schintzius minus the mullet.

 As bad as Westphal has been in Sacramento, the head coach Stefanski hired might even be worse.  Eddie Jordan is almost assured of being fired in a couple weeks for his deplorable performance and Stefanski may soon follow him out the door.

4)   John Hammond - Hiring Sourpuss Scott Skiles, drafting Joe Alexander, dumping Richard Jefferson for eighteen cents on the dollar and failing to extend a qualifying offer to Charlie Villanueva are just four of the dubious decisions Hammonds has made as GM of the Bucks in a span of less than two years.

While I’ll always hammer Hammond for drafting Alexander, most of his other moves have really turned out well.  Although erratic, Brandon Jennings has been the third best rookie in the league.  Picking up Carlos Delfino was solid and acquiring John Salmons for next to nothing (Hakim Warrick and the aforementioned Alexander) was nothing short of brilliant.

Although the season ending injury to Andrew Bogut Saturday night will likely prevent the Bucks from winning a playoff series, Scott Skiles has pushed most of the right buttons this year (I still can’t believe he and Jennings haven’t clashed).   Hammond should have dealt oft-injured guard Michael Redd for something anything while he had the chance, but otherwise he has done a very good job at the helm in Milwaukee.
