Sport teams with horrible management

[Bones of Satan]

Living in toronto I'm surprised no one ever brings up the raptors blunders. these guys hire jackass after jackass to run their teams. Take a look at their draft history since they hired rob "baboon" babcock.

2004: pass up andre iguadala for 12th man can Rafael Araújo with the 8th pic. selection prompts vince carter to ask for a trade

2005: Pass up andrew bynum/danny granger for Charlie Villuneuva with the 7th pic, pass up danny granger again for joey graham with teh 16th pic

Baboon is fired and replaced with collangelo

2006: takes biryani in a lack luster draft

2007-2009 have been can drafts

Essentially their starting roster should be right now

SF: Vince Carter
G: Iguadala
PF: Chris Bosh
C: Andrew Baynum
G: Danny Granger

Salary cap aside, they could have Billups, Carter, McGrady, Bosh and Camby as their starting five right now.

I'd also like to nominate Teh Deciders for shitty, cheaty management. The fact that MNS plays whitey in the final week* of the season confirms his lies.




* = shouldn't be the final week, should be the fucking PLAYOFFS sans MNS

As a Redsox fan I can firmly say that while they're a well run business, Theo Epstein himself is actually a pretty so-so GM. People rave about him but in reality, he's got truck loads of cash to play around with and a lot of GM's would have 90+ win teams under them with 150 million in payroll. Epstein is kinda of an egotistical dick and believes in his own legend at this point. The failure to sign Texiera last year over about 3 mill a year in differences is pretty much the most illustrative part of this.... Epstein sticks to a valuation and NEVER strays from it - right or wrong. There are times when other considerations come into play. Now the Sox have to find a big bat because of Bay leaving and have to do the same in the next year or two without Ortiz. So in effect, Texiera would have killed two birds with one stone - replacement at first, move Youk to third and you have a cleanup hitter for 6 years.

JD Drew
Coco Crisp
Julio Lugo
DiceK
John Smoltz
BH Kim
Edgar Rentaria
Brad Penny
a whole host of relievers
Letting Alex Gonzalez go again
... and I'll venture a guess that Scutaro will pretty much be overpaid and underperform... why sign a guy so old to a multi year deal? especially when you have a proven commodity in Gonzalez.

That's all aside from the guys that they failed to sign... sure they done a great job scouting prospects but Theo has since managed to waste tens of millions on bad decisions.

bears GM Jerry Angelo earlier this week on our receivers...

We like our receiving corps. We like all six. Unfortunately, we can’t get Juaquin Iglesias on the field because we only dress four as a rule on Sunday. If you were to see him given how he’s been practicing, he would come in and produce and be a good football player for us as well. It really is a position of strength.

My Pacers have terrible management. Had our first draft pick in what seems like 10 years and we pick up the guy with the worst nickname in all of sports (other than Justin McCully), Psycho-T just because he's from the Indy area and ticket sales are down big time (maybe it's because the team sucks). We fire a top 5 coach (Rick Carlisle) and attempt to change the style to run & gun when Pacers don't have the right personnel.

Larry Bird was a great play... GM... not so much.

[RyanMcLulz]

I agree with the Redskins pick. Also the Clippers lol they havent been relevant for years.

Oh and my Texans. So much talent but can't break through to the next level

[Boo]

Texans have talent?

Why do they only dress 4 receivers?

Never understood why people think great players make great staff sometimes. I could do a better job than some. Listen to Bas analyze MMA, lol

Isiah Thomas is the supreme example of this, IMO.

I have no idea, one of the four is rashied Davis who doesn nothing but special teams, meanwhile they are talking about iglasius and how could instantly produce on offense but we don't give him a shot, the damn season is over the kids should be playing

At least he's not as bad as Isiah Thomas. He fucked the knicks up good and proper.

I actually think Peyton Manning would be interesting to see as a coach. I mean he is practically their offensive coordinator.

I'm trying to figure out how many the Giants dress every week. Smith, Hixon, Hicks, Manningham, Moss, Hagan. There's probably someone else that I'm missing. Just seems odd to only dress 4. Shit, you can put 5 on the field at once if you want.

He put the Knicks back 5 years, easy.

He is definitely someone who would make a great coach. I am certain Tom Moore hasn't even turned his headset on since Peyton has been there.

i gotta go with isiah--that payroll situation was astonishingly bad. guess they're almost out of the woods.

The Dodgers have awful owners that limit what the gm can do... does that count?

[Bones of Satan]

Isiah Thomas thinks he's frank lucas

when he was president of the raptors, he tried to force the owners into selling him the team. He threatened that damon stodamire and himself would walk if the team wasn't solid to him for some ridiculously low offer <10 mill.

The team told him to fuck off. i'm surprised he found employment elsewhere.

[JihadMeAtHello]

no, because everyone talked about how great the owner was before the divorce

[SuperNatural]

Who is everyone? They literally purchased the entire team on loans!

one of the main reason I can't stand the dodgers
