Worst run franchises.
I'm a Bobcats fan and we've copped a lot of crap over our existence (and fair enough under Bob Johnson's ownership) but we have made major strides under the guidance of Rich Cho; for as much crap he receives as an owner, MJ has really invested in Cho's system including our Scouting department and stepping back from operations.
That said who do you believe to be the worst run franchises currently from top to bottom?

Kings and Clippers (Sterling) no doubt.
I have a feeling a lot of people will say the Magic, but we're pretty decent aside from when our Superstar is in a contract year.

Re: Worst run franchises.
Sacramento Kings without a doubt. I don't have the slightest clue what this team is doing. I don't think there is a single player on that team that is willing to pass the ball. All I see on that team is a bunch of chucking black hole type players.
Orlando is not a bad run franchise at all. In fact, I don't even think Dwight had a bad supporting cast in his years in Orlando. It's hilarious how people even think that. Dwight just wasn't good enough to lead a team.

Noone in their right mind would say the Magic, that franchise has been beset by bad luck forever.
CWebb forcing a trade when picked one for Penny who got injured...bad luck...
Nick Anderson's missed free throws and apparent mental breakdown following this...bad luck
Shaq leaving as a free agent...geographical bad luck
T-Mac forcing a trade or leaving...bad luck
Stevie Franchise giving up the ghost...bad luck
Grant Hill's injuries...hindsight proves they shouldn't have signed him but it's Grant **** Hill...bad luck
Dwight forcing a trade and getting peanuts in return...bad luck
The Magic have dealt with some crazy adversity and are a much respected franchise imo.

Re: Worst run franchises.
this award goes to the Kings imo.
they really need to relocate and start fresh, seattle would be a good fit.
I hope for them robinson pans out, im rooting for the kid.

The owners run a successful business venture so they are run well organisationally but Colangelo is TERRIBLE.

Re: Worst run franchises.
This is easily the Warriors followed by the Clippers and Kings.

I would say Clipps win this for long term fails. But in the last 5ish years? Sacramento, Charlotte and Milwaukee all have strong cases.

The Bucks. They have no direction, and they never tried to swing for the fences either in free agency, or the lottery.

Re: Worst run franchises.

But yeah, I'll say Kings actually. Tough choice.

Re: Worst run franchises.
Hard to make a ranking, there are different ways how to run things badly. There are teams doing well/being run decently despite bad owner (Portland, Clippers), there are teams being terrible because of owners or/and GMs (and sometimes it is hard to tell whose fault it is), obviously Kings, Raptors (despite having specific obstacles to overcome), currently Pistons, then you have treadmill teams which is up to debate whether that means being run terribly as well (Milwaukee, Atlanta), going into red numbers may qualify as well regardless of roster assembled, then you have small markets with cold weather, taxes whatever having a tough time attracting big names and being blamed for being run poorly in spite of they can't do anything about it (and rely on other things), on the other sire big markets having too much money to spend so they muddy the waters regularly for bad reason (probably both New York teams), some teams shred that image by being saved by sheer luck, some are screwed by injuries and then you have a team here and there who may be decent despite questionable moves (Kahn with Wolves - he is suspectible in drafting, assembled interesting roster though, coach influence may helped though) meaning that jury is still out on that ones. Which reminds me that GMs may be good in drafting and terrible in deals or other way around, saving their face (and job), do the count? (fans of those team tend to blame them more then others usually). And Hornets deserves a mention for sure for becoming a league-owned team. We could make a case for them winning this.
Bobcats would be a contender in this if not swtching from Higgins to about a half and year ago (not a bad move since, no matter how you rate two last drafts - still too early).

No one else is saying the Wizards?
But do you know what they call a fool, who's full of himself and jumps into the path of death because it's cool?

Yeah, where are my Wizards? They've been bottom 2-3 team last I don't know how many seasons... The franchise needs major changes, seriously.
