People frequently say well he hasn't made any bad trades or signed bad free agent contracts. But the reality is he COULDN'T have made any moves like that, because the team is so hamstrung by the always looming luxury tax.
His one free agent signing, has been terrible on the floor. He used what precious little flexibility/money and the only way Detroit had to get better, on a very bad player who has never been a legit NBA rotation player and he has predictably been terrible in Detroit. Worse, he committed to that guy a couple hours into free agency. Its alarming the caliber of player he seems to be targeting and falling all over himself to get.
Stefanski has been around a LONG time with a handful of different teams and hasn't ever really been all that remarkable of a front office executive.
There really is no legit reason to think that he's going to somehow magically become a great or even good GM at this point, being 65 years old no less.

I’m just hoping he’ll be less abysmal at drafting than our previous regime. Might be too tall an order though.
I still think Gores is the biggest current problem though.
