Tie between Dolan and Sarver for me. Dolan spends more willingly than Sarver so that could tip the scales, but I'm not gonna give him praise by voting for anyone.

Classic video, but that clip misses Vivek's best line

"Shoots like Curry, big like Klay"

In the full video I love how he's cheering as superior prospects in Smart and Randle come off the board.

Taylor has been so bad for so long, hard to ignore him in this too. I mean the Suns and Knicks have at least had flashes of competence. The Wolves have not since Cassell had that magical year the same year KG peaked. And even when they make a move that looks smart--the Butler trade, they disrespect him and give Wiggins the stupid contract based on his draft position rather than his actual play and now we are on Towns trade demand countdown this early into a max deal.

I think Jordan is . Theres not getting anything for Kemba, , not drafting Mitchell letting kupchak keep his job still ...

Dolan at least makes the Knicks a lot of money , hate or love it .

Sarver is the second worst . How is Jeanie buss option ?

Dolan and Sarver will lead this comfortably but they're not heads and shoulders above others at all. MJ for example is hideous and super cheap. Dolan is at least not cheap. Taylor consistently delivers, should normally be the darkhorse contender. Buss is an idiot. Very underrated around here. It's just too many of them. New HOU owner is a promising talent too. Had a good start to his career.

Dolan has every advantage and still gets it wrong to the point of being embarrassing at times.

Not many people from Chicago I see

Dolan?? Atleast he takes chances. Try living with a front office that has an apparent lifetime contract.

This was the team the GOAT played for. And ever since we have been used only as leverage when free agents are available. It's the third biggest market in sports, and no one wants to be here. No one.

This should be a two horse (s-ass) race between the Sarver and Dolan.

I'm pretty sure Portland's owner is a pre-order deal on Amazon right now.

Figured I’d go conservative and avoid the prove it debate.

Sarver by a long margin, You can hate on Dolan all you want but at least he does not sell picks or trade players for scraps just to "save" money like Sarver does.
