    Wow. Really? 17th best front office with the 4th best record. Bunch of overachievers we have running things.

    Mavs? Cuban gets in the way too much and makes bad decisions like Rondo trade, Parsons signing, letting Nash go for Dampier, breaking up champ team for DDD Pipedream etc. My personal top FOs (current ones only):

    1) Spurs
    2) GSW
    3) Portland/Houston
    4) Miami

    Yeah Pistons stfu. If Rox FO are so bad how come they have the 4rth best record? As for the "perennial 1st round knockoff" that's what you get when you have Yao Ming injured every year. Jordan spent 8 years being beaten by the Pistons so does that mean he sucks? :rolleyes: Sometimes **** are out of your control if the Rox played in the East instead of facing against Utah, Portland and OKC maybe they'd get to the 2nd round.

    I'm a bit skeptical of the overall process. It seems very recency-bias-y. Of the 16 best teams in the league (10 West, 6 East) 14 of them are in the top 18. Of the 9 currently tanking teams only Utah is ranked in the top 18.
