Isaih Thomas.
He's been fucking up my team.
I'm hoping the Knicks don't make the Playoffs this year and in fact do so horrible they might be the worst team in the league. At least that way, we'll get a good draft pick.

Since Walsh took over the Pacers around 86-87 they have had around 14 winning seasons. He drafted the most well known Pacer of all time, Reggie Miller who turned out too be one of the greatest players.
Drafted:
Rik Smits, Antonio Davis (all star), Dale Davis (all star), Chroshere, Harrington, Brezec, Fred Jones, James Jones.
Trades:
He dealt Jalen Rose, an overpriced one dimensional player who has been less productive every season for two upcoming players who turned into all stars Ron Artest (also DPOY) and Brad Miller. Unfortunetly since we resigned a few players, and Brad turned into a allstar he became greedy and left. But overall it was still a good deal because Ron is cheaper and 10000 times better than Jalen (when on the court
)
Jamaal Tinsley (17 ppg, 4rpg, 7apg) was brought in for a draft pick, hes arguably a top 5 or 10 pg in the league.
He got rid of someone he thought was on the decline in Antonio Davis (he had 1 all star year in Toronto but hasn't done much since) for Jonthan Bender. Bender has shown glimpes of a great player but unfortunetly injuries have held him back. If Bender does become a great player or even just a great spark off the bench this is still a good deal.
He got Jeff Foster, for Vonteego Cummings
and a future first-round pick. Definetly won this trade, Jeff is one of the best hustle players in the league and one of the best rebounders as well.
The biggest transaction of his career next to drafting and being able to keep Reggie Miller was the trade that brought in Jermaine O'neal.
Indiana traded an aging Dale Davis for Jermaine O'neal who is now one of the best players in the league.
Donnie Walsh has made a lot of great draft picks, trades and has kept this team in contention every single year.

The GM of the Spurs are Pop, and R.C. Buford, I think.

about danny ainge. like glove guy said he had to do something. what good is it to constantly make the playoffs only to lose round 1 and maybe if you get a good match up in first round skim by and lose in the 2nd. he tried to build a better core of players around pierce and he really the players he did have were not that good to get him anything great. if the celtic problems should be blammed on anyone it is clearly pitino. this guy seriously set this franchise back for many many many years. i would not list ainge as the worst but i also would not put him in top 10. the team the celtics have this year is a good team, on paper. they need to start getting thier shit together. was never a fan of doc myself so i still dont like that move, but overall the blame for this season should be on the players for not getting it done. though i guess you could blame the coach since thats what most people tend to do nowadays anyway.

Best: Joe Dumars (he still has faith in Darko, so let's see what happens to Darko in a few years. He's still young.), Donnie Walsh, Popovich, and Jerry West
Worst: the mystery GM from Atlanta Hawks

pat riley gets my best and worst gm...reasons:
best: he brought shaq to miami..nuff said
worst: he's paying 20-sum million for a guy who cant shoot freethrows...and they're planning on extending his contract next year!!
seriously get up to 70% and then we can talk about giving ya 30 mill.
others in cosideration:
john weisbrod: BEST for getting t-mac out of orlando
paxson: BEST for getting a kickass defensive coach
Nash: WORST for getting a team of criminals
