Where do you get the idea he's a bottom 5 GM? Have you looked to see how long certain GM's have been in place across the league? Because I wouldn't say the Suns have been run the 5th worst within the 4-5 years he's been here. I'd say the Knicks, Nets, Magic, Blazers, Kings, Lakers, Memphis, Atlanta, and Chicago have been managed worse than the Suns over the last few years and that's just off of the top of my head. I didn't look to see how long GM's have been in place for those teams but going off of their salary flexibility, recent trades, and where the direction they're headed. I'd put McD's management of the Suns ahead of those teams GM's. He hasn't tried cashing in his assets yet and he says he will do that this summer. We'll see what happens but I think he deserves the opportunity to see that through. He's drafted well for the most part since he's been here. Some players don't pan out, that happens everywhere though. He's managed to add in 2 very good pieces in Booker and Warren, with Booker being a legit star taken at #13.
Atlanta was the #1 seed in the East not long ago and they've lost all of their All-Stars for nothing. Brooklyn hasn't had their own 1st round pick since they've been awful, Portland is at the Luxury Tax line for a rather mediocre 8th seed and they lost Aldridge for nothing, the Knicks have been a mess for a while, the Bulls had a good team not long ago but they got rid of Thibs for Hoiberg and they've gotten worse each year since and have lost a number of talented players for essentially nothing of value in return. Memphis has no good young talent and are the worst team in the league right now.
