Not very Thorn'esque moves, I think he has taken a backseat already.

On the same article Mitch Kupchek of the lakers is on the list looking like an idiot:

Kupchak: I'd be lying if I said it didn't. When we made the Kwame trade, I was thinking to myself, "This is it, this is the one, now maybe people will start talking about me." Well, it didn't happen. Then the season starts, and Kwame's just a complete stiff … still, nothing. Then Phil [Jackson] goes on the record and calls Kwame a "p----." Nothing. People in Los Angeles just don't care. When you look at what I've done in L.A., it's amazing, really. I traded the best center in the history of basketball 19 months ago, and all we have to show for it is an unhappy Lamar Odom, Kwame and Brian Grant's eight-figure buyout. And yet, nobody mentions me. No offense, Isiah, but you don't realize how lucky you are -- when you screw up, everyone goes crazy. I built a team in which Smush Parker is our third-best player and the 10th-best guy on the Clippers would play 40 minutes a night for us -- yet does anyone ever talk about me? Of course not. It pisses me off.

Of course, Lakes got two chips recently and Mitch looks like a freaking Einstein!!!

My point? Gm's make mistakes. The good ones learn from them. Its easy to pick out the mistakes.

THe question is are Lucky GM's better suited for future jobs? Is an unlucky one also attracted?

Owners have agendas and hamstring their GMs somtimes forcing them to make bad choices.

So somtimes a GM with a mixed record might be better suited to identify certan cituations.
