Yes, the GM can have a big impact, but GMs that can turn a team around are still a minority in the NBA. For every Colangelo you have a Geoff Petrie who doesn't do anything while the goddam Maloof brothers ruin the legacy of the Kings and somehow pushes the blame on Rick Adelman.
(sorry, just bitter
) And Jerry West's position on that list is
slightly questionable as of late IMO.
