Raps front office ranked 11: ESPN

[mcHAPPY]

For the second year in a row, we're ranking every front office in the NBA. And for the second year in a row, the Spurs are No. 1 by a wide margin.

We asked our ESPN Forecast panel to rate every team's owner, basketball decision-maker(s) and coach from 0 to 10, and we then asked the panel to tell us how important each role is.

In particular, we asked the voters to rate each team's front-office management on its guidance and leadership in terms of how it affects overall on-court success, both in the short and long term. From there, we calculated the ratings to determine the NBA's best and worst front offices.

Wow MLSE & MU must have gotten 10s to bring that average to 6.84. A respectable 0.52 for Casey.. too high, I think.

The Raps being somewhere in the middle of the pack, sounds about right. But IMO, the rankings seems too subjective to really provide much meaning.
