The smartest GM in the league! I always want to exchange garbage for other stars, but the big ball market has been ruined

On July 26, if the general manager in the league is ranked this offseason, how will you rank? I think just by looking at the operation this summer, Stone can rank first, Nuggets' GM can rank second, Clippers' Frank third, Celtics' young coach fourth, and Pelink can enter the top ten. Although Pelink is usually stingy, his ability to pick up bargains is indeed very good. He won Smart and Ayton at a very low price.

If we discuss the worst-running general manager in the alliance, who will you think of? I think the two are the most qualified, one is Dumas and the other is Max. Since Dumas took office as the Pelicans, he thought he could bring great changes to the team, but after the transaction sent off CJ, he had no follow-up operations. The team does not look like a team that rebuilds the team or pursues the record, which really makes people confused about what they want to do.

Max is the general manager of the Nets. When he traded Durant and Bridges, he gave people the feeling that he was quite good. He did not know how to use the first round pick. This summer they have 5 first round picks. According to common sense, the team will choose to trade the first round picks upward, but the Nets did not do that. In this case, they should trade a few. After all, the team does not have that much energy to train the five first round picks, but the Nets directly chose 5, and the choices were not very good. There is a reason why the Pelicans and the Nets have been unable to rise. They have fallen to this point. The general manager's operations are actually understandable. After all, the team is not a powerful player, and it is difficult to recruit. The Heat's operations in the past few years are indeed incomprehensible. They are considered powerful and have a big football market. Logically speaking, recruiting is easy. As a result, the Heat's strength has been falling instead of rising but falling in the past few years. They lost Butler on the trading deadline, and the team barely made it to the playoffs.

If it weren't for the top coach Spo, the Heat would have been in decline long ago. They could be said to have missed too many stars. They wanted to get Bill, but they were unwilling to take out too many chips. In the end, Bill was sent to the Suns. After Bill was bought out, the Heat recruited Bill again, but Bill had given the Heat a chance before. He also knew Riley's face, and he was obviously impatient, so he chose to join the Clippers.

Lillard also thought about coming. Generally speaking, such a big-name star wanted to come. As long as the team gave the right chips, it would be easy to complete the transaction. As a result, the Heat have always given some extremely unreasonable quotes, only giving a first-round pick and having to get a junk contract. This has caused the Trail Blazers to lose patience and finally chose to trade with the Bucks. After Lillard suffered a serious injury, the Heat had contacted the buyout coach, but Lillard was no longer interested.

Butler, who led the Heat to the finals twice, has entered the end of his career, but he still has oil in his fuel tank. Logically speaking, the team should keep him. After all, if you have him, you can reach the finals. However, in order to save money, Riley chose to refuse to renew Butler, which led to Butler's forced departure. In order to force Butler to leave, Riley was also clever and ridiculed Butler in the face of the media, which also exacerbated the intensification of the conflict between the two sides.

Rile is a typical example of putting the team's interests at the maximum, but he may have forgotten the reason for giving up and gaining money because of his age. He always wanted to exchange his own garbage contract for other outstanding players. He was not stupid, which made it difficult for Riley to complete excellent signings. In Durant's previous transaction, he was unwilling to give Will or get more first-round picks, and he missed it. In the transaction between the Jazz and the Clippers, he found a vacancy and won Powell.

But Powell is an excellent blue-collar worker and seems to be unable to increase the team's ceiling. Recently, he heard that Riley has also chased Smart. They wanted to trade with Rozier and Wizards. As a result, when the Wizards and Smart saw that they were so insincere, they directly chose to buy out. Rozier has a premium contract, and a contract of 26 million yuan for one year. What's more important is that Rozier is now being investigated by the FBI for suspected betting on football. Riley, such players, is he really treating others as fools?

Looking back at Riley's previous operating career, he is a legend. It can be said that from the beginning of his leadership of the Heat until before 2015, the Heat were all giant teams under his leadership, but as he grew older, Riley seemed a little confused. Riley is now 80 years old and is at the age of retirement, but he just stays at this position and refuses to leave. He thinks he is okay. Considering his contribution to the team, the team boss is embarrassed to drive him away. I think if Riley does not retreat, it will be difficult for the Heat to reach the level of championship again.

It's just a loss for Spoo, who has such excellent operating ability but does not have good cards in hand. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Heat? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
