Team management is a combination of coaching, GMing, and ownership.

We rank behind only San Antonio and Golden State.

Deserved for C's , but if you ask me i would change some positions for some teams:

Mavs and Jazz should be even higher

Wizzards should be way lower

Nice. Can't believe the Kings didn't make the top 5. ;D

Always fun to compare to previous years.

Boston was 3rd last year as well (but GS was 1 and SAS was 2), in the comparable, but not identical management section of the future power rankings.

And in 2015, Boston finished 7th overall (9th in management, 9th in coaching, 7th in ownership).

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

That's so funny because not one thing has changed for us in those areas. It just means we were underrated!

Well, just like players, coaches/GMs/owners can improve too!  Other teams can get worse as well.

I wouldn't trade our owners for any other in the league. They seem to actually love the team, they're willing to spend what it takes to win, and they seem involved without meddling. It seems like the basketball people are free to do their jobs.

About as good as we can hope for on that front.

Lakers front office is # 1

In soap opera TV entertainment and comedy.

The Phil Jackson connection , Jean Buss ,  Magic Johnson and the dysfunctional Buss  family feud is comical .  Throw in guest appearances of Dwight Howard , Metta Peace , other strange characters .


Somewhere in all this Payton place they are suppose to field a basketball team . 

Celtics - Coach, GM, Owner (they're all top 3!)

"The Spurs and Warriors are well out in front of the pack, but the Celtics finished third in all three categories."

What an excellent position to be in!

And with cap space and primo draft picks to boot!!

We all talk a lot about Ainge and Stevens, as we should, but people tend to overlook our ownership group. They are a major reason for the success of this franchise.
