Good read, but just curious as to what the criteria is. Are you looking at how good they are with the sticks, management skills, or both? I'm assuming it's both, but not sure. I'm gonna leave a few comments on tandems that I think should be higher, so don't get too offended: 1) Jay and Soccer easily have the best management skills, and they are elite with the buttons. Playing with and against them for a long time now, and having to deal with them as a GM in the past, they without a doubt are dominant in both aspects. They should be at the top. 2) Keapps and Dork should be moved up several spots. For similar reasons as Soccer and Jay, they've both been around a long time and although they may not have as much experience as the others, they are educated enough on how to build a contender. Let's not forget that they are both very skilled players. They may not necessarily put up big numbers, but they have the ability to shutdown top players. 3) Yargage and Deesa need to be moved up. Can't say I know much about Deesa, but I've seen Yargage build contending teams time in and time out back on the 360. I would almost say based on his management skills alone, they should be in the top 10. 4) BC and MVP moved up. For the most part I'd say the same reasoning as Keapps and Dork, except MVP plays more of quick transition game that leaves defenses in the dust. 5) Tanaka and Chriz absolutely moved up. He may have had a rough last couple of seasons (this one is going to be very biased on my part), but I was Tanaka's GM for a few seasons back with the Sabres and I can tell you that man is one of the best Owner's I have ever had. He always built not just playoff teams, but top contending teams. He can hold his own against top players, but more than anything else he knows how to manage a team. I don't know much about Chriz, but I imagine that he knows what he's doing. Again, good article. Just wanted to toss in another angle.
I swear on Ron Burgundy's stache if you give me attitude ONE MORE TIME, I will drag my ass outta my retirement home and whoop that ass!
