It’s time to judge some of the most high-profile Taraftarium executives in the NBA.
When the lead up to the 2017 NBA trade deadline began, it wasn’t hard to imagine Sixers general manager Bryan Colangelo, Knicks team president Phil Jackson and Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge making headlines.
