I really like Jordan, but he can't seem to be a winner outside of PLAYING basketball. Isiah is actually getting better finally. He made a mess of the Knicks at first and they might be getting better this year. I'm thinking Jordan should maybe be more of a one on one coach or just be a spectator. I don't know why, but he has bad luck being a GM or anything other than a player.

Intriguing question you have here. How about I expand your topic some more? Here are a few people in the NBA that I think should not be seen performing any duties outside their job description.Danny Ainge should stick to his GM position instead of playing the role of a scout and taking soccer moms (Kevin Durant) to Celtic games.Mark Cuban should stick to his role as owner of the Dallas Mavericks instead of playing the role of a commentator on NBA rules and David Stern's boss.L.A. Lakers owner Jerry Buss should not interfere with the team's basketball operations and let Mitch Kupchak do his job. That means don't draft a point guard in this year's draft especially when Phil Jackson's triangle offense don't need one.Michael Jordan should of sticked to the role of the Washington Wizard's general manager instead of coming out of retirement and disgracing an already exceptional NBA career.Kobe Bryant needs to stick to and focus on improving in the game of basketball and not get consumed with his celebrity status by competing with Paris Hilton for top headlines in the tabloids.Joey Crawford needs to pull his head out of his a55 and start acting more like a veteran referee instead of playing the role of a security bouncer at a club by throwing people out all the time.Rasheed Wallace needs to keep his temper in check and focus on winning basketball games for his team instead of playing the role of a drama queen on a daily soap opera show.Carmelo Anthony needs to be more professional for an NBA star of his talent instead of trying to be a thug and ****er punching other players, only to backpedal in the opposite direction like a freaked out schoolgirl afterwards.Zach Randolph needs to realize that he is filthy rich and stop playing the role of a cheap scape by ripping off strippers and not paying for lap dances.Ron Artest needs to realize that he is being paid to play the role of a professional basketball player and stop acting like a thug by spreading chaos to every team he goes to.

Larry Bird is a pretty good GM also. And even though Mitch Kupchak gets a lot of criticism, I don't really think he's the one making the decisions there. Jerry West was a fantastic GM for the Grizzlies. Plus you forgot Danny Ainge and Kevin McHale as former players/horrible GMs.
