It's hard to imagine that a magazine like Forbes can be so wrong.  (See #3)

The fact that Billy King is on that list anywhere is laughable, let alone #3.  But the rankings were heavily determined by comparing the current GM vs the final 3 years of his predecessor so I guess that's why King ranked so high because the Sixers were absolutely abysmal before he came in.  He also had the luxary of having Pat Croce by his side for a few years and Croce is who was responsible for the Sixers turn around imo, not King. 

The fact that Banner isn't on there is laughable too.  I hate that little bastich because he refuses to spend a single penny extra on a player if they don't feel he's worth it but you still can't dispute the fact that since Banner has played a major role in the Eagles success in the last several years.

I almost posted this yesterday.  The list is so wrong on so many levels, I thought I should waste my time somewhere else, like looking at Biel vs. Alba pictures.

I guess they didn't list Banner as the GM because he really isn't  a "GM". The Eagles don't have a representative on that list. Its the 4 headed monster of Lurie/Banner/Reid/Heckert

If they do weigh it heavily based in comparison to the previous GM, then I would hope Gillick's stock skyrockets in the next few years; hopefully...
