The NBA announced it’s Executive of the Year award on Tuesday and, to what should the shock of nobody, Rob Pelinka was very far down the list. Monte McNair of the Sacramento Kings took first by some margin followed by Koby Altman of the Cavaliers.
Pelinka finished a very distant 11th place, receiving one second-place and one third-place vote.

The needed explainer is that this is an award voted on by fellow executives and, for obvious reasons centered around him being a former agent, Pelinka’s not well-liked!
