Not late at all -- taking nominations until midnight...or whenever I get to putting up the voting threads.

Quarantine haze. Literally thought today was Friday until you said that

Winston Bennett

​

Anthony Bennett wasn't the only Bennett the Cavaliers drafted. The Cavs selected Winston Bennett out of Kentucky in the 3rd round of the 1988 draft. Bennett was a 6'7 small forward who actually started 34 of his 55 games during his rookie year of 1988-89. He shared the starting SF spot with Chucky Brown and the aforementioned Randolph Keys. What a trio!!!

Bennett only lasted 3 seasons and 136 career games but he might be most remembered by this fact, he admitted to sleeping with 90 women a MONTH. Yes Bennett was a sex addict. He was stiff quite often apparently.

Winston Bennett, Sex Addict: I Slept With 90 Women A Month (VIDEO)
Winston Bennett played in the NBA during the late 1980s and early 90s, and while he may have been known for his on-court ability, he harbored an off-court passion that nearly consumed him.
In an interview with ESPN’s “Outside the Lines,” Bennett details his sex addiction, explaining that he slept with 90 women per month before he got married — and approximately half that total after his wedding.
He says he would meet the women seemingly anywhere: “Malls, restaurants — let’s not forget — prostitutes, massage parlors.” His obsession with sex occupied huge swaths of time. “I spent a great deal of time either having sex, cruising for sex, calling for sex, looking for sex,” Bennett told ESPN. He “very seldom” used protection.

Bennett’s basketball career afforded him an “unbelievable” dating life. “One was never enough,” he said. “Three or four in a day was very typical for me.” Just one day after getting married, Bennett says he slept with another woman, and he later gave his wife two sexually transmitted diseases.

We also need a general manager. This is no contest. Don Delaney --

Don Delaney (January 3, 1936 – February 16, 2011)[1] was an American professional basketball coach, who served as head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the early 1980s. Delaney also served as the team's general manager.

Former Cavaliers owner Ted Stepien signed Delaney to a one-year contract to be the team's head coach in March 1981. Delaney compiled a 7–21 record over the 1980–81 and 1981–82 seasons.

An article in the January/February 2004 issue of Basketball Digest listed Delaney as one of the five worst coaches in NBA history.

According to the 1980–81 Cleveland Cavaliers media guide, Delaney was the head coach at Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, Ohio, and Dyke College (now Chancellor University) in Cleveland, compiling a 200–101 record over 11 seasons. At Lakeland, Delaney also served as chairman of the physical education department.

Prior to coaching in college, Delaney was a high school coach at Kirtland High School in Kirtland, Ohio.

He graduated cum laude from Kent State University, where he earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
He was also the guy that ran one of Ted's professional softball teams.

He was a truly terrible coach, but that pales in comparison to his record as a GM. The NBA actually placed a trade moratorium on the Cavaliers for a few months. Just check out the list of actions:

Must nominate for our most beloved stiff ...

What I was saying earlier, about learning new things because of this thread? There you go.

90 women a month? Step aside LeBron, we have a new Cavs all-time scoring leader. No wonder he lasted only three seasons -- he was too worn out to go on.

And most of them raw dog? How his wife got away with catching only two STDs from him is a miracle.

As you noted, bonus points for being such a...stiff. Incredible.

I checked his advanced stats -- absolutely brutal. In three NBA seasons he had negative numbers for offensive box +/-, Defensive box +/- AND VORP. He started 45 games for us one year.

Definitely a strong candidate.

Ok I know this is cruel but it has to be done:

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

We're going to need a separate "Worst GM" thread because of the midnight deadline tonight on this one, and it is likely to be a discussion that gets pretty long. Can someone else please start it?

 

[2 For The Brew]

I remember watching this guy play ...

 

[rabman_gold]

Here's the ones off the top of my head that I remember (un)fondly:

• Vitaly Potapenko
  • 177 games, 17 minutes, 6 points and 3 boards a game
• Andrew DeClercq
  • 115 games, 23 minutes, 7 points and 5 boards a game
• Cedric Henderson
  • Whatever happened to this guy after his rookie season?
• Mark Bryant
  • NBA skills aside, one of several NBA players born on my birthday (along with Tim Duncan)
• Robert Traylor
  • RIP
• Bimbo Coles
  • 115 games, 17 minutes, 4 points and 2 assists a game
• Bryant Stith
  • Change the "th" to "ff" in his last name and, what do you get?
• Brian Skinner
  • 65 games, 17 minutes, 3 points and 4 boards a game
• Jumaine Jones
  • Does he count?
• Michael Doleac
  • Got him for Brendan Haywood in the draft
• Lucious Harris
  • I thought he'd be as good as he was for the Nets, but clearly lost to father time
• Smush Parker
  • Name aside, was a one-time teammate of Kobe Bryant
• Scot Pollard
  • "Hey kids. Do drugs."
• Shannon Brown
  • Waste of potential
• Jawad Williams
  • 90 games, 12 minutes, 3 points and 1 rebound a game; a former Lakewood OH High School graduate
• Tarence Kinsey
  • Because how can you forget who the third string point guard who played the majority of his time in the fourth quarter blowouts in 2009?

Well, that's the best I got...

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH. We turned V into Andre Miller

Good point. But we only had 'Dre for 3 years and turned him into Darius... And turned him into McInnis. If only we had him when we drafted LeBron...

Gerald Madkins

This 6'4" shooting guard was supposed to be another gem unearthed by Wayne Embry. He joined the cavaliers before the 1993-94 season on a surprisingly rich 2 year deal - but he had earned it... after all he had just been named Rookie of the Year... in the CBA.

After averaging less than 1 assist and 2 points per game over two seasons for the Cavaliers, he was out of the league for 2 years before reemerging for 19 games with the Golden State Warriors.

And yet, his post-playing career is somehow worse than his playing days - he is currently an assistant general manager for... the New York Knicks.

Played 3 quarters on a broken foot. I can't judge him stiff due to it
