Abbott: A Number Of NBA GMs Are Basically Lazy

Henry Abbott of ESPN.com writes that the GMs for a number of lottery teams aren't exactly killing themselves on the job.
------------------------------
In researching this story, I was told about a GM of a struggling team who, as described to me by a source well-positioned to know, showed up for work "less than part time." As in, a few hours a week.
...
I have since talked to people with two other teams who say their GMs just don't work very much -- that's four such current GMs I've been told about so far this week. None of those teams is likely to make the playoffs either, which means all four of those teams are due to get a sweet player in June for being lousy at their jobs.
------------------------------
According to team sources, Portland's GM has flat out never been in the office this season.
Honest question: Would you rather have a lazy GM or no GM?
