Within Chad Ford's Insider future franchise power rankings he includes a ranking of management: " Quality and stability of front office, ownership, coaching". So basically, the same thing as my rankings, although I don't care so much about stability or include coaching. Anyway, heres his ranks:

RANK MANAGEMENT
1 San Antonio
2 Houston
3 Okla. City
4 Portland
5 L.A. Lakers
6 Utah
7 Dallas
8 Orlando
9 Denver
10 Boston
11 Detroit
12 Miami
13 New York
14 Milwaukee
15 Cleveland
16 Toronto
17 Chicago
18 Indiana
19 Philadelphia
20 Atlanta
21 New Jersey
22 Phoenix
23 New Orleans
24 Sacramento
25 L.A. Clippers
26 Memphis
27 Minnesota
28 Washington
29 Charlotte
30 Golden State

Pretty similar to my rankings. He puts Utah much higher (stability, I guess, and coaching) as well as Philadelphia (??) and Cleveland much lower. Of course, he has personal relationships with some people (Walsh and Dumars) that make him prone to bias.

It makes sense that our rankings are similar though, since Ford is one of my favorite NBA writers and as such has some influence on my opinions.
