Forbes has ranked the best general managers in sports, based on how much his team wins in relation to payroll. Timberwolves GM Kevin McHale comes out on top. Not surprisingly, Raiders GM Michael Lombardi is dead last (98), even behind Matt Millen (96).

Here’s how the locals fared:

Scott Pioli, New England Patriots: 20

Theo Epstein, Boston Red Sox: 30

Mike O’Connell, formerly of the Boston Bruins: 73

Danny Ainge, Boston Celtics: 92
