LAWRENCE Frank of the Los Angeles Clippers is the NBA’s executive of the year.
The league announced the voting Thursday (Friday, Manila time). Frank got 10 of the 29 first-place votes, while Oklahoma City’s Sam Presti was second and Miami’s Pat Riley was third. There were 11 different executives with at least one first-place vote and 18 got a vote for first, second or third.
The Lakers’ Rob Pelinka was seventh.
“Once we finish our job and do what we’re supposed to do, then I don’t think no one is going to care about Executive of the Year,” Lakers forward Anthony Davis said.
Unlike most NBA end-of-season awards, the media panel is not involved in the executive voting. Only the executives themselves cast ballots for that award.
