Average salary of a NBA general manager?

Steve Kerr left his job as a NBA analyst to become the GM of the Phoenix Suns. Does anyone know approx how much money he will earn in this new position? Or the average salary of a GM in the NBA?

I don't think there's any easy way to research that, so I'll guess by saying 1.5-2.0 million range for most. I think Kiki Vandeweghe was paid about 1 million when he was with Denver recently and he was considered one of the lowest paid GMs. I'm sure the high profile names like Jerry West pull in 3-4 mil. Kerr would definitely make a lot more being GM of Phoenix than being a TNT analyst, which would probably pay $500,000 tops--I bet he's probably in the $300-400K range. Plus a lot of these guys have giant egos where they think they can do a great job, just because they are good analysts. See Matt Millen, Detroit Lions, who was a fantastic color guy and quite possibly the worst GM in sports history!
