Which Blazer player, brought in during the regular season, turned out to be the biggest chemistry-buster in the long run? I immediately thought of Detlef and Rod, but you may have someone else in mind. The main reason I ask is because they were saying on Courtside that player chemistry definitely factored in KP's decision-making process.
Damon Stoudamire. In the playoffs he publically complained and scoffed about not finishing the games. caused the blazers to have a cog thrown in the machine. that and his general suckiness to dribble out the shotclock.
Bob Whittsitt. Pretty hard to blame any single player when it was Trader Bob's moves that set the team up to implode the way it did.
Strickland gets a bum rap. Just because poor little Damon got his nose out of joint doesn't mean it was Rod's fault. Damon was already a problem in the locker-room before Rod arrived.
Agreed. The cake was an absolute mess of ingredients back then. Trader Bob didn't exactly stick to a recipe.
Tossup between Pippen and Greg Anthony as to whose arrival ruined team chemistry the most, but Quick and Canzano have done the most direct damage to it over the years by far.
