    I always hated Danny Ainge for taking playing time away from Drazen Petrovic and causing Drazen to ask for a trade. Maybe I should hate Rick Adelman.

    Many on here are very emotionally invested in the team and spend hours on here reading and posting. What did you expect?

    Raymond Felton - he sucked
    Bonzi Wells - surly jerk
    Jamal Crawford - brought none of his 6th man magic to the Blazers, didn't to want to be here
    Detlef Shrempf - disliked him from his Sonic days, plus his "too cool for school" demeanor

    Someone mentioned Trevor Ariza, he's my number five for giving up on the team in the bubble.

    I have less dislike for those who were with the team when they weren't going anywhere.

    Can't decide on the final spot.

    Rod Strickland, for totaling a perfectly good Mercedes-Benz on the Terwilliger curves.

    Cliff Robinson, for getting arrested paintballing people in downtown Portland, giving recreational paint ballers a bad rap.

    Damon Stoudamire, for getting caught with really good chronic and handing over a mountain of free herb to the LO police.

    Trendon Watford, for playing harder then the starters and making Jerami Grant's new contract look like a terrible idea.

    #1 most disliked Blazer ... Zach Randolph, for punching teammates and assaulting strippers, while everyone in Blazer media could not stop talking about his double doubles regardless that the Blazers totally stunk.

    I really only ever disliked Raymond Felton. I'm still not sure that GP2weeks was trying to fuck us over... I put that all on the Warriors management. There are some other players whose game I didn't love or whose off the court shit was pretty hard to stomach but overall I was cool with what they tried to bring to the floor and that's what mattered and still matters to me. I've probably spent more time complaining about CJ than anyone else but I fucking love CJ and loved him as a Blazer but I hated him next to Dame.

    So Raymond Felton is the only guy that I can come up with since I've been a fan in the mid 80s that I really feel like acted in bad faith the entire time he was here. The dude came in out of shape and didn't seem to give a fuck about our team's success. I just can't say that about anyone else, there were ups and downs but I think everyone else gave what they could.

    Other guys that annoyed me were Meyers, the inconsistency of Rider, something about Bayless, the way shit went down with Darius after his contract extension and the fact that one of the most hyped players in the history of the organization never paid off and I'm not talking about Qyntel Woods, I'm talking about the legendary RLEC not LaFrentz himself just the contract.

    Sheed was the worst Blazer ever.

    Talented? Sure. But an asshole to fans, and teammates, and the press. A choker too. And a wuss who was content to stand outside and shoot jumpers instead of taking a bit of contact.

    What a putz.

    I wrote an article about Sheed where I recall saying sometimes he had me cheering wildly and other times I wanted to wring his neck.

    What uniform is he wearing? Do you remember WCF 2000? Remember the towel in Sabonis' face? Remember "both teams played hard" for 8 months? Yeah, a real winner.

    Do you mean you want to wring his neck or I want to wring yours?

    Game 7 2000 look at box score, Sheed came so close to pulling it out.

    I'm assuming he posted in the wrong thread.

    Felton (for all the reasons stated before)
    Rueben Patterson (guy is just a horrible human being)
    Roy (because Huck the Fuskies)
    Jarrett Jack (No real reason other than didn't like his game and always had that weird scowl on his face)
    Evan Turner (He will always be linked with Olshey in my mind and the absolute waste of Dames prime)

    Raymond Felton. I didn’t like what we gave up to acquire him. He didn’t like being here. Got into it with fans. Was out of shape. What else?

    GPII kinda shit on us on his way out so he’s on my list.

    aside from that, it’s hard for me to think of players I didn’t like or root for for basketball reasons. I always found Aminu frustrating when he’d put the ball on the floor. I haven’t liked having shorter teams with CJ or Simons at the two or Powell or Hart at the three with other short players behind them. Those weren’t their fault, though.

    I was frustrated that we didn’t get more out of Covington, Nance Jr. or, especially, Greg Oden. Never disliked them bet they left me wanting more.
