    Other than draft picks (so players like Pat Riley, Bub Carrington, Isaiah Stewert for example don't count), or players that played as little as 1 game (Brian Shaw), who are the best players to be Blazers but never actually play a regular season game?

    Mostly talking about trades or FA signings that never actually played a game as a Blazer.

    So far my list is:

    Mike Miller
    Festus Ezeli
    Pau Gasol
    Stevie Francis (actually completely forgot about him)


    Honorable mentions: Trenton Hassell and Hedo Turky-glue.

    Moses Malone? Though, he was an ABA expansion draft pick...

    oooh shit, totally forgot about the GOAT! Good catch.

    I was going to include Jrue, but it's likely he won't be traded before he plays a game.

    Yeah, I kinda forgot about him. BUT I guess technically he wouldn't qualify based on my criteria. Tho for as much as they spent to get the pick only to throw it away...typical Blazermania.

    Right, Ramon. Blazers paid for care and rehab although no legal obligation. But right thing to do. He wasn't wearing seat belt.

    Trenton Hassell was never a Blazers, unless you consider Paul Millsap to have been a Blazer, or Nic Batum a Timberwolve.

    Hassell was probably the most bizarre in that they had a press conference.

    Hedo and Chandler Parsons never were Blazers either even though rumored in free agency.

    Elliot Williams I was super excited about but his knees failed him. He did play 24 games as a Blazer though.

    Ezili never played a game though.

    That's why he was an honorable mention.
