    I don't get why you and Fez pick on him so much. If you don't like his threads ignore them. He's not insulting anyone. He's not trolling.

    Favorite: Trading for Sheed. Gotta love the Sheed.

    Least: Trading ZBO (duh) for imaginary cap space. Crippled our franchise. Absolutely destroyed any planning in the hopes and saving of cap space which stopped any kind of positive roster movements. After effect was the waste of RLEC in order to get more of this cap space, which panned out horribly.

    Fav - Roy

    Least - Dre Felton

    2nd Fav touché - Dumping Z-Bo, could there be a more boring 1st option? Was so happy to get his stat chasing a$$ outta town so we could move on to the Roy era. Enjoy Z-Bo's game now, but back then he was painful to watch, jackin up shots and crying over calls.

    Let's also remember that we agreed not to draft Fahried as part of that horrendous deal.

    Least Favorite: Sending Clyde away. Not that we did, but his calling to go back to HOU and not being here anymore basically crushed the happy feelings I had of growing up with him as one of my basketball heroes. To the point that he sat next to me at the airport waiting area a few years later and I didn't say a word to him.

    Other least favorite: Nolan/Felton for Rudy/Miller/Faried.

    Favorites: the whole Bassy-for-Roy machinations....stealing Batum at 26 from SAS...Buck for Bowie. Dame for Crash may get there soon.

    (I only go back to 1985, so some old-timers might have better ones)

    Worst for me at the time and right now was Jermaine Oneal for Dale Davis

    Best for me is probably Tom Owens for the #2 pick overall in the 1984 draft. Great trade, poor execution

    I think I have a similar feeling about the Clyde trade. Showed his true self and he's continued to this day.

    I wanted him traded, but I think that's about the time I went from a diehard fan to just fan

    The Clyde trade was hard to swallow but it was really time - he wanted to move on, the team was getting older and needed to reload.

    So my least favorite is Brian Grant for Shawn Kemp. I know we heard crap after the fact, but Brian is still in the area, he was a huge fan favorite, he was known as the heart and sould of the team, he gets dealt for an over the hill out of shape druggie who can't even pay for his own damn condoms.

    Most favorite, agree, Buck Williams. He was the final piece that sent a good team to elite level although they never grabbed the biggest prize. Still a fun run. A time when I just EXPECTED Portland to win. When I scorned a 50 win season a mediocre since they were winning 60.

    I should point out that the change from diehard to more casual had less to do with trading Clyde as much as how Clyde reacted to that season and the trade and ever since.

    As for my favorite trade:

    Trading Geoff Petrie and Steve Hawes for what ended up being Maurice Lucas in the ABA draft.

    least favorite:

    Giving away Moses Fucking Malone.
