    Kenny Anderson is probably my #1. I was kinda pissed when they traded him for Damon. I was excited b/c Damon was supposed to be dope but I really didn't like him all that much. I like Kenny's game and his attitude in Portland, he really got hosed by Dunleavy.

    He has a documentary coming out soon, so that should be exciting.

    My first thought was Jermaine O'Neal. They delayed his stardom. But then, they did trade him to where he could break out. I guess in this case the franchise shafted the fans more than anything....

    Drazen Petrovic too. He's actually my all time favorite player and I was fucking pissed the Blazers wouldn't let him get his time. I know Drexler was there, but there was definitely room in the rotation.

    this is my choice too Drazen was the biggest talent to ride the pine, runner up..Andre Miller or Jermaine O'neal..Miller for Felton will never be forgiven

    Anderson is probably the right answer, he didn't even report to Toronto did he? I seem to remember him being super duper pissed.

    I am still not over trading away Calvin Natt, Wayne Cooper and Fat Lever for a season and a half of Kiki "Zero D" V. So...who got screwed the most?

    He kept on supersizing his Big Mac meals, even after his financial adviser threatened to resign...

    Jerm sure wasn't going to be the answer to Shaq. Dale Davis had just played Shaq better than anybody in the league. The trade was sound - it just didn't work out.

    If the Blazers would have won a championship that Jermaine O'Neal trade would have looked genius.

    Too many to list. Juwan Howard, Ime Udoka, Steve Blake, Viktor Khryapa...Getting shafted (being unappreciated) is the main criterion I use to determine my favorite players.

    Steve Blake kinda deserved the shaft b/c of that one time he told his Laker teammates about what we were going to do every play.

    Yes, Blake had a long career so he's only half on my list. But getting dumped 3 times pushes him up the list.

    The richer they got, the less I feel sorry for them.
