    Wesley (of course), plus Channing and Lopez just because of their personalities.

    I went with Wesley, Nic, and Jack

    First two for obvious reasons but I will always remember JJ for his passion, he never took a game off, and I will always have a soft spot for him.

    I liked him a lot, and is it me or was he only good for the Blazers? Once he got traded, he not bounced around ever since but he never found that 6th man role player role he had with us.

    I selected LaMarcus. But then I remembered this isn't the Who do I Hate poll.

    So I picked Batum, Wes, and Blake. These guys are the longest tenured Blazers on the list.

    If he could really contribute that would be a great story. That guy could not catch a break!

    Don't really care (apart from Lillard.) None of our former players are the missing piece to a title or will probably have their number retired. And any future player the Blazers have will probably just be an asset. Draft them, play them and then trade them to the highest bidder.

    A few years back, didn't we try to bring him back, but he chose to sign with the Warriors instead?

    I did vote, but to be truthful I don't want anyone to come back when they are washed up. I want the blazers roster to be the top 15 players in the NBA at any given moment.

    And we are very, very close to that now...
