    People love D-Mo.... I don't have any ill-will towards him due to this saga... it's just business.

    First thing I thought about was Pippen, but then I think Jeremy Lin might be up there as well. I didn't live through the Jerry Lin era, I was just on the periphery of it.

    The sad part is he has no idea how lucky he is to make that kind of money instead of busting his .......making pennies on the dollar. He got paid to do nothing most of last year, and isn't even in basketball shape. Who knows if he will be injury prone, and how long it will take to get to where he needs to be to even contribute on our team.

    I am suspecting that he is holding out because he does not believe his body will get him past this contract. He has to get all the $$ he can now.

    most hated? Not by a long shot. It would take a lot to upseat Scottie Quitten.

    I don't consider Derek Fisher to have ever been a part of the Rockets, so he's not even worth mentioning.

    No. Happy to have him back, not sad if doesn't. We need a defensive player who also is a rebounder. He provides neither but he is a hustle player.

    This is just business. It is easy to see why DMo's camp did what they did. If DM and BJ have one last pow-wow, deal done. Give to get.

    Why hate on him? He wants to play where he wants to play. Just like we choose where we want to work. If the NBA rules don't favor him, so be it. He's an adult, he can take the consequences of his decision.

    For me, it's not the money. He just wants to play somewhere else.

    He may be if he ends up on the Jazz and plays moderately well. That would put him at least top 3.

    Pippen
    Fisher (lol)
    Motiejunas....

    Agree. I don't know that any player will ever outdo Scottie Pippen as most hated Rocket for me.

    Scottie Pippen
    Charles Barkley
    Royce White
    Tracy McGrady
    Jeremy Lin
    Chandler Parsons
    Vassilis Spanoulis
    Sergio Llull

    He's got some competition with other polarizing players.

    I don't hate somebody for being stupid. I feel bad for them.
