I don't hate Scottie Pippen. If I did then I would have to hate Steve Francis, which I don't, and that would make me a hypocrite. Francis did the same thing to Vancouver that Pippen did to Houston. Of course, Pippen broke the players code of not verbally trashing a team player in public. All-Time: Mirsad Turkcan - How many people have seen what da hell this guy looks like? To me, he is just a name that I will never forget....nice move Rudy. Must have downed a couple of Miller Lite's before this pick. Bryce Drew: WTF X 2? We already have Brent Price and Matt Maloney. We could have had the future of the Seattle Sonics...but oh no. I'm not bitter For every Robert Horry, Sam Cassell, Cuttino Mobley, and Othella Harrington's...we draft John Turner, Bryce Drew, Mirsad Turkcan, Jason Collier, Dan Langhi, Rodrick Rhodes, Albert Burditt (sp?), Erik Meek, Serge Zwikker, Eric Riley, Richard Petruska.

You wouldn't have to hate Francis because he did not do that to us. We gained a great player and it was Vancouver's loss. When we got rid of Pippen, we got rid of the ugliest player in the NBA, hauling his unwanted, overpaid @$$ to Portland and hurt the Blazers. I do see where you are coming from. Pippen is my most hated player in the NBA of all time. My brother's friend asked for his autograph and all Pippen did was look at him. The difference between him and a bag of shi* is the bag. ------------------

That Hamilton guy from last year...you know...what's his name...couldn't jump..pissed off rudy and got canned...you know.. ------------------ "Weathermen are simply con-artists with radar equipment.

YEAH! that's him! ------------------ "Weathermen are simply con-artists with radar equipment. A 50 percent chance of rain? That's the same as saying 'maybe, maybe not.' I could tell you that!" - P. Mesku
oh please. Maloney wanted to get cut? he had a bad start to the season and then Rudy fell in love with Mobley. Matt was never given a second chance to redeem himself. ------------------
Tod the Bod got my three. The Cali-Cartel. Sweet-Lou John Lucas Mitchel Wiggins If we had Lucas we would have won, throw in Lou, and Wiggins and we would have had it in 4. ------------------ ``It's bigger than chalupas,''.....Wesley Person
It's a little early to be lumping Langhi and Collier in with these others, don't you think? And don't forget, every team that ever existed drafted some players that sucked. I mean, every team gets second round picks, and it would be stupid to just say, "I don't want to draft this round, because it might mess up my drafting record if I got someone who turned out to be a bust." The majority of second round picks (especially late second rounders like we had for so long during our playoff years) more often than not cannot cut it, and are traded or released or whatever. The fact is that, overall, regardless of past failures, Rudy, CD, and Les have made great decisions when it comes to the draft. ------------------ "Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Gotta go with Pippen. He tried to pick up my date once, though. So I'm prejudiced. Gascon ------------------ Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead. No, wait, not me...you.
Winston Garland - hands down. that "PG" cost us a run to the finals in 93 vs the sonics in 7 games. for us to even have been in a position to be that close is a tribute to hakeem. anyone he guarded just ate the man alive, like hannibal. eww. ------------------ purvis was never short.
That would be hypocritical. I don't hate Scottie Pippen for what he did, but I don't love him either. To me, he's just eh for what he did....a Portland Trailblazer now. He is an enemy, and for that I do hate him. Now, I love Stevie Franchise. ------------------
I didn't hate him, but Ralph Sampson frustrated me more than any Rocket in history. If he had lived up to his potential, the Twin Towers might have gone on a Jordanesque run of championships. ------------------
