    Mine would have to be Jim Jackson...Loved this guys game I cant imagine why he couldnt stick on any team, I know he was here for like 2.24 seasons but that still counts as Rented Rocket IMO.

    If anyone can tell me, why didnt he ever make a home on one team? He was traded soooo many times its insane.

    As much as I hate to say it, mine is Ron Artest.

    Yeah he ditched us, whatever, but he was still important in helping us get past the first round.

    Ron Artest.

    2nd round playoffs after a long drought for a cheap one year rental.

    Crazy bang for the buck.

    Seconded. That squad for the half season he was here had a LOT of potential. It's sad, in a way...

    Bob Sura's one of my faves too.

    Back then I really wished Bobby Sura would come back from recovery on his back surgery. He's a decent guy, liked him on this team.

    And Von Wafer should be up there as well.

    Somebody give this man a cookie. He's wise beyond his years. Very clever stuff. I mean, who could have came up with such amazing material?

    Von Wafer.

    Dazzling dunks, too bad he became a selfish ass.

    Thanks for the compliment. :mad:

    Maybe I would vote Bob Sura. Oh wait, he would have also played for more than a year had he not gotten injured...
