What is it with the Blazers that they keep acquiring malcontents? From what I understand during their entire history up until the mid-90s the city of Portland totally embraced the team and sold out every game for what, like fifteen straight years? Granted it was the Rose Garden and the capacity was like 12,888 or something, but it's still impressive.

Not to segue selfishly into the team I follow, but that's the one thing I like about the Suns, they simply won't tolerate that sht. Hell, Colangelo shipped Jason Kidd out for pennies on the dollar (Starbury) after he batted his wife around, and he was otherwise a model citizen. I'm not sure if I'd want a head case like Randolph if it gave the Suns a 40% better chance of winning the title this year.
