Yea I meant ones that you hated.
Haywood, Antoine wright, Deavean George, Lamar odom
Barbosa and Diaw.
Barbosa because he was stupid as , choked when it mattered, and for whatever reason got credit for a strong work ethic when he didn't add anything to his game while he was here.
Diaw because he was lazy as and would have made the 2007 Suns unstoppable if he actually tried hard.
I hated Marion the last season but he for the most part did all you could expect from him in his situation. I've gotten sick and tired of Nashketball but I don't hold it personally against Nash but moreso fans who'd rather watch Nash for another 2 years than start rebuilding now.
I also hate A LOT of current day Suns players (Warrick, Childress, Frye, Brown, Robin Lopez, etc.).
Dennis ing Rodman.
Vinny Del Negro. Lazy .
Our succession of ty post-Robinson post players lining up next to Duncan, not counting Horry.
No particular order
Pippen
Kelvin Cato
Bryce Drew
Brad Miller
Kevin Martin
Aaron Brooks
Terrance Williams
Stromile Swift
Trevor Ariza
Yao
I have a feeling in two or three years I'm going to strongly dislike Tristan Thompson if he's still here because a.) he's still going to suck and b.) Cavaliers fans are still going to pretend that he's eventually going to not suck.
Others: Larry Hughes, Bob Sura (I wanted Michael Finley in the '95 draft and they took this tool instead), Jiri Welsch, Omri Casspi.
EDIT: Not a real big Mo Williams fan, either.

Matt Bonner/Mike Finley
Not hated as individuals, but hated to see them get minutes based on irrational respect from the coach.
Dislike is a better word. You cant hate someone you haven't even met.
From the Spurs I dislike Blair a ton and dont really care for Bonner whatsoever.
Lakers- Bynum, Blake, Ebanks
Mavs- Marion, Delonte
Knicks- Smith, Bibby, Jeffries
Hawks- ALL OF THEM!
That's about all that I can think of at the moment.
I'd take Barbosa, Diaw and Marion back in a second. Much better than the likes of Childress, Warrick, Shannon Brown etc.
What cracks me up is how Barkley rips on Lebron for not "doing it on his own".
I want to scream "Werent you on a team with Scottie Pippen AND Hakeem Olajuwon?!!!"
Ariza and Kaman.
Only after spending his entire career as the only superstar on teams. He was well into his 30s when he went to the Rockets. Still a good player, but closer to the Celtics trio than the Heat's. It's one thing to sort of combine deteriorating skills late in a career. It's something entirely weaker to join forces as 26-28 year-olds in your primes to manufacture a potential dynasty.

Barkley tried to do it on his own for over 10 years and didn't request a trade to a contender until after several back surgeries. Just not even close to the same.
As for the question... Ainge. Hate that weaselly little punk.
Then transplants like Horry or Ellie who killed the Suns as Rockets.
Then D'Antoni, who's a coach, but barely one.
Quality Sun fans making a comeback

When did Barkley have back surgery?
Answer: After his career was over.
When did Barkley demand a trade?
Answer: Summer 1996.
Likewise, if Barkley was doing it "on his own" when he came to the Suns as a 29 year old, then Kevin Johnson, Dan Majerle, Danny Ainge, Tom Chambers, Cedric Ceballos and later AC Green and Danny Manning are truly underrated.
Back rehab, then... fact of the matter is, Barkley was hobbled for years prior to demanding the trade.
As for the team, they may all indeed be underrated, but KJ with Barkley was a thrice-operated PG, not the 22-11 force pre 1992, Chambers was in decline and only on the 1992-93 team, and Majerle was shown to be a quality, but unspectacular player in Cleveland and Miami. Ceballos could score, and did whenever he wasn't injured, but he was injured a lot, and was then traded to LA. Manning was solid, but oft-injured and was in decline as well, and AC Green and Ainge were nothing but role players at best.
Nobody wins the le by themselves (save for maybe Hakeem in 1994), but the point is that Barkley had only a few select random All-Stars, several in decline former All-Stars, but no dominant All-Stars or other Superstar, not even in the same way that Payton had Kemp, Malone had Stockton, Jordan had Pippen, etc.
So, after trying to be the man on some mediocre to talented teams but do so without the aid of a true dominant #2 for roughly 12 years, an aging and now often injured Barkley requested a trade to a previous champion that still had a shot at a ring with his addition.
It's not anywhere close to a 26-YO, in-prime MVP joining forces with two other in-prime All-Stars in a manufactured venture to win a decade's worth of les outside of the cir stantial aspects of a regular 10-12-year prime career.

Lamar Odom

2008-2010 Michael Finley, Matt Bonner, and Richard Jefferson are obvious choices. But I hated all of them.
I also didn't like Beno Udrih.
Another player I hated that didn't get much hate when he was here was Roger Mason Jr. The er wanted to be traded but he couldn't hit a ing 3 pointer to save his life.
Vinny Del Negro
Samaki Walker
Steve Smith
Paul Pressey
Beno Udrih
