Wouldn't be very smart of Ray to "tank" in a contract year. He may have pouted through some games, but I don't think he tanked. He's just really that bad. For 43 games I've watched that clown shake his head at every call, complain to the refs every night - not the signs of a tanker. But if by tanking you mean trying to dribble through 3 guys 5 times a game, well then maybe I'm wrong . . .
Ray is probably my least favorite Blazer of all time. Yes I have fonder memories of Sheed, Rider, Bonzi, even Z-Bo than I ever will of Ray. Most of us were in disbelief on draft day when we passed on Faried and traded for Felton. I think Raymond was the biggest reason for the collapse. His poor play and attitude just brought everyone down. I can stay down with a guy like Wes Matthews. Wes is having a bad year, but he's still working hard and acting like a pro. Ray has just been a whiny, sarcastic, bitter, fat little distraction all season.
