You got receipts for Rider getting blackballed? Most of the arrests and shyt and the cell phone incident happened WHILE teams were still giving him chances. That shyt was all still going on in the mid-1990s, and the Blazers, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Denver, all tried to make it work anyway after that shyt.
I saw him a lot on the Blazers, and while his talent was pretty, it started feeling pretty worthless to have him on your team. Blazers traded him to Atlanta even though he was the leading scorer on the team, and the team looked MUCH better with a lesser talent, Steve Smith, in that place. Lakers had him during the regular season in 2001 and didn't even keep him for the playoff roster. Five different teams gave him minutes, but none of them wanted to keep him. It ain't just the off-court stuff, it's that he's such an iso-heavy player and not a particularly good decision maker, so it's hard to make him jell with the rest of your team.
