Some good players that were good often do get traded to a not-so-good or not-so-flashy team and get forgotten. But in terms of still being contributors? Guys like Glen Rice, Tom Gugliotta, and Steve Smith were once all-stars... But now they are reduced to 5 minutes a game and like 2 points (Rice plays more but still only gets 8 points or so...). I'm sorry, but that is no contribution! These players are forgotten for a reason!
And some guys mentioned like Steve Kerr have always only been marginal contribtors at best. Steve Kerr is 5 minutes a game, and all he can do is hit a shot. Granted, he may hit the right ones, but still, he was never an all-star and has no reason to merit attention.
Juwan Howard, Derrick Coleman, Penny Hardaway, Brent Barry, Antonio Davis, it's guys like these who put up around 15 points and a decent amount of rebounds and/or assists that don't get the attention they still deserve.
