Bobby Jones - 5 teams in 1 year
Don't know how many people have heard of this guy but I find his 2 year NBA journey (so far) pretty extrodinary. He's played for 6 teams over 2 years and 5 of those teams all in his second year.
he was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the 2006 NBA Draft and shortly thereafter traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Philadelphia's 2007 second-round draft pick. On September 10, 2007, Jones was traded along with Steven Hunter to the Denver Nuggets. He was waived by the Nuggets on January 7, 2008. He signed with the Memphis Grizzlies on January 10 which didn't get renewed. On February 26, he was signed to a ten-day contract with the Houston Rockets which again didn't get renewed. On March 12, he signed another ten-day contract, this time with the Miami Heat. On April 1, he signed a ten-day contract with the San Antonio Spurs, but still found hiself unable to score a permanent job. After that contract expired on April 11, Jones was re-signed by the Denver Nuggets for the rest of the 2007-08 season. On July 28, 2008, he was traded to the New York Knicks. One day later he was released by the Knicks. On August 5, 2008, Bobby Jones was claimed by the Miami Heat off waivers. On August 15, 2008 he was waived on August 15, 2008.
What does a guy have to do to score a job? Must be a pain moving cities and adjusting 5 times in one season. Wonder if he's had enough and will give europe a shot. One things for sure. He he keeps going for the NBA, you'd have to admire the dudes persistence. Be pretty demoralizingly getting shown the door that many times in one season.
