It's very rare for an NBA<\/a> player to spend his entire career with one franchise. Sure, it's been done on numerous occasions and some of the best players in the history of the league were able to say that they spent their entire career with the team that selected them in the NBA draft<\/a>. But more often than not, whether via free agency or trade, players end up wearing more than one uniform. And we'll be focusing on the latter today as we look at the players who were traded the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just so we're clear, this isn't a list of players that played for the most NBA teams. If someone signed with a team in free agency, that obviously doesn't count as a trade. For example, Jim Jackson is tied with three others atop the list of most franchises played for with 12 but he arrived on just seven of those teams via trade. The same can be said for former number one overall pick Joe Smith<\/a>, who was also traded seven times and played for a dozen different teams. Makes sense, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you might think that getting traded seven times is a lot and you'd be right. However, that's not the most. But you don't have to go much further to get there as the four players who were traded the most in NBA history were shipped out eight times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just who are these four travelers? Here they are in alphabetical order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
