I wonder how much it sucks after you buy a house, unpack all of your stuff, only to find out you have to sell that place and re-pack everything. I guess the tour continues. Coming to a press conference near you...
Sucks plenty, I'm sure... assuming he's bought a house and all that. I wouldn't be surprised if he's either (a) waiting for the flurry of trades to settle, and/or (b) maintaining a residence wherever he wishes to live, and planning on renting wherever he finally lands. If I recall correctly, Mike James mentioned in a Wizards article that he only rents because he moves around so much.
while it's probably not tons of fun, give me $50 million in career earnings and i could probably learn to deal with it. hell, just give me the $9 million he'll be making while on tour this year and i'd move every day. and besides, people with $50 million probably aren't doing a lot of the packing/unpacking themselves.
Do you really think he's bought a house and unpacked after each of these trades? Each trade probably interrupted his vacation for about 5 minutes.
Would He have the record of being traded so much in just one off season? A journey man in just one off season.
Jim Jackson holds the record for the most times traded in an NBA career, he played for 12 teams in a 14 year career but he was never traded 3 times in one season. I would say that Q would hold the record if he gets traded to his 4th team this offseason and I can't recall anyone being traded 3 times in the offseason, so he may hold the record at 3.

I've never understood the fascination with Q-Rich. He's an overrated player past his prime and why there are even "entertainment" trades for him is beyond me.
i dont think he's affected by it as much as people think. he's at his home getting calls from his agent. it's not like he's flying from city to city. now if this were during the season...
He was decent his last year with the Clippers. That season staked his reputation. His one season in Phoenix didn't hurt either but he tossed up WAY too many long-balls and become one-dimensional.
When is Clutchfans going to trade a couple of G-Mail accounts for Q-Rich? Anyways, I think a perfect place Q-Rich could play for is the Hornets. All Q-Rich needs is a PG to set him up to shoot 3 pointers. See what he did in 2005. He was amazing that year and the main/sole reason why he was, was because of Steve Nash and he was the MVP that year. Also, If I recall correctly Q-Rich did win the 3 point shootout that year in All-Star Weekend Denver.
New York (big market) to Memphis (small market) to LA (big market) to Minnesota (small market) to Miami (big market) i wonder if he is going to the Thunder next
