3. Don Maclean
Don Maclean
Maclean was a 19th overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft. He had the dubious honour of being the first player in the NBA to be suspended for using performance enhancing drugs when he tested positive for steroid use in 2000.
Stats: 9 seasons. 10.9 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 1.3 APG, Won the NBA Most Improved Player award in 1994.
Career Trades: Eight. Detroit to L.A. Clippers, Clippers to Washington, Washington to Denver, Philadelphia to New Jersey, New Jersey to Seattle(now Oklahoma), Seattle to Orlando, Orlando to Houston, Miami to Toronto.
Most famous deals: Most of the deals involving Maclean were minor, barring the 3 team, 10 player trade in August, 1999 which sent Steve Francis to the Houston Rockets. He was involved in one other trade towards the end of his career, which involved the next player on this list.
2. Billy Owens
Billy Owens
A no. 3 draft pick in 1991, Owens was yet another promising player who failed to meet his expectations and was subsequently bumped around the NBA until he finally called it quits.
Stats: 10 seasons, 11.7 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 2.8 APG, NBA All-Rookie First Team.
Career trades: Eight. Sacramento to Golden State, Golden State to Miami, Miami to Sacramento, Seattle to Orlando, Orlando to Philadelphia, Philadelphia to Golden State, Golden State to Milwaukee, Milwaukee to Detroit.
Most Famous Deals: For most of his career, Owens was not traded around. However, there was one 14 month period which saw Owens traded a ridiculous five times.
- June 30, 1999: Traded by the then Seattle SuperSonics along with Dale Ellis, Don MacLean and Corey Maggette to the Orlando Magic which brought in Horace Grant, a 2000 2nd round draft pick and a 2001 2nd round draft pick.
- Aug. 13, 1999: Traded by the Orlando Magic to the Philadelphia 76ers for Harvey Grant and Anthony Parker.

Reid and Robert Traylor to the Cleveland Cavaliers; and the Milwaukee Bucks traded Vinny Del Negro to the Golden State Warriors.

1. Chris Gatling
Chris Gatling
One of the players who I felt most teams would have had on their roster at some point of time or the other during the 1990s. For the amount of interest he generated, he was traded just 8 times.
Stats: 12 seasons, 10.3 PPG, 5.3 RPG and .513 FG%. He made it to the All-Star Team in 1997.
Career Trades: Eight. Golden State to Miami, Dallas to New Jersey, New Jersey to Milwaukee, Milwaukee to Orlando, Orlando to Denver, Denver to Miami, Miami to Cleveland, Cleveland to Miami.
Most Famous Deals: Golden State traded him to Miami with Tim Hardaway in 1996, went with Sam Cassell and Jim Jackson to the Nets, tag-teamed with Cassell again to Milwaukee in a deal that sent Stephon Marbury to New Jersey, and made his third trip to Miami in 2001 in the MacLean deal.
Bonus trade: Gatling was actually included in nine trades if you consider the fact the pick which was used to select him in the 1991 draft was sent from Philadelphia to Golden State in 1990 for Manute Bol.
