The pros I can remember bouncing seemed to fit two categories:
1) Rotation or bench players who got short contracts and took what was offered. They moved out of necessity, not choice.
2) Headcases.

Does anyone have clear example of a solid starter bouncing teams almost every year who wasn't a head case? They may well exist. I just can't think of any.

Before someone says "Ish", yes he played real minutes. For me Ish is still case #1. He was frequently waived, or on 1 year contracts. I think he was also padding in a few multi-player deals.

Jim Jackson (650/850 GS), Rich Hill (250/388 GS) & Joe Smith (620/1030 GS) come to mind.

I also think a good chunk of these 5 in 5 players are some mix of head cases and/or bag chasers.

Jim Jackson - Mostly a head case. I'm a starter and I want to win. Did not re-sign and/or demanded trade from any team that wasn't going to make the playoffs or did not have him as the starter. He got a rep. There were multiple seasons in the middle without any contract and he was only picked up to fill in for injuries (thus starting).

Rich Hill - no idea who this is. Searches are not finding them.

Joe Smith - Almost all of his moves were in his declining years. Case #1. The early moves were because he was caught in a cap evading scandal (MN) and they had to divest.

Players who have their own state cases are still eligible.

Its the ones that were dependent on the Colorado class-wide ruling, that are ineligible:

Michigan’s “depth” addition is ineligible for now.

One that's not listed here is Cade Tyson, as he was also among the Colorado-only plaintiffs. Speculated to have been practicing with Minnesota and considering a return.

Jayden Epps is also ineligible.

Keyshawn Hall is also ineligible via the stay issued in the Ohio case.

AJ Storr hoping he becomes ineligible at UNLV so he can commit to a new 12th school in 5 seasons when he becomes eligible again

Where do we stand with Storr? 🤔
