| He isn't AMAZING but he has been a solid player everywhere he has played.
The Clippers are his 9th team and the record for the most teams a player has played for is 12.
he's probably gonna break that record cuz he's only 28 and will be a free agent this summer.
I just don't don't understand why he can't stay in one spot... | |

| He's moved around a lot because he's always been an average player with a friendly contract...
Friendly contracts tend to get thrown around a lot...
He's also good enough that teams crave him as a throw-in in a trade....but don't crave him enough to view him as a keeper when another trade comes along... | |

| wow Jake...
well JAY, I know thats WHY he gets moved around a lot... but why wouldn't a team keep someone who will actually help them? doesn't make a lot of sense...
like I think he really would have helped the bulls if we kept him.. he could have helped the spurs as well... | |

| It must be the weird facial hair.
He's also very obsessive about his piano skills. Maybe they're sick of his bragging?
..
I dunno :/ | |

| hahahahaha @ Nick
I know he's a bad defender... but there are a lot of bad defenders in the NBA. he does give you rebounds and points in the point... he can also score from about 17 feet out..
I mean against dallas he had 26 Points 20 rebounds.. I would want someone who could do that.. maybe not as a starter.. but 25 min off the bench | |

| I think he's just such an up and down player. I use to have him on my fantasy league years ago and he have like 5 straight 20 and 10 games then he do 8 and 7 then 0 and 0 because he'd be benched or injured. It's a pattern of his.
Maybe it's as simple as Drew not giving his all every game. | |
