Nuggets-Wizards Trade Means Ish Smith Has Broken An Insane NBA Record

Ish Smith has been all over the NBA, and if you are one of those fans that like to follow players, then you just might have an assortment of jerseys from every team he has played for.

On Wednesday, the Washington Wizards finalized a deal to acquire Denver Nuggets guards Will Barton and Monte Morris for guards Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Ish Smith.

For Smith, that means he’ll be joining his 13th NBA franchise in 12 years. That also means he just set a record for doing so as he has passed over a few guys who played on 12 teams. They include Joe Smith, Jim Jackson, Tony Massenberg, and Chucky Brown.

That’s franchise number 13 for Ish Smith, more than any player ever. He now has the record, topping a bunch of players who were tied with 12.
