In the chaos of the build-up to the NBA Draft, nobody has had a more exciting 36 hours than Luke Ridnour.
Ridnour, a 12-year NBA veteran who's made over $45 million in his career, has been traded three times since Sunday.
Ridnour was a member of the Orlando Magic on Wednesday morning. Before noon, however, he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies:

Things were quiet the rest of the day for Ridnour, but then Wednesday morning, he was traded to the Charlotte Hornets:

Ridnour didn't get too comfy in Charlotte, because he was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder two hours later:

But from the sounds of it, Ridnour shouldn't get too comfortable in Oklahoma City, either:
The deadline to waive Ridnour is July 10. The Thunder will do that, unless they can use his contract in another future trade before then.

As SB Nation's Seth Rosenthal notes, Ridnour's tour across the US tops former NBA player Quentin Richardson's four-trades-in-two-months streak. Ridnour has now been a member of four teams in slightly over 24 hours and he may still become a free agent or get traded again.
Hopefully for Ridnour's sake, he's sitting at home, relaxing, waiting for finalization before apartment hunting.
