Where is Q?

Some (not so latest) NBA news:

On June 25, the New York Knicks traded for the hugely disappointing Darko Miličić by sending Quentin Richardson and cash considerations to the Memphis Grizzlies.

With too many swingmen but not enough big bodies on the roster, the Grizzlies acquired Zach Randolph from the Los Angeles Clippers, with Quentin Richardson going in the other direction on July 17.

And thanks to the huge trade of Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics a year ago, the Minnesota Timberwolves simply had too many (useless) players. So on July 20, they decided to send a package including Sebastian Telfair, Mark Madsen, and Craig Smith to the Clippers for Quentin Richardson.

To recap, in a matter of 26 days, Quentin Richardson had been traded three times, where his journey began in New York, then to Memphis, Los Angeles and finally (?) Minnesota.

Just wondering when his next move will be.

P.S. On August 13, Richardson was traded to the Miami Heat for Mark Blount, biding farewell to Minnesota after a total of just 24 days.
