Chris Paul has now played for 6 NBA teams, all of whom are in the Western Conference. Has any other player played with as many teams without switching conferences?

Chris Paul’s NBA career up to this point:

• New Orleans Hornets (2005-2011)
• Los Angeles Clippers (2011-2017)
• Houston Rockets (2017-2019)
• Oklahoma City Thunder (2019-2020)
• Phoenix Suns (2020-2023)
• Golden State Warriors (2023-present)

Which raises the question, has anyone else in NBA history played for this many teams without switching conferences?
