NBA HoopGrids for Day 34
For Grid 1, Caron Butler and Derek Fisher are potential answers. Butler played close to two seasons with the Dallas Mavericks from 2009-10 to 2010-11 before spending a year with the OKC Thunder in 2013-14.
Fisher spent the last four years of his career between the Mavericks (1) and the Thunder (3).
Harrison Barnes is the popular option for Grid 2. The former Golden State Warriors stalwart was with the Mavericks for nearly three seasons from 2016-17 to 2018-19. He has been with the Sacramento Kings since the start of the 2022-23 season.
For Grid 3, Dallas Mavericks icon Dirk Nowitzki might be the easy answer. He played 21 seasons in Dallas, a record for a player under one team.
