Which Heat players have also played for the Hornets and Blazers? NBA Crossover Grid answers for September 15

An all-new NBA Crossover Grid was released on Sept. 15. The original basketball grid game continues to remain popular among hoops fans waiting for the offseason to end. Based on the MLB's Immaculate Grid, players have many options to complete the grid.

Friday's puzzle has two special categories: a player who was coached by Nate McMillan and a player who has $100 million or more total career earnings.

Here's a look at the clues for Day 79 of the NBA Crossover Grid:

• Grid 1: Player who played for the Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets
• Grid 2: Player who played for the Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers
• Grid 3: Player who played for the Miami Heat and was coached by Nate McMillan
• Grid 4: Player who played for the LA Clippers and Charlotte Hornets
• Grid 5: Player who played for the LA Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers
• Grid 6: Player who played for the LA Clippers and was coached by Nate McMillan
• Grid 7: Player who played for the Charlotte Hornets and has career earnings of more than $100 million
• Grid 8: Player who played for the Portland Trail Blazers and has career earnings of more than $100 million
• Grid 9: Player who was coached by Nate McMillan and has career earnings of more than $100 million

For Friday's NBA Crossover Grid, here's a closer look at Grids 1 and 2: Which Miami Heat players have also played for the Charlotte Hornets and the Portland Trail Blazers? It should be noted that players from the 1988 to 2002 Hornets can be considered.

Alonzo Mourning is a Heat legend and spent 11 seasons in South Beach in two different stints. Before he joined the Heat, Mourning started his career with the Hornets in 1992 as the second overall pick. He lasted just three seasons in Charlotte before he got traded to Miami.

Meanwhile, Greg Oden is considered one of the biggest busts in NBA history. He was the No. 1 pick by the Trail Blazers in 2007, but injuries prevented him from fulfilling his potential.

He played just 82 games in Portland and was waived in 2012. He joined the Heat in 2013 but lasted just one season there.
