What are the answers for today’s NBA Crossover Grid?

The answers to Grid 1-3 can be found here.

For Grid 4, Shawn Bradley, Keith Van Horn and Seth Curry are possible answers. The 7-foot-6 Bradley started his career with the Philadelphia 76ers before playing his last nine seasons in the league with the Dallas Mavericks.

Van Horn was the New Jersey Nets’ No. 2 pick in the 1997 NBA Draft and was with the team for five seasons. He closed out the last two seasons of his career with the Mavs.

Next season, current Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wanted to improve his team’s shooting. He got Seth Curry, who also had a stint with the 76ers, to boost his roster.

For Grid 5, Davis Bertans and JaVale McGee are possible solutions to this grid. Bertans was with the Wizards for two-and-a-half seasons before he was traded to the Mavericks. Dallas shipped him to the Sacramento Kings on draft night for Richaun Holmes and the No. 24 pick Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Notably, Jason Kidd in 1994 and Mark Aguirre in 1981 were the only two players the Mavericks picked in the top three in NBA draft history. Kidd was the No. 2 pick in '94, while Aguirre was the first name called in ‘81. Either of them will be the correct answer to Grid 6.
