Let's try to answer grids 4 and 7 for Thursday's NBA Immaculate Grid: which Detroit Pistons players have also played either the Washington Wizards or the Phoenix Suns?
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope started his career with the Pistons before joining the LA Lakers in 2017. KCP won a title with the Lakers in 2020 but was traded to the Wizards in the summer of 2021 as part of the Russell Westbrook deal. He now plays for the Denver Nuggets, winning his second ring last season.
Meanwhile, Grant Hill is a forgotten Pistons legend. Hill was a phenomenal player in Detroit from 1994 to 200. However, ankle problems plagued him during his time with the Orlando Magic. He resurrected his career as a role player for the Suns from 2007 to 2012.
It should also be noted that Ish Smith is an answer for both grids, as he played for all three franchises. Smith was in Phoenix from 2013 to 2014, in Detroit from 2016 to 2019 and in Washington from 2019 to 2021.
