NBA Crossover Grid for Day 30

For Grid 4, Russell Westbrook would be the easy answer. “Brodie” played with the Houston Rockets for one season in 2019-20. He also had a troubled stint with the LA Lakers for nearly two years.

Matt Barnes and Pau Gasol are potential answers for Grid 5. Barnes, now a popular podcaster, had two seasons with the Lakers in 2010-11 and 2011-12 before playing for the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2015-16 season.

Gasol jumped from Memphis to Hollywood in 2007 and helped the team reach the 2008 finals. Although he and Kobe Bryant would fail that year, they would eventually win two championships, including revenge against the Boston Celtics in 2010.

The LA Lakers have had top three picks over the last 10 years. They had D’Angelo Russell in 2015, Brandon Ingram in 2016 and Lonzo Ball in 2017. All three were picked No. 2 in their respective drafts.

Before them, the Lakers picked first in 1982 and 1979. They grabbed James Worthy out of North Carolina in ‘82 and Magic Johnson from Michigan State in ‘79.
