For Wednesday's Crossover Grid, here's a closer look at grids 1 and 2: which LA Lakers players have also played for either the Brooklyn Nets or the OKC Thunder?

D'Angelo Russell was drafted No. 2 by the LA Lakers in 2015. His first stint in Hollywood ended after just two seasons, as he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets in 2017. He lasted just two years in Brooklyn before he got traded again.

Russell returned to the Lakers last season via trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He will be returning to the team after signing a new two-year contract this offseason.

Meanwhile, there have been a couple of NBA legends who played for the Lakers and Thunder. Carmelo Anthony spent a season with both teams, as well as Gary Payton. It should be noted that the OKC Thunder's franchise history includes the Seattle SuperSonics.
