We thought he would be the perfect guest to bring on given his assignment in the last 6 or 7 years to look back on LeBron James' time in Cleveland, examine his present basketball situation with the Los Angeles Lakers, and look ahead to what the future of LeBron in LA during and after basketball will look like.

5R77- Ethan and Chris do a Friday Sports News Dump, recapping the news that Wayne Ellington has re-signed with the Miami Heat and the vote that wasn't a vote that took place at the Miami City Commission on the Miami MLS Stadium proposal.

5R76- Ethan and Chris discuss the latest reporting on Carmelo Anthony potentially joining the Miami Heat, and use it as a launching pad to discuss the rest of the banana boat crew. Why hasn't Dwyane Wade committed to come back? Why do the Lakers look like they're going to be an average Western Conference team with LeBron? How much will the Rockets regret paying Chris Paul? Plus, we examine Dwight Howard's plight as someone regularly in the conversation with those players to a punchline.

5R75 -- In the latest edition of our "Heat Stories" series, Ethan and Chris speak to Brian Grant, who played in the NBA from 1994 to 2006, including 2000 to 2004 with the Miami Heat. The candid conversation starts with Grant's upbringing in Ohio and his breakout at Xavier University; continues with his drafting to Sacramento and signing in Portland; and covers his recruitment by Pat Riley to join the Heat. It closes with his diagnosis with early-onset Parkinson's Disease, his friendships with Michael J. Fox and the Ali family, Pat Riley dubbing him a "Forever Man" at his Shake It 'til We Make It event, and his work toward a cure for the disease with the Brian Grant Foundation.   Sponsored by: -- Doral Toyota   -- Miss Ink - Miami Social Media Marketing Services

5R74- Ethan and Chris continue to examine the fallout from NBA Free Agency and some of the major contracts handed out. We start by looking back on deals the Heat have signed in recent years, then move on to Paul George, Chris Paul, Nikola Jokic, and some of the other big money signings and ask if the teams that signed them will regret it.  Thanks to our sponsor Doral Toyota Check out the other podcasts in the 5 Reasons Sports Network Miami Heat Beat (Heat)- https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-miami-heat-beat-podcast/id1052650163?mt=2 Pitch Invasion (Soccer)- https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/pitch-invasion/id1385704496 3 Yards Per Carry (Dolphins)- https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/3-yards-per-carry-miami-dolphins/id1363764781?mt=2 Ballscast (Miami sports/culture)- https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ballscast/id1365328471?mt=2

5R73- Just when we thought LeBron signing with the Lakers was crazy enough, the Golden State Warriors one-upped them by signing Boogie Cousins to a 1 year deal. Ethan and Chris react to the Boogie signing (1:45), continued fallout from LeBron joining the Lakers and their subsequent signings (17:20), and get into what you would give up if you're the Heat and others for Kawhi Leonard (45:00).

5R72- Ethan and Chris turned on their microphones and started talking about LeBron James signing a 4 year, $154 million deal to join the Los Angeles Lakers.

This is a wide-ranging conversation on every angle we could think of as it happened, including breaking news late in the pod.
