LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er. Two years, eight million, player option, dropped on a random Friday morning. Covino and Rich open the show on it and go straight at the part nobody else is saying out loud: he knew the whole time. All that "I don't know where I'm going" talk while he was leaving Philly crumbs for a week.

Then it gets into the real argument. Rich called Philly back on July 3rd and thinks the fit is obvious. Covino wants to know united states midterm election who guards anybody on that roster, and whether a super team has ever worked the way people assume it does. Embiid's health is the whole season. Jaylen Brown wants the ball, so does Maxey, and the Knicks are still sitting there as the champs. If LeBron somehow wins one in a city that hasn't had a title in over 40 years, four rings with four teams, that changes the MJ conversation kyle hurt for good.

Anthony Gargano from The Fellas calls in from Philly, where his live on-air reaction went viral, and describes a city he says he has never seen this happy. He breaks down what Mike Gansey pulled off in 45 days, why LeBron is the perfect fix at the four, and he settles the ketchup on a cheesesteak question permanently.

Plus the Mets hit a new low when Mookie Betts and Bryce Harper get caught on camera laughing at them, Rich runs through the 0 for 7 offseason, Jose Iglesias makes his Broadway debut, and it's julie vanloo Friday, so there's Brainwave and weekend hobnobbing.
