For Thursday's NBA HoopGrids, let's try to answer grids 2 and 5: which Miami Heat players have also played for either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Detroit Pistons?

LeBron James was drafted first overall by the Cavaliers in 2003. He went on to become one of the greatest players in NBA history. He left Cleveland in 2010 to take his talents to South Beach. He won two championships with the Heat before returning to the Cavaliers in 2014.

James would later win a championship for Cleveland in 2016 after coming back from a 3-1 deficit against the 73-win Golden State Warriors. Meanwhile, Kelly Olynyk is a former player for the Heat and Pistons.

Olynyk joined the Heat in the summer of 2017 after signing a huge contract in free agency.

He spent three and a half seasons in Miami before he got traded to the Houston Rockets. He signed a three-year contract with the Pistons in 2021 but was traded to the Utah Jazz a season later.
