But First we kick off as the Tokyo Bros (01:58) Where we go through our biggest takeaways/highlights of the Olympics so far. From USA Basketball's surprising (?) opening match loss snapping a 25 game win streak, to Oleksiaks return to the podium, Ahmed Hafnaoui's gold medal and more. 

In BBall Storylines (15:41) Owen gives his mock draft on the first 14 picks of a loaded NBA Draft that features the likes of Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, and Jaylen Suggs. The boys discuss free agency news about the likes of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan heading to the L.A Lakers, and Max makes a surprising case for the Lakers to sign Westbrook. 

Talkin' Hockey (38:59) sees the boys go through all the big trade movement before the NHL Draft that saw Jakub Voracek, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, and Seth Jones end up on new teams. Before discussing the first overall pick of Owen Power by the Buffalo Sabres.
