Timestamps Approximate

BBall Storylines (05:19) we kick off fresh with the news that Kawhi Leonard has resigned with the L.A Clippers. Though the news isn’t shocking, it’s a good chance to evaluate the team, and its past two seasons. In other Free agency news we get to Dennis Schroder signing a mid level exemption after turning down 80 million dollars. As well some summer league updates on Davion Mitchell, Jalen Johnson, and Patrick Williams

Talkin’ Hockey (29:35) discusses the Florida Panthers after they signed Sam Reinhart for 3 years, with their current forward core could they be dark house Stanley Cup contenders or will they fall victim to holes in goaltending?


We wrap up with a Baseball Bit (35:53) as Owen goes through the newly firmed up BlueJays starting pitching rotation, analyzing what they need to do to reach playoffs as we approach the final sprint of the season.
