On this week's show, we're recapping a wild draft night that ended with the Philadelphia 76ers landing Ben Simmons. We'll also celebrate the life of both Pat Summit and Buddy Ryan, and congratulate Eric Lindros on his induction to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Broad Street Line: The future of sports talk radio has finally arrived.
The NBA Draft is a prime time for trades to take place, and this year was no exception. Many surprises took place both on the draft board and off of it, and the hosts will unpack some of the roster changes that took place.
The hosts will also play a game of "Assist or Turnover" with some of the league's pending free agents, like Rajon Rondo and Hassan Whiteside to see if they would take a chance on some of the players looking for a new home.

Join us this week as we go NBA-heavy for perhaps the final week of the summer.
LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and the Cleveland Cavaliers came back from a seemingly insurmountable 3-1 deficit to thwart the defending champion Golden State Warriors, win the NBA title, and effectively bring one home for "The Land". We will dissect the Finals and its aftermath and we will discuss the top of the NBA Draft all the way up until draft time!
We'll also talk with Sarah Spain of ESPN about these same topics, as well as the harassment women in sports media receive on social media.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially the 2016 NBA champions, but their work may not be done yet. With the NBA Draft approaching, will they make a blockbuster deal for recent champion Kevin Love, or stay pat?
Ben Simmons is the presumed first pick, but there are always steals later on both in and out of the lottery, and we attempt to find the diamonds in the rough. We also remember past draft predictions that we nailed in the past, and a couple of regrets.
