In the first eight hours of NBA Free Agency, there were forty-eight contracts signed totaling just over three billion dollars. Sounds like baseball with all this money being thrown around. In this episode we are naming winners and losers from this first day of free agency, and trying to recap all the trades and signings. Just one question remains...when all is said and done who will Kawhi Leonard end up signing with?

It is a sad day in the greater Philadelphia area, for the Sixers have fallen. After a buzzer beater in Game 7, the Sixers lose to the Raptors and everyone is heartbroken. The Toronto Raptors advance to face the Milwaukee Bucks and the Portland Trail Blazers go on to play the Golden State Warriors. But does any of it really matter if our beloved Sixers aren't playing. It definitely puts a damper on things but the show must go on. We also rate some players as over or underrated, a segment that we will be carrying into further episodes and hope to expand on.  All this and more on this week's episode of "The Three & D". --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-three--d/support

In this week's episode of "The Three & D" we are baffled by LeBron's behavior on the court. Just what is going on over in LA, but we do know one thing, and that's the Lakers playoff picture does not look very good.
