Editor's note: this was recorded just prior to the 76ers/Celtics trade rumors and subsequent deal.
The 2017 NBA Draft is almost upon us, and Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, is here to break down every pick in the draft team by team. In part one, after some back and forth about the Warriors’ one-sided NBA Finals victory over the Cavaliers, Riche and Adam delve into all fifteen Eastern Conference teams. Who should the new brass in Orlando pick (maybe Jonathan Isaac or Jayson Tatum?) to usher in the re-reboot of the Magic? Why will you very likely not hear the Cavaliers' name in the draft this year despite winning the East for the third straight season? Is it destiny that Malik Monk ends up with the New York Knicks? They also discuss second round picks, the Boston Celtics summer scenario rabbit hole, Milwaukee loading up on athletes, and more! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!

Mild-mannered reporters by day, Greg Phillips and Nick Duke share an intense love of comic books that has made them the Hard-Traveling Fanboys. And their love of comics isn’t limited to the page. In Off the Page, Greg and Nick will examine pieces of comic book media outside the comics themselves.
Wonder Woman Month continues on the show as the boys watch and review the unaired pilot episode of David E. Kelley's 2011 Wonder Woman TV series. The show was intended for NBC, but the network passed. Did they make a mistake? Quite frankly, that's for the Hard-Traveling Fanboys to decide.

Now, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche of Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team are here to break down everything they can imagine from this highly anticipated series. How will the Warriors guard LeBron now that they have Durant at the forward position instead of Harrison Barnes? Will the Cavs' defensive strategy of getting chippy with Steph Curry now work like it did in the previous Finals? Is it possible that leaving Klay Thompson open might be the Cavs' best option?
