Grace and Thomas are back with some Olympics basketball to discuss. They talk about the USA women's team's first two games and the positives and negatives (and why the negatives might not even matter). They also touch on the 3x3 team's struggles and how they may be unable to recover at this point.

Next, they finally get into the new media rights deal that was reported on a couple weeks ago. They first break down all the major pieces of the deal, then get into what it means for the league going forward, what they could've gotten, and what the CBA might look like when it almost certainly gets renegotiated after next season.

Finally, they discuss the newest information from Howard Megdal on the Las Vegas Aces investigation. There's a lot of information that doesn't actually have any information, and that seems a little suspicious. They also talk about why the league might take this very seriously at this important crossroads for the league.
