1. A look at the many Sixers moves in free agency over the past week. (6:10)
2. Flyers news and notes, a new goalie and someone had surgery. (20:40)
3. Nick Williams was finally promoted to Philadelphia! (29:35)
4. The Eagles release Dorial Green-Beckham. (34:35)
Our Listener Feedback this week concentrated on one particular issue: rebuilds. We discussed how and why sports teams and organizations vary in terms of their strategic personnel rebuilds. (37:55)
And then what we're throwing down on the Table this week is an in-depth interview with Tom Housenick from the Morning Call. Sitting in the press box night after night, Tom sees how these Lehigh Valley prospects are developing. Throughout the season, he's been able to analyze who is making the strides and players we may see in Philly sooner rather than later. We first got into the pitching at Triple-A with Tom Eshelman and then reliever Edubray Ramos. Also, what's been happening with the sad state of pitching for Jake Thompson. Of course, we then got into a detailed discussion about J.P. Crawford, Dylan Cozens, Jorge Alfaro, and plenty more of the prospects we're keeping our eyes on. It's a great interview Phillies fans won't want to miss! (44:20)

Justin Klugh (@justin_klugh), Deputy Editor at TheGoodPhight.com, called in this week to give his take on the Phillies bats, the pitching,...But first on the Brief News & Views segment:
1. What's the worst part about going to a live sporting event? (5:15)
2. The Flyers season is over, but the Phantoms are heading to the playoffs. (10:20)
3. Eagles news and notes this week. (19:00)
4. TAKE IT or LEAVE IT: was it really a successful Sixers season based on their wins? (28:05)
Our Listener Feedback this week focused on Flyers' rookie Travis Konecny, the high cost for attending sporting events and the most disappointing Philly sports team here in 2017. (34:00)
And then what we're throwing down on the Table is a discussion with Justin Klugh from The Good Phight about how this Phillies team looks early in the season. The pitching situation has changed dramatically early as Jeanmar Gomez is out as closer and Joaquin Benoit is in. How will Clay Buchholz's likely season ending injury affect the starting rotation and outlook long-term? We also dove into the potential renewed rivalry between the Phils and Mets after we saw simmering tensions between the two teams arise in recent days. Is Maikel Franco creating a solid hitting foundation for himself early on? And is Pete Mackanin looking more and more like the Phillies manager of the future?

We analyzed the Ersan Ilyasova trade as well as Jahlil Okafor's role moving forward now that he's the backup to Joel Embiid, plus much more on the current roster. Then we discussed the upcoming NBA Draft and potential suitors for a team that's still rebuilding. Who might the Sixers be looking to draft and how will they impact this team in the future?
