Hope you all had a great July 4th break! We are back to it on this Monday edition of Current Sports with Al Martin. On today's show we recap the big NBA free agent news concerning Kawhi Leonard signing with the LA Clippers, bringing along Oklahoma City Thunder star Paul George with him. How has this impacted the parity of next season? Also, Russell Westbrook close to becoming a Detroit Pistons player? Al and engineer Connor Matthes discuss whether, or not, this would be a smart move for Detroit. Also, we invite DeShaun Tate of CBS Radio in Atlanta to recap the latest from the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Will Nick Ward make a roster after his subpar start? That, and more!
