HR 1 – Giannis Trade Fallout, Bryan Abreu Concerns & QOTD

ITL reacts to the blockbuster trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo and debates who ultimately came out on top. The guys discuss what the deal says about team-building in today's NBA and whether there are any lessons the Houston Rockets should take away from it as they continue trying to build a championship contender. Did the trade validate Houston's approach, or should the Rockets be more aggressive? Then the focus shifts to the Houston Astros and reliever Bryan Abreu. Something unusual seems to be going on, and ITL discusses whether Abreu simply needs time away for personal reasons or if there may be something more to the recent developments. The hour wraps with today's QOTD: What in sports is completely unnecessary? The guys and listeners debate the traditions, rules, and practices they could do without.
