The NBA's Loyalty Problem

NBA trades are exploding, Giannis might bounce, and Applebee’s might be more than a bar—let’s unpack the madness.

You ever argue about NBA trades while shotgunning margaritas at Chili’s? We did. It somehow spiraled into Trey trying to send Kevin Durant to Canada, Matty T declaring Applebee’s “undefeated” and calling it a pregame church, and Wes yelling mid-beer-sip about how Jeremy Lin deserved more respect. Total chaos. We veer off into college football, morphing into the NFL, break down the Angel Reese vs Caitlin Clark media circus, and ask why NHL teams can make trades during the playoffs while the NBA acts like it’s defusing a bomb. It’s sports talk, Dallas culture, and the perfect amount of dumb.
