Episode 31 of In My Defense is titled "Trading Places," and this week, Canty and Que break down power moves, pressure points, and decisions that could reshape franchises.

They start in the WNBA with the blockbuster trade sending Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream. Is this smart team-building or a business gamble?

Then they hit the NBA, debating whether the 65-game rule is hurting the league more than helping, and what it means for stars chasing awards and contracts. In the NFL, the guys dive into Dexter Lawrence's request for a trade from the Giants and what it signals about New York's direction.

Plus, Lamar Jackson showing up to voluntary workouts sends a loud message: the pressure is no longer on him.

They close with 99 Problems: Top 5 moves that NEED to happen before the draft, plus Wins & Losses of the Week.
