| 0:00.0 | The NBA, as we know, has a tanking problem, and the NBA is trying to figure it out, trying to solve it. |
| 0:05.8 | Here are three proposals that have been put out there as we go through a different couple of different sources. |
| 0:12.8 | Of course, this is Shams that I'm reading from. |
| 0:15.0 | Kyle has some also from other publications where we'll see the first proposal that I'll throw at you guys, |
