| 0:00.0 | Attention all passengers. |
| 0:04.2 | The Uber ride for Mark and Jamal's romantic weekend will depart in four minutes from Platform 6. |
| 0:10.5 | Your ride comes with a rolling countryside sunset view and a table seat ideal for playing footsie beneath. |
| 0:17.9 | Thank you for booking your tickets on Uber. |
| 0:21.6 | Trains on Uber. |
| 0:23.4 | You know what we needed a time like this is sports graffiti. |
| 0:27.1 | Why not? |
| 0:27.5 | 7-7-7-10 ESPN. |
| 0:30.6 | Got one line open right now. |
| 0:32.5 | Let's start out with Victor in Vista. |
| 0:36.1 | Victor, you're on sports graffiti. |
| 0:37.5 | What's up, man? Good afternoon. Good afternoon. |
| 0:39.3 | Victor. So we all know that Austin Reeves hasn't been great in playoffs compared |
| 0:44.3 | the regular season. So let's say hypothetically, Brooklyn or Chicago gives Austin a max |
| 0:49.9 | contract, and leave. Do they give LeBron a max contract then? It sounds like they might not, they might not be able to low ball off, and if he's so vital to the Lakers moving forward and keeping Luca happy, then one of the Lakers today.

| 1:41.5 | I don't know what the other guys can't. If somebody else maxes, if Chicago maxes, if Brooklyn maxes, if you're Austin, do you take that into consideration and do you consider taking the back? Yeah, I mean, it's the Mike Trout argument. Do you, if the angels came at Mike Trout with a boatload of money. Yep. And he took the deal. And now he's in prison. and if you you know, as you guys know, I talk about this all the time. |
