| 0:00.0 | Welcome on to a Boxing Day edition of Hollinger and Duncan. |
| 0:04.4 | We have much to discuss here. |
| 0:06.2 | We've got to talk about the league's potential moves to curb tanking, long overdue, perhaps. |
| 0:11.7 | So they've tried some things in the past. |
| 0:13.7 | They also made some changes to the injury reporting. |
| 0:15.5 | So we've got John's thoughts on those. |
| 0:17.5 | And then we've got to continue to assess the trade markets. And we talked about |

| 1:08.3 | So now we're out of the Wembe draft, right? |
| 1:11.9 | Yeah, I called it the resacee rule. |
| 1:15.6 | Oh, come on. |
| 1:17.1 | Of why they shouldn't do it, but yeah. |
| 1:21.9 | And so I don't love it for that. |
| 1:25.7 | And also, if you have four teams that are out of the mix the next year, |
| 1:29.4 | doesn't that increase the incentive for the other teams to tank? |
