| 0:13.7 | Welcome into another edition of the WojPod. |
| 0:17.5 | Here with Timbontems, ESPN's NBA writer, just a week now ahead of Thursday, next Thursday's |
| 0:25.8 | NBA trade deadline. Tim, how are you? I'm doing well, Adrian. I saw you on the computer this |
| 0:31.7 | morning. I think it's the first time I saw you since the last time I was on the pod with you at the |
