saying you. I'm your host, Matt Moore. Thanks for joining me on this Monday evening going into Tuesday.

Adam Mares is on assignment.

He is a mariner, his ship's sole survivor in the belly of a whale.

He'll be back later this week.

Today's show, I'm going to talk a little bit about we've got some news to go through,

various items of interest. We'll talk a little bit about that. I'm also going to talk a little bit about we've got some news to go through various items of interest.

We'll talk a little bit about that.

I'm also going to talk a little bit about kind of the sense of where the team is going into

what will, we'll a little bit about the schedule, not the actual games, but the preseason

schedule and what that looks like.

We'll take a look at those things and a little bit of conversation around general NBA thoughts as well on today's pretty quick episode of Locked on Nuggets.

Thanks for being along for the ride.

First off, Popeye Jones officially hired by the Denver Nuggets.

Mike Singer the first to report that today.

Mike also reported that the lead assistant is going to be David

second, and Popeye will be third on Malone's bench. It's good to have a former player on the staff.

It's good to have a guy with Popeye's experience on the staff. Everyone I've talked to says, yeah, he should do great.

I always had that mentality.
