Welcome to the morning shootaround here on the Athletic NBA Daily.

I'm your host, Andrew Schleck, with me early this morning.

Yon.

I feel like I'm still at the Thunder Arena right now.

What's going on?

It's my kids last day of school and so, you know.

Oh, nice.

Cool.

At the arena late last night.

But up early this morning to see them off to their last day of school.

Ready for some summertime.

God, I used to love the last day of school.

Oh, it's great. It's the best feeling. You don't do anything. They're not going to do anything in their classes. They're going to just go have either a pizza party or something along the lines of that. I don't know if they still do that, but maybe a pizza party. Watch a show or something. I don't know. Half day. Yeah, half day. There's not a lot going on. There's not going on. Beautiful. Love it. Amazing. There's going to be a lot going on with the Denver Nuggets, though, this off-season. Yes. Yes, there will be. You would think.

Mm-hmm.

You would think.

Yep.

I'm very interested to see what happens with this team. Because I remember when they fired Michael Malone, there was conversation, or Michael Malone.

I apologize, Michael. I know you like, I know Michael I know you like I know I know you like Michael more

when they fired Michael Malone there was conversation of oh well we wanted to get ahead of firing him

because we didn't want a deep playoff run to cloud our judgment of this team.

Yeah.

So they just knew going in that they're going to make some changes.
