Hey, Mwatin, standoff continues.

There are outcomes that can lead to bad, bad situations, even if the Nuggets retain him.

I'll tell you what those are.

Let's look at the long view for the Nuggets coming up on Locked On Nuggets.

Welcome to Locked on Nuggets, your daily different Nuggets podcast, part of the

Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.

Thanks for joining us.

My name's Matt Moore.

I've been in the Netherlands, not Europe, just the Netherlands.

I can't say Europe because I didn't leave the Netherlands.

For about five days,

five, five with travel, I guess six. I'm back. I back. I left and Peyton Watson wasn't signed and the Nuggets hadn't done anything and LeBron didn't have a team and I came back and LeBron doesn't have a team and the Nuggets haven't done anything and Peyton Watson wasn't signed so I didn't't miss anything. I did miss you guys though. I'm very glad to be back. Very glad to be back with you guys. And our everydayers over at locked on Nuggets at supercast.com on our Discord. I'm going to be doing a breakdown of Alpha Diallo. Started doing tapework on that today looking at what he's able to bring to the table.

That's going to be for our everydayers.

Make sure to sign up for the everydayers club on today's show.

I'm going to talk about the need for some long-term views from the Nuggets,

which is something that I've kind of shied away from.

But some of the realities of what this inflection point with Peyton Watson

kind of mean for the team, as well as we'll take kind of a look at a long-term view.

I do want to start today, though, with a conversation about this because this past my,

this came through my brain today as I was kind of going through stuff, which is the Peyton Watson contract continues.

There's no, no break on either side.
