Welcome back, everybody. Welcome back. Yeah. We got to bring it. It's a Monday, man. Everybody's raining Monday. Everybody's down. I'm going to say, I'm going to pick. Really? Wake up. Wake up, vote. What is everybody? Welcome to the D of your Nuggets podcast. Let's go. Live from the Xfinity studio. Throw them up. Oh, boys. Throw them up there.

Xfinity.

Imagine that. Lock in that five-year price guarantee. Big episode, man. There's some of these episodes we do every year that I feel like are a little bit bigger table-setters than others. And it always is a big one when we have a friend of the show, Jake Coyne, aka the the stat squatch joining us. He'll be joining us in segments two and three to walk through all. And we keep talking about the salary cap, the Nuggets, ducking the tax, second aprons, all stuff in the abstract. But let's get down to the nitty gritty. What exactly has to happen? Exactly for the nuggets to get below the tax for them to run it back all of those

different things what's at stake we're going to get to all of it and to help me with that

conversation a garden gnome well i'll tell you what exactly what has to happen for this is why

i got ahead of it with the invisible line because i know this show like yeah if adam is the first to

notice yeah you're in trouble.

You're in big trouble.

That is a good point.

You gotta get out ahead of it. You really just got to get out of it. Haircuts, new like styles. Yeah. You really just got to. You can't do it. No one's safe. You got to be the one to break the news. Over here, Harrison Wind. fellas excited for this week man a, fresh week. A lot of stuff to talk about. We head into the off season. If I were to make a comment on yours, Eric dressed exactly like you're dressed right now as a bit. Do you remember with the sunglasses when people called you racist? Yeah, yeah. That was the episode. That was the exact one. That was the exact one. That was the exact one. Yeah.

The wind just looks like he lives in New York City right now.

We're going to get in.

I've been wearing more and more black as the seasons have gone on. It's also you're just aging. I'm telling you. Eric did this before me where he watched me go through all the stages of aging and just kind of laughed.

And now I get to watch you guys on the wrong side of 30.

Why don't you warn me about any of this?

It's just more to watch you guys on the wrong side of 30.

Why don't you warn me about any of this?

It's just more fun for you guys to be caught off guard. That sucks so much. Like a trap door or something, you know, booby trap where I watch you walk into it. Got them. Yeah. And then your knee hurts for me. Yeah. Got me. Got me. So this show is largely going to be about the Nuggets.

And there's questions about it's tough thinking about the Nuggets right now because there is no magic bullet. I feel like in years past there has been like, okay, they need to do this, but can they? Right now I think the offseason is I'm not sure what they're supposed to do. And I'm not sure if they can do it. It's a double whammy. And so today we're going to talk about,

is it possible they need to take a gap here

and take a step back,

like a real step back to where next year
