Solo at the moment, we'll be joined by Kirk Henderson, my good buddy here in just a little bit,

about 10 to 15 minutes in.

He'll be joining us for the rest of the show.

A majority of today's show is going to be on the matchup between the Nuggets and the Mavs.

Over the weekend, Friday and Sunday, going to be a double header both in Dallas.

I'm going to preview that one. Maybe complain a little bit about the schedule makers, go over some details, and then

even talk more broadly about building around Luca, building around Nicola.

I think there are some very interesting lessons that you can kind of compare and contrast

the two ways both teams have attempted.

And also look at some historical references over the last

decade about you know about what teams have done that have had great players lebron step

curry kevin durant james hardin what things have worked what things didn't and is there a lesson in

there that's maybe a bit surprising the further we get into obviously yokech's tenure in denver

but lucas tenure in Denver,

but Luke's tenure in Dallas. I think there are some interesting things. Kirk will be on to join me to, he actually, I haven't even prepped him for those things, but he's always got good

perspective on that, so I look forward to doing that. We'll also have some fun, bounce around

the NBA a little bit, some, it's Thursday, we're almost into the weekend. Been a long week for me personally.

And I think I know for a lot of the guys here.

So I want to have a little bit of fun today.

There's some funny stuff that has happened on the internet.
