They spent over 2 billion dollars for a new NFL stadium for Stan’s beloved LA RAMS. Yet the Nuggets has an equivalent of a high school gym practice facility. What a disgrace that they still haven’t invested 15 million in a new practice facility.

This is their current one. What a joke

Their arena "Ball Arena" could use a big renovation. It's shared with the NHL team but staying the low budget course seems to work.

It's a little strange they didn't hire a GM first, given how the last coach/GM combo worked out in the end. Then again I thought firing the coach and GM with 3 games left in the season was a bad idea.

Anyway the players are on board with Adelman and he seems to be pretty smart even if he's lacking HC experience. Should work out pretty well.

The franchise strikes me as cheap, and this may or not be a good choice but it is a certainly a cheap one.

If they werent so cheap with paying coaches and executives, I have a strong suspicion Connelly would have been able to find better bench players than Booth.

He is a good coach that took OKC to 7 games with far far less talent.
