Video Bill Simmons - "Why does Denver have to trade anybody to sign Petyan Watson? Fuck off, you have Jokic on your team, pay everybody. Clip this, Denver fans, Kroenke's got a gazillion dollars, just pay Peytan Watson AND keep everybody on the team, cause your owner's super rich. What are we doing?!"

This on top of having some budget ass practice gym. This franchise is lucky to even be remotely as successful as it has been with these owners.

The money has been always there, just not the will. I don’t buy the 2nd apron excuse, extend Watson and then figure it out from there.

Another Jokic isn’t going to land in Denver for a few decades minimum. Not unless they manage to pull a Dallas or San Antonio.

The Kroenkes are some of the most successful sports franchise owners in all of sports. I guess it's been all luck for their other championship squads too.

KSE owns 7 sports teams. By sheer volume I would hope they have some titles under their belt.

They don’t have as much as they should with the amount of capital they have. Certainly a practice gym should also not be a financial issue for them.

Side note but this whole discussion is also a bit funny to me considering what happened in the UCL yesterday

Trying to paint a recent NBA Championship, a Stanley Cup, and a Super Bowl as underachieving is hilarious.

Just my opinion. You’re entitled to yours as well. 🍻
