The Denver Nuggets' president, Josh Kroenke, reaffirmed his confidence in coach David Adelman after the team’s disappointing first-round exit in the playoffs. Despite finishing third in the Western Conference with a record of 54-38, the Nuggets struggled with injuries, missing a total of 245 games throughout the season. Kroenke indicated that while he values the current roster, significant changes could be on the horizon, with only superstar Nikola Jokic considered safe from trades. Jokic is eligible for a lucrative contract extension this summer, potentially worth up to $290 million. The Nuggets' financial situation is complicated, as their projected starting lineup salary exceeds $184 million, which could hinder their ability to retain key players like Peyton Watson and Aaron Gordon, both of whom have faced injuries. Kroenke emphasized the need for introspection and improvement to capitalize on Jokic's remaining years with the team.
