Here we go again. The worst enemy of the Denver Nuggets - the biggest foe standing between them and a title - is once again proving to be their own organization. The reason isn’t incompetence, or malfeasance. Instead, Denver’s billionaire ownership is again showing they are willing to be ruinously cheap and value process over people, and it may cost Nuggets fans 50 years of dreams.
In 2013, the Nuggets were at a crossroads. They had the Coach of Year and the Executive of the Year, but the coach George Karl was expensive and Denver was getting too many first round exits.
