The Nuggets have tried to recruit James in free agency before. Team president Josh Kroenke mailed him a throwback Nuggets jersey in 2018 before James signed with the Lakers. He has described Kroenke as a “very dear friend.”

DNVR Nuggets: Josh Kroenke says the Nuggets practice facility hasn't been built yet because it's part of a larger zoning effort within the city. "When we do have something, you'll be one of the first to know and hopefully it's a very proud moment for all of us because I think it will be state of the art and I think it will be something that Denver will really love."

DNVR Nuggets: "I thought that if this group was healthy that this cold be a 60-65 win team, but we never got a chance to fully show it." "That's why I say everything has to be on the table, including running it back. I really do believe in the group..." - Josh Kroenke

Vinny Benedetto: Stan Kroenke and Alex Rodriguez have been chatting for a good 15 minutes now. Tim Connelly and Josh Kroenke talked before TC greeted Zeke Nnaji, Aaron Gordon and others in the Nuggets organization.

It's approaching a year since the Denver Nuggets fired Calvin Booth and Michael Malone on the same day. It was a stunning move that ended the tenures of the GM and coach who delivered the franchise its first championship just two years earlier. The two clashed over how to build a roster after the title. Malone wanted veterans. Booth wanted to develop young players. They didn’t see eye to eye. They talked behind each other’s backs. And Nuggets president Josh Kroenke had enough of the tension consuming the organization. “I think we both would admit a lot of stuff is overblown,” Booth said on The Kevin O’Connor Show in an illuminating conversation that shows an ex-GM still processing what happened, still proud of what he built, and still waiting on the phone to ring.
