What did We REALLY Learn From Josh Kroenke About the Nuggets and Jokic’s Future

The Drive reacts to the Nuggets’ end‑of‑season press conference, where team owner Josh Kroenke finally spoke publicly — and his comments left the guys with a lot to unpack.

Did Kroenke hint at running it back
Is that even financially possible with the repeater tax looming
And what does it mean that he said everything is on the table except trading Jokic

The guys dive into what that really signals for the roster, which players could be moved, and whether “health” is a legitimate explanation for the season… or just a convenient excuse to avoid big changes.

Josh also spoke about complacency, and The Drive has a guess who he meant: Christian Braun. They break down Braun’s season, why his work ethic didn’t translate to results, and why Zach still asks: What does he do at a plus NBA level

And then came the moment everyone noticed — Kroenke’s one‑word answer when asked if the organization pays for top‑tier services off the court. His quick “yes” shut down any follow‑up, but the guys know the history: the Nuggets have let top executives walk because they wouldn’t pay.

So… what would this roster look like if Tim Connelly were still here
