More on this storyline

Michael Singer: Kroenke: Tim’s departure has given a huge opportunity for Calvin Booth. “I’ve always thought very highly of Calvin.” Said he thinks he’s going to do a great job. -via Twitter @msinger / June 3, 2022 Katy Winge: Nuggets announce Josh Kroenke will speak tomorrow at 12:30pm -via Twitter @katywinge / June 2, 2022 One person who previously worked with Booth and still works in the NBA described him as “detailed,” and extremely prepared. For example, the person cited a mock draft exercise where scouts and executives debated all 60 picks and made note of how Booth always had something to say about each prospect. Those opinions, the person said, were always backed up with player comparisons, sometimes going as far back as 20 years, and data to support his argument. -via Denver Post / May 28, 2022
