AP - The record-setting $2.5 billion offseason sale of the Denver Nuggets from Joe Bradley to Felix Toon was driven by a $62 million dollar profit in 2017. Toon was widely rumored to be bringing in his own executive team after a middling 41-41 season and first round exit last year. After years of critical injuries, and money mismanagement, the entire training and accounting staffs were relieved of their roles immediately and replaced by the leading physician from UC Health Orthopedics and the accounting firm of Budde & Co. Upon the completion of the sale, mysterious Italian GM The Syndicate immediately tendered his resignation. We however, are getting word today that on the eve of the new season, Mr. Toon has torn up The Syndicate's resignation letter and instead gave him a substantial pay-raise. Those with knowledge of the interaction quoted the new owner as saying, "You've won two rings, made the playoffs 12 of the past 14 years, and have put together an excellent roster. It's not your fault the REST of our organization was a flaming pile of (insert expletive)."
The Denver Nuggets have announced a press conference will be forthcoming.
