During an introductory press conference for the team’s newly named co-executive vice presidents in Tenzer and Jonathan Wallace, Kroenke stole the headlines with a poorly worded quote trying to explain the Nuggets’ aversion to the new second apron in the luxury tax. In it, he mentioned a hypothetical situation where the Nuggets would be forced to trade the three-time MVP. Kroenke’s employees say his comments were misrepresented. “I would just urge you to listen to the quote again, because if you listen to it, you will realize Josh didn’t say that, and we would never trade Nikola,” Tenzer said. “I would urge you to listen again, because that is not what was said,” Tenzer said when asked a follow-up.
