Nugget’s Front Office Sitting On Their Hands

Unfortunately the Denver Nugget’s biggest moves this off season were to acquire Sonny Weems and resign Anthony Carter. That happened after landing Taurean Green in a blockbuster trade deadline deal in March. Wow, NBA Championship here they come.

Basically the Clippers offered a bunch of garbage for Zach Randolph. The great news is that garbage expires a lot faster than Randolph.

Primary Sponsor

In the previous post I touched on what a primary sponsor is, and how they could be apart of OMT. In Europe these primary sponsors are the norm. I remember a team in Germany that is sponsored by T-Mobile (or some phone company like them). Their jerseys are pink and even the court is bright […]
