Is Nuggets’ Josh Kroenke placing too much faith in David Adelman?

David Adelman looks a lot more like a great offensive coordinator than a head coach. He has another season to prove this wrong or it is time to move on.

ICYMI from the weekend:
#Nuggets act like they can't win without Aaron Gordon — but can they win with him? https://www.denverpost.com/2026/05/08/nuggets-aaron-gordon-trade-health-nikola-jokic-renck/
Renck: Nuggets act like they can’t win without Aaron Gordon — but can they win with him?

How many other players can we say that about on the Nuggets’ roster? Four? Five? The list begins with Jamal Murray, includes Christian Braun, maybe a few others, and finishes with Gordon.

I like MPJ, but he wasn’t good at plugging the lane, either. #Nuggets

“If I would've been on the #Nuggets, we wouldn’t have lost to the Wolves," Michael Porter Jr. said recently. What MPJ forgot to add was that he HAD his chance to beat Minnesota in '24 — and stunk up the court. @DenverPost column: 👇

Keeler: Nuggets, Nikola Jokic need athletic defenders, not Michael Porter Jr.’s revisionist history

Remember when Nuggets were eliminated from the postseason by Minnesota in 2024? No? Michael Porter Jr. was Deadpool in Los Angeles and Nicepool in Minneapolis. Cherish your history. Just don’t revise it.

Everyone loves Aaron Gordon. But can #Nuggets trust him to stay healthy?

#Nuggets’ Kroenke on how define success with Nikola Jokic on roster
#Nuggets Adelman said he was pleased with Christian Braun’s comments about leadership. He sees Braun as a leader. Adelman said he believes team has leaders and it showed during adversity. But admits he wants to continue to see improvement and Adelman said part of that is him “looking in mirror”
#Nuggets Kroenke said he believes team in championship window as long as Jokic on team. His tenor in talking about Aaron Gordon was that of helping him stay healthy. He went through an unspeakable tragedy with the loss of his brother. Gordon has said it has affected him mentally and physically. Kroenke wants to have conversations with Gordon to help him.
#Nuggets Kroenke said he believes in the competitive nature of the roster despite the meek response to Timberwolves’ physicality. Pointed to injuries. But admitted they are not letting that mask what they saw. Again. Combing through everything to decide plan moving forward
