This is very exciting, I’d love to have another pro hoops team to root for. It would certainly be a bit weird if they weren’t connected to the Nuggets at all, but I’m not certain how uncommon that is in the W.
Please please please!!!!!! I need this in my life.
A way to not be bored in summer!

Denver the Basketball Town
As someone living in the Twin Cities, the WNBA Lynx are huge here. Arguably more then the T-Wolves.
The thirst for more basketball in Denver is at an all-time high right now. This is the perfect time to open an expansion there.
Bring me a WNBA team and bring me Caitlin Clark (probably wonāt get a team in time for her, but still).
They can barely get half of the arenas filled and they are going to expand? Wild
The Denver Nuggettes MAKE THAT SHIT HAPPEN
Bill Hanzlick said the Gold Crown Foundation would be their Charity sponsor if I remember correctly.
You donāt think Katy would leave us, right? That sounds like a dumb question. š
