## Resource

Adam Silver and the NBA came down hard on the Clippers and Steve Ballmer in their salary cap circumvention scheme. The Clippers have to give up their next 5 first-round picks. Steve Ballmer is suspended, and there’s much more to unpack. Harrison Wind, Brendan Vogt and Eric Wedum (D-Line Co.) react to the news. Then, how will the Nuggets season compare to the Broncos and Avs? Who will have a more successful campaign over this next year?
