Pete D'Alessandro hired as Nuggets senior VP of business, team operations

Former Nuggets front office executive Pete D'Alessandro is returning to Denver to become the team's senior vice president of business and team operations, leaving the Sacramento Kings after a messy front office shakeup that saw him stripped of decision-making power.

Team president Josh Kroenke also announced he was promoting Greg Sherman to the same role for the Avalanche.

"As KSE (Kroenke Sports Entertainment) has evolved as a company, my role and duties within the company have evolved as well," Kroenke said in a written statement. "Pete's addition to our operations team is a natural product of that evolution, and his experiences over his professional career have put him in a unique position to assist me in multiple areas ranging from league operations to team budgeting.
