One thing I learned is Penny wants lounge upgrades and practice court “shooting guns” to bring the new facility up to NBA standards. I hope it will be done ASAP.
Lounge upgrades to a $20 Million building that is only a few month old. I'm sure that will go over well.
I would imagine it would come down to what is the cost of said upgrades. But I also think it will be done regardless of the cost. With the potential of a new and vastly increased contract with Nike because of Penny, whatever he wants, within reason, he will get. Think Tubby would have gotten a Mercedes Sprinter recruiting van just after being hired? I own a fairly loaded Sprinter and I can say that the new Tiger van was $250K or even greater depending on the electronics/AV systems. With the way things are going how can you say "no we gotta hold off spending a few more $$$$."
If it was over 200k, it was a ripoff. Unless extravagant electronics are included.
They got the best 8-track money can buy in it.

The upgrades he is asking for will cost a few thousand dollars, not millions.
