No, I definitely don't think anything like that 
. In no way do I think anything is a disaster. I don't think I used "disaster" or "failure" in any of the comments.
1. I think it's hard to imagine a lot of HC interviews in this length of time. It's a month away and Sweeny is still in the playoffs. From what I've read, Masai likes to interview a lot people. That certainly doesn't mean he can't just hire someone he likes and call it a day. It seems like a tall order to me but it's entirely possible. Maybe Sweeny is a non-factor (or is eliminated quickly in the playoffs).
2. They won't be handicapped, but the vision of the team will not be able to take in the HCs philosophy if he's not hired by then. The HC and the assistants are a big part of the team's culture. Maybe that's not a big deal at all, but if I were drafting around Flagg I would want to know that part of the math. Maybe I'm over-thinking that part. I'm not saying its' "vital" but I think it's relevant.
3. The peculiar part for me is the cumulative nature all these things at once. This draft is really not just a clean slate for Masai. I think Flagg (and how he will be used) is really a critical part of this draft and should color how he sees the future of this team. Kidd spent a lot of last year using Flagg a certain way - in a way other coaches would not. Without a HC now, it seems odd to me to draft around Flagg with very different parameters about his position. And Flagg is not just any player. But I don't think in any way this is a disaster. It simply means Masai has to make some assumptions in the draft about how (and where) Flagg plays his position. It's not necessary to do that - I get it - you take the best player and maybe that's that. I just think it helps shape your choices.
But really, I think you just read too much drama into my post. I should have made it more clear.
