I say they have 3-4 weeks easily, because I expect a new GM to come fully prepared to the interviews with a 2-3 year plan how to build a title contender around Luka. I expect that person to have a staff that already know everything about the free agents and the draft. Obviously Mark will hire somebody, who has similar visions and ideas. The NBA draft is on July 29th. So they´ll have two weeks to work out the details of the plan and hire a headcoach before free agency.
Though I don´t think it´s a drama, if the head coach is not in place on August 1st. Ultimately the head coach is just the extended arm of the GM´s philosophy.
