I mean, how long does it take for all the decision makers to get together and figure out the needs and wants (skill-wise) for the team. That can also be a part of the interview process. Once that is decided on, they would most assuredly have a list of the known quantities throughout the league, then it comes down to projections of who might be able to fit those skillsets.
I feel like some of that could happen in about a week to be prepared for the draft. Sure there might be some fly by the seat of your pants decisions to make, but that comes with the territory of jumping on breaking news for all FOs.
First strategy needs to be decided and there is a huge amount of key questions: trade KP or not, trade Brunson or not, what to do with Powell, will JRich opt in or not, what to do if he does, who to draft if you get any pick in potential trades, go over or under the cap,...? I guess the best scenario depends a lot on what can be done on the market. Which trades are available, which free agents want to come,... It is totally impossible that a new guy waltzes in, takes 6 calls and that's it. He needs time.
I believe teams are tampering as hell and discussions are going on all the time. Same goes for trades. Mavs GM is missing all this. Assuming he will be the one working. If not, I guess I will be rooting for new team in 3-4 years. New York might be in prime position if they play it smart. At least most of the games will be played earlier for me
